Labeling
Label each box indicating which room it will go to upon delivery. Pack fragile items carefully in separate boxes, and label those boxes as “FRAGILE”. Tape each box shut. Keep the weight of each box at 40 pounds or less for ease of maneuverability. “Do not pack flammable items such as paint, gasoline, lighter fluids or other such items!”
