Furniture

For furniture, quilted moving blankets are apt. Also, the furniture is wrapped in paper pads to prevent it from dust or light scratching. For prevention against heavy scratching, the furniture is wrapped in corrugated sheets. The exposed legs (of tables and chairs) are wrapped in bubble wrap or newspaper.

Electronics Packing

For computers, electronic and other fragile products, it is best to use anti-static bubble wrap and packing peanuts. First the item is carefully wrapped with the anti-static bubble wrap and then taped. A portion of the box that contains these items is filled with packing peanuts. Then the item(s) is placed in the box(es) and toped off with the remaining portion of the packing peanuts (only electronics require anti-static bubble wrap).

Major Appliances Packing

The owner's manual must be checked for any special instructions before the packing starts. Make sure the inside and outside of all appliances are clean. The inside of some appliances, such as washing machines and dryers, can be stuffed with towels or linens and the parts that could come loose should be taped down. The appliance can be then wrapped with furniture pads and tied securely.

Dishes and Glassware Packing

Fragile (easily breakable) items such as china, glass and ornaments are individually wrapped in materials like "bubble pack", acid free tissue paper or white paper (depending on the item) and then packed in double wall export cartons.
