Complete all packing before the Furniture Removal Day.
To save time, assemble all small items for packing in one room!.
Ensure that cartons are properly sealed and banded at the bottom prior to packing
the carton.
Label all boxes as soon as you’re done packing them
Pack cartons tight and to capacity with enough cushioning between articles! Boxes
that are under filled are more likely to be crushed and boxes that are overfilled will
fall apart.
Wrap all glassware, china and breakables individually in packing materials.
Put crumpled newsprint or a layer of bubble wrap in the bottom of your box and
then slide your wrapped pictures and mirrors vertically on it. If necessary, fill any
empty spaces in the box with newspaper or bubble wrap to prevent pieces from
moving around. Clearly label the box as fragile!!!
Small items, loose pieces are best protected packed in boxes/cartons!
Placing the heaviest items in the bottom, work your way up toward the lightest
item and finish with a cushioning layer of crumpled newsprint or bubble wrap.
Use wardrobe cartons for bulky Light-weighted bedding like comforters, pillows
and blankets, as well as clothes that must remain hanging! Remember we have to
lift them so don’t overfill or make them to heavy!
Avoid loading more than 30kg into a box!
When packing appliances, be sure to apply several layers of heavy- duty tape to
the underside of the box. Put down a layer of padding such as newspaper or bubble
wraps inside the box before wrapping and packing the appliance self.
When packing artwork, be sure to slip corrugated cardboard corners onto the
edges of each piece.
Pack books tightly on end in small boxes. If musty smelling, sprinkle talcum
powder between the pages and wrap the book before packing.
NEVER pack explosives, combustibles or liquids between your articles.
These could cause damage and will void your insurance.
