Good packing is essential for a good move. If you choose to do some or all of your own packing in preparation for your move, it's especially important that you be familiar with the techniques that will best protect your possessions.
  
Limiting cartons, when possible, to a maximum weight of 50 pounds to make handling easier.
 
  1.Wrapping items carefully.
 
  2.Providing plenty of cushioning 
     to absorb shock
 
  3.Using sturdy cartons that close.
 
  4.Making sure cartons are firmly  
     packed and do not rattle, bulge
     outward or bend inward.
  
5. Not mixing items from different
    rooms in the same carton, when 
    possible.

                                                                                                 Make yourself a "Moving Day Box"
                                                                                                   on "Move Day" for all valuables and
                                                                             important documents.
 
 
    Wrap items individually in clean paper; use tissue paper, paper towels or even facial tissue for fine china, crystal and delicate items.
    Colored wrapping draws attention to very small things. Use a double layer of newspaper for a good outer wrapping.
