Packing Tips

• Lable all your boxes by using the room name, this way everything stays together
• Do not use newspaper when packing glassware, the ink rubs off, instead use bubble wrap or white packing paper
• Purchase the right size of box for the job, smaller boxes for crockery and books, they are easier to handle
• Dishes are much stronger on their side
• Ensure that all bottles containing liquids are closed properly
• Pack your kettle, mugs, tea or coffee and sugar into a separate box for easy access at your new home
• Start packing a room at a time 1 – 2 weeks before the actual moving date
• Start with items that you use less often, pack your clothes and bathroom utensils last
