Remember that all boxes need to be picked up – therefore do not make large boxes too heavy.

Always fill the box up – placing materials between items, such as paper, blankets and towels, which will help to stabilise articles in the box – always use packing to fill out the empty pockets in the cartons.

Always place heavy boxes at the bottom of the unit if stacking the unit high

Remember to remove all perishable and inflammable goods… such as aerosols and batteries.
