Moving Boxes

    It’s important to use new corrugated moving boxes whenever possible. The more times a box is used, the more it loses its original protective qualities. Choose the move boxes’ strength suitable for the contents being shipped. Usually the maximum gross weight is printed on the Box Maker’s Certificate on the bottom flap. For further information on box strength guidelines, UPS has created a chart to assist people in determining the proper size and maximum gross weight limit of the moving boxes.

    To pack moving boxes  can be an exciting time. It can also be a time fraught with worry and apprehension. Placing your entire life inside a bunch of boxes is no easy task. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming unless you have the Box Flap holder. Tackle some of the stress head-on with these tips on how to stay organized during the packing process.
In the long run, it pays to purchase appropriate moving supplies. Sturdy moving boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, box flap holder, and packing peanuts can purchased at moving companies and truck-rental firms. In addition, clothing, blankets, and pillows can be used as buffers between breakable objects.

    Move boxes with a plan. Pack up one room at a time, and include any essential information on the box that you may want to remember once you reach your new home. The box flap holder will help you move boxes in half the time. Slip one plastic holder on each flap of a box you're packing. Keeps the flaps down until you're through.

    Pack moving boxes with an inventory list to help organize all the items you’re moving. Have a copy on hand as you’re packing up your belongings and then place it in a safe place during the move. Once you begin the process of unpacking, use the inventory list and the box flap holder to help account for your belongings.

    To ensure safe delivery of a special item, FedEx suggests placing small packages inside a larger outer container. This box-in-box method restricts product movement inside the box during shipment. With this method, it is recommended the inner moving boxes be wrapped with an air-cellular cushioning material or at least three inches of loose-fill peanuts to fill the spaces between the inner box and outer moving boxes.
