Packing Tips
- Use high quality packing boxes designed especially for the job, not “grocery store” cartons.
- Packing supplies are available in the office.
- Pack books and other heavy objects in smaller boxes for easier lifting.
- When there is a need to pack clothes, use wardrobe boxes available on site so the clothes can be hung for safer storage.
- Use the same size boxes for easy stacking.
- Fill boxes completely, stuff open areas with plain newsprint to prevent collapsing when the boxes are stacked.
- Seal boxes completely with packing tape to prevent dust from settling on contents.
Storage Space Usage Tips

- Disassemble tables and shelves and store on their sides.
- Wrap and mark all pieces for easier re-assembly.
