Packing Tips

1. Some of your closets and cabinets might already be packed from your pre-move organizing project
2. As you continue packing, mark each box with three lines

• Priority for unpacking

                                                              i.       “Unpack First” or “No Worries”

• Room destination

                                      i.      Consider moving the “No Worries’ boxes into that room’s closet

• Brief description of contents

                                                              i.      Mark ‘Fragile’ or ‘This End Up’ if necessary

3. Tape dresser drawers and cabinet doors closed with painters tape to avoid damage during the move.
4. Shop on-line or Craig’s List for gently used boxes, peanuts and bubble wrap

• This saves money and makes less environmental impact
