Packing Information
Moving Preparation Instructions
Packing of all small
or loose articles.
All small and loose articles must be packed
in boxes that are sealed both top and bottom,
completely fill your boxes, leaving space in
the top of the box will cause the box to crush
and possibly cause damage to the articles inside.
No plastic bags or open top boxes please, as
they are difficult to load properly and do not
protect your belongings, thus increasing the
chances for damage to those items or surrounding
items in the truck.
|
It is important that
your boxes are sealed with the proper
kind of tape, we recommend using vinyl-moving
tape. Please do not use scotch, masking,
or duct tape, as they are not designed
to stick to cardboard, and generally will
not keep a carton closed during the handling
that is necessary.
 Labeling
of all boxes should include a brief content
description along with the room the box
belongs in. All labeling should be done
on the side of the box as they will be
stacked in your new home and this will
make it easier for you to locate necessary
items.
Mandatory Packing: all
canvas type paintings or artwork must
be placed into picture cartons
Hanging Clothes:
will be packed into loaner wardrobe cartons
on the day of the move, the moving crew
will do this.
This is a general list
of items. A good rule of thumb is: if
it will fit into a box, pack it in a box |

Instructions for packing of boxes
| DISHPACK |
| 1) |
Make a cushion in the
bottom of the box by crumpling up a bunch
of paper and placing it into the carton. |
|
| 2) |
Packing of plates, bowls,
etc. While your roll of paper is opened
up place one plate in the center of the
paper and pull a sheet or two of paper over
the top of the plate and place another plate
on top, do this for up to six plates, pull
paper over the top of the last plate and
make a bundle out of the plates, either
tape closed or just place into the dishpack
carton, place the plates on their edge,
do not lay them flat. Continue this process
for smaller plates, bowls etc. until the
bottom of the dishpack is full. |
|
| 3) |
Follow step one again
to provide cushion between the layers in
the dishpack. |
|
| 4) |
Do not use step two in
this layer, this will make a carton extremely
heavy, what you want to use in this layer
is medium weight articles such as larger
bowls, spices, pots & pans. |
|
| 5) |
Follow step 3 again |
|
| 6) |
The top of the dishpack
should be used for glasses, cups, etc. Wrap
each glass or cup completely making sure
you have good cushion around the piece,
place the glasses or cups on their ends,
this is the most rigid part of the glass
(do not lay glasses flat) |
|
| 7) |
If needed, crumple up
paper to fill the top of the box, remember
to completely fill your boxes. |
