Use
only strong, corrugated cartons with covers. You
can buy specially made cartons, for everything
from mattresses to clothing and mirrors, from
the mover. The added protection of
mover-provided cartons may avoid damage that
results from the use of poor-quality packing
materials. Your alternative is to collect boxes
discarded by your *grocery or liquor store. Save
old newspapers for use in packing, but remember
that ink may rub off and stain clothing or other
items.
*WARNING: Insect eggs and insects
such as roaches can travel in food boxes. Keep
this in mind when getting boxes from food
stores.
Here's a list
of packing supplies that will come in handy:
• Plastic bags and labels for easy
identification.
• Foam peanuts, styrofoam pellets or
"popcorn."
• Tissue or craft paper for delicate packing
jobs.
• Corrugated paper rolls for figurines and
fragile items.
• Gummed tape (1 1/2 to 2 inches wide) and/or
strong twine for sealing cartons.
• Markers and labels for identifying contents
of cartons.
• Notebook and pencil for carton
identification log.
• Scissors and/or sharp knife.
