Packing Removal Cartons
Like everything concerned with your removal preparation is the key...
Packing Removal Cartons
- Select the right carton for the right job.
- For heavy items like books, wine, and tinned food use small cartons such as book cartons.
- Tip carton upside down to gain ready access to flaps on bottom of the carton.
- Fold opposite flaps of cartons. DO NOT interlock flaps.
- Tape bottom of carton securely. We recommend two thickness of packing tape.
- Place the carton to be packed at a comfortable height, on top of a previously packed carton is a good idea, again protecting your back so you don't bend over so far.
- Line bottom of carton with padding - scrunched up paper, towels and linen may be used.
- Ensure that the whole item is totally wrapped
- Fill all gaps between items with either butchers paper or some form of cushioning, this will decrease movement within the carton.
- A good rule of thumb, every one carton should have two-thirds china, one third padding.
- When placing layers of items within a carton, always use butchers paper (or equivalent) between each layer.
- After each layer of china or glassware place another layer of padding - ensure there is also sufficient padding on the sides of the carton and finally on the top.
- Wrap all china and glassware pieces separately - then stack in carton on their ends or ends.
- Breakable items, such as glassware, crockery, etc. should be wrapped individually in butchers' paper.
- After each layer of china or glassware place another layer of padding - ensure there is also sufficient padding on the sides of the carton and finally on the top.
- Save all your Tupperware and the like to fill the top half of a carton, then the carton is not too heavy and also there is not too much weight on top of your breakables.
- For ease of carriage, pack a mixture of light and heavy items in large cartons. Pack cartons right to the top or fill right to the top with padding, BUT don't overfill.
