On the move? Pack smart with our tips.

Make the most of the space in your moving boxes with these tips:

* Use paperbacks to pad the sides of boxes with empty corners and spaces.
* Pack CDs vertically in boxes instead of stacking them flat.
* Prevent breakage by wrapping lids separately.
* Use an extra large box for lampshades and cushion them with soft pillows.
* Use rope to secure furniture doors and drawers since tape will damage wood.
* Pack dishes upright in double wall corrugated dish boxes with cell packs or dividers.
* Pack electronics in original boxes or wrap pieces in plastic bags and pack in heavy-duty boxes.
* Tape an “X” of masking tape across mirrors and pictures with glass before wrapping them in bubble wrap—it will keep the wrap from smudging the glass.
* Protect mirrors and pictures with corrugated corners.
* Wrap exposed furniture legs in bubble wrap or newsprint, wrap in furniture pads and tie securely.

It is recommended that you pack your things yourself rather than ask others to pack them for you. In that way you would be sure that your stuff is in good hands. This article is very informative and helpful. Wanna know why it is important that you have your things packed before giving it to the movers? Visit movingguide.net.

Packing should be done according to the person that is moving as it really helps at the time of unpacking. But if this process is handed to the service company they also do it very nicely but one should monitor them. I really like the tips that you have mentioned. They sounds to be very helpful for me. Thanks.

Great tips, Donna. I would add another packing tip that people often forget: labeling. It is a little time consuming, but it prevents a chaotic unpacking.
