Professional Packing Techniques
Expert methods to ensure your belongings arrive safely
The Heavy-to-Light Rule
Always pack heavier items at the bottom of boxes and lighter items on top to prevent damage.
The Full Box Technique
Fill boxes completely to prevent collapse. Use packing paper or bubble wrap to fill gaps.
The Bundle Wrapping Method
Wrap several similar items together with cushioning material between each piece.
The Box Labeling System
Label all sides of boxes with room, contents, and handling instructions (e.g., 'FRAGILE', 'THIS END UP').
