Preparing Your Boxes

• Identify the bottom of the box.
• Fold the two smaller flaps
• Fold the two larger flaps
• Seal with packing tape. Put a strip along the joint and at least six inches up the sides.
  Do not interlock the flaps, as this will weaken the box.
  Clearly Label each box with the items inside and the room it is going into in your new home.
  The heavier the item the smaller the box it should be packed in.
  
• Small Boxes should be used for heavy items such as tinned food, books, cds, dvds and delicate china etc.
• Medium Boxes should be used for breakables, crockery, ornaments, kitchen utensils, lamp shades etc.
• Large Boxes should be used for lighter items such as toys, linen, shoes, soft goods, clothing etc.
