Packing
Paper: You are going to need plenty of packing paper.
Many people save and use their old newspapers. Keep in
mind, however, that the ink on newsprint never thoroughly
dries. Consequently, the goods you wrap in newspapers
are most likely going to be soiled and will require cleaning
after unpacking, and before you put them away. For items
you prefer to keep clean it would be best to purchase
packing paper.
Cartons:
You'll need many boxes in assorted sizes. All boxes
should be in good condition, and must have covers on
them in order that they can be closed up and sealed.
Sealing
Tape: The best tape for this purpose is plastic tape.
Your rolls of tape should be at least 1.5 to 2 inches
wide.
Magic
Marker: This is for marking your packed boxes with such
information as the contents of the box, "FRAGILE"
"THIS SIDE UP", etc.
