General Tips
Have all boxes sealed on top and bottom with tape. This prevents your items from falling out.
Have all boxes labeled with their room destination.
Wrap pictures and have them boxed and sealed.
Stack lamp shades inside each other and box them. This will prevent any punctures or damage.
Books should be packed tightly in small, sealed boxes.
Remove pendulums from clocks or have them secured tightly to the base of the clock.
Grandfather clocks should be secured by a clock man.
Have all fragile articles packed and secured separately in durable marked boxes.
Have light-colored cushions (couch, love seat, etc.) bagged in large trash bags.
You should keep all valuables in your immediate possession. These items should be moved by the owner: jewelry, watches, money, legal documents, etc.
