Methods

Gathering packing supplies before you start. There’s nothing more frustrating then having to stop half-way through a packing session in order to get more supplies.
Pack heavier items on the bottom
Stuff socks, scarves, pillow cases and other small fabric items in holes and crevices in boxes – just make sure you keep pairs of socks together.
Make sure all boxes can close properly and be sealed so the tops are flat. If you over-pack a box. You risk damage to the contents.
Pack small items in small boxes and place them into a large box. Label all boxes, large or small.
Small, loose items should be boxed or bagged and sealed securely before placing into a larger box.
Wrap all fragile, breakable items in paper before packing them in boxes
Pack large and heavy items first, smaller items next, filling in all empty spaces with plain newsprint
Label boxes clearly : Your name, room where the box should go in your new home and a brief description of the contents
