Not All Boxes Are Created Equal

Using the right box for the right items helps protect your belongings and makes loading and unloading easier.

Kitchen

The kitchen often requires the most packing time.

Best boxes:

• Small boxes for dishes and glassware
• Medium boxes for appliances
• Dish-pack boxes for fragile items

Use packing paper around plates and stack them vertically whenever possible.

Bathroom

Use small boxes for toiletries and personal care items. Seal liquids in plastic bags to prevent leaks.

Living Room

Use medium and large boxes for decorative items, books, electronics, and lamps. Label cords and accessories before disconnecting electronics.

Dining Room

Wrap china, crystal, and serving pieces individually. Use specialty dish packs for valuable collections.

Bedrooms

Use wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes and medium boxes for folded clothing, linens, and shoes.

Garage and Storage Areas

Use heavy-duty boxes for tools and hardware. Never pack flammable or hazardous materials with household goods.

Proper Labeling Matters

Label every box with:

• Room destination
• General contents
• Fragile designation when necessary

Proper labeling can save hours during unpacking.
