Tips :
Packing your furniture and your personal belongings is an important step in your international move process, which is why Activmoving offers plenty of advice to make it easier.
before getting started :
It is recommended to identify the fragile objects. These will need special care and careful packing. Dishes, video games, screens, knick-knacks and small appliances all need specific packing.
Then make sure you have all the appropriate equipment to be able to wrap up your furniture in the best conditions.
List of essensials :
– Bubble wrap
– Labels
– Large duct tape
– Moving boxes
Preparing the boxes
First you need to fold down the smaller box tabs. Then fold over the two larger tabs without overlapping them with the smaller ones. Put duct tape along the gaps of the box, and make it go up the sides. Then put one or two more pieces of tape over the first one to reinforce the box.
