Moving Tips > Helpful hints for packing

Use smaller and stronger cardboard boxes for heavy items such as books and dishes.
Dishes, plates, glasses can be wrapped in newspaper. Place them inside of sturdy cardboard boxes and fill any vacant spaces with towels, sheets or T-shirts.
Large pictures or paintings can be safely shipped. First cover the glass part with cardboard material, and wrap it with cutout cardboard or place it into a cardboard box of appropriate size.
Small pieces of furniture usually do not need crating, but they do need cardboard wrapping.
Electric appliances can be shipped in their original cartons or similar boxes.
As mentioned in the section on saving money, many people use too much tape in taping their cardboard boxes. If you use a strong packing tape about 2 or 3 inches wide, one strip along the openings and one or two crossing strips should be adequate. It is not necessary to wrap the entire package several times with multiple layers of tape. Rope and string are also unnecessary.
