| File Boxes are also important if you are not going to bring your file cabinets with you. A lot of people tend to empty out their file cabinets to make it easier to lift, but you are wasting space with more boxes if you do this.
Packing Advice
You will want to have plenty of towels, blankets, or old linens to wrap around furniture and other items that might be scratched. Chairs should be stacked seat to seat to save space if possible. If they are wood chairs or other types of chairs that could be scratched, you will want to use a towel or paper between the seats. It is important to label all boxes with the contents and if there is anything you are disassembling, you will want to label where the parts go for ease of putting it back together.
Heavier items should be split up in boxes rather than packed in the same box. This is especially important when you have books. Textbooks can be extremely heavy as are other books, so if you use smaller boxes or fill half the box with books and the other half with linens you may save yourself so problems. Keep in mind you will want the heavier items on the bottom.
Moving is stressful so knowing how to pack, having the correct boxes, and other packing supplies is important. Other packing supplies you may need for your trip are tape, magic markers, and newspaper.
