| Don’t underestimate how long packing may take.
Plan well ahead and pack box by box. Don’t forget to label each
cardboard box as they are packed! It will save so much time whenever the
time comes to unpack! Try to label quite specifically, rather than using
general terms such as ‘paperwork’ or ‘kitchen items’,
list exactly what is in each box. A lot of household paperwork and bank
statements are perhaps something you would not expect to need to refer
to again and not feel the need to state ‘bank statements, paid household
bills and mortgage statements’, however if you do need to check
how much you paid for a certain item or find proof of delivery, then be
prepared! The last thing you want is to undo all the cardboard boxes in
your attic to find a simple piece of paperwork! |
| To maximise the strength of the cardboard
boxes, ensure they are H-taped. This involves taping the two adjoining
lengths as normal, but also then taping corner-to-corner forming the shape
of the letter H. |
| Another key to packing is not to overload! It is quite
tempting to put all your books into one or two cardboard boxes full to
the top. Whilst the cardboard will support the weight, you may well strain
a muscle or pull your back in the process of manoeuvring the box! Hand
holes have been designed for easy carrying, so remember as you are packing
that they also have to be moved! Distribute books amongst four or five
boxes and fill the airspace with something light and bulky, such as blankets
or towels. |
| Generally speaking, use the correct sized cardboard
box that best fits the product. The ideal box leaves little air space.
This is particularly important if boxes are to be stacked on top of each
other. It will ensure your possessions are well protected by the cardboard.
Fragile or vulnerable items will need an additional protection in the
form of bubble
wrap, which can also be purchased from Simply Boxes. Take care when
packing to ensure your possessions are secure and protected. |
| Packing should not be overwhelming and can quite often
be fun if you allow yourself time and are not too hurried! |
