- Put heavier items at the bottom of boxes,
- Put fragile/lighter items at the top,
- Rather than using bubble wrap using clothing or old sheets and linens to wrap delicate or fragile items, pack glasses with and into socks,
- Use old newspapers or clothing to fill empty gaps in boxes this will stop things from shifting around and breaking or scratching one another,
- Do not pack damp clothes or items with liquids in boxes, this will weaken the box.
- Use a suitcase for each family member and pack a holiday bag containing useful items, toiletries and clothing you will need.
- Use suit carrier to move clothes from your wardrobe.
- Use a black bin page and pull up over 10 garments straight from the hanger .Tie up around the hanger and secure with tape
- Use plastic boxes, tupperware and food containers to group smaller items together and tape to seal the box, use a sharpie to label the box.
