Top tips:
- It may be the obvious but pack heavier items in the bottom of the box and lighter items on top.
- Always fill boxes to the top, avoid half-filled boxes as once stacked on top of each other may weaken the ones underneath.
- Try to be as organized as possible by looking at your inventory, this way you can keep track of what you are putting in each box.
- After boxing clearly label each box as this makes life much easier when it comes to loading and unpacking, you know which boxes goes where and will be able to find item quickly and easily. Numbering boxes can also be very useful.
