Do's and Dont's of Packing:
Wash your hands frequently to prevent soiling articles
that are being packed.
Set up a work area, preferably on a large table.
Refrain from smoking while packing, for obvious reasons.
Make sure all cartons and packing materials are dry,
clean and of sufficient strength to do the job.
Be sure cartons have lids and secure them with tape after

items on the bottom, lighter items on top. Keep weight
of packed cartons under 50 lbs.
Don't pack soaps, polishes or medicines with foods.
Don't pack coins, currency, valuable papers, jewelry
or other valuables. Carry them with you.
Don't pack matches, inflammables, ammunition, acid, explosives,
paint or chemicals.
Don't pack irons, kitchenware or other heavy items in
cartons with dishes.
Don't leave trays loose in refrigerator or stove.
Make sure all cartons are properly labeled with contents
and destination location to be unpacked (such as kitchen,
bedroom, etc.).
