\n
\n<\/strong>Use strong walled boxes weak boxes do not stack well and put your items at risk
\nTry to keep to 4-5 variations of size or less if possible this saves time loading<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Don’t overload a box it should be packed up to its capacity so the top can be closed
\n<\/span>Don’t under load a box either as it is wasting space and making the box weaker for stacking
\n<\/span>Pack heavy items such as books into smaller boxes and light weight items into larger boxes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Small solid items should go in a box keeping fragile and non fragile items in separate boxes
\n<\/span>Make sure food items are sealed properly and upright
\n<\/span>Avoid packing fluids which may leak or flammable hazardous items plants or animals
\n<\/span>Avoid mixing fragile items with items that could cause them to break<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\n<\/strong>All boxes should be clearly labelled with contents and which position it should be kept in
\nMark clearly where the box is to be placed on delivery
\nMark any boxes containing fragile items clearly and if it should not be stacked upon
\nSeal boxes with parcel tape top and bottom continuing around the whole box<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Wrap each individual item with paper offcuts or similar and place gently into the box
\nFor extremely fragile items double up and or use bubblewrap for extra protection
\nMirrors pictures and lamps should be wrapped thoroughly in bubble wrap
\nTVs can be wrapped in bubble wrap (leave the TVs to us if unsure about handling)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Any soft items such as linen bedding cushions or clothing etc can be packed in bags
\n<\/span>Bags should not be used for solid or heavy items<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Suitcases and bags are ideal for packing clothing which you dont mind having to iron
\n<\/span>Any suits\/dresses that require hanging can be rehung in a wardrobe if available
\n<\/span>Hanging boxes can be used but take up valuable loading space and can be costly<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\n<\/strong>All drawers should be emptied but on some occasions light weight non fragile items are ok
\n<\/span>Fridges need to be empty freezer items may be ok left in place for short distance moves?<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
