When moving comes you
need to consider well what to pack and how. Amongst the most important and
valuable items in your home are the books of course. I have created this
article to help you pack your books for moving and if possible save some money
as well. On first sight it looks like a simple task but there are some tricks
that are good to know.
Informing yourself how
to pack books for moving is one of the things to do before moving.
If you are moving to
another state it will be convenient for you to pack and take everything before
moving day so you have enough time to prepare. But if you are moving to a
smaller distance you can leave the heaviest books at your friend or relatives’
place when getting organized to move and pick them up after the moving is over
and the moving day has passed.
Before starting the
packing of books, it is a good opportunity to reevaluate the books you would
like to keep. Keep in mind that books can be heavy and it will increase the
weight of your load, thus increasing your transportation cost. Consider selling
some books at a yard sale, donating them to charity, or selling to a secondhand
bookstore.
Close the boxes and seal
them tightly with sturdy packing tape. Seal all box edges to prevent moisture
and other damaging conditions from entering the boxes. Use heavy black markers
to label the boxes. Place the boxes off
the floor on pallets or racks with several inches in between them, and several
inches away from the walls. This will allow adequate air circulation. Do not
place the boxes close to exterior walls, because moisture can be absorbed from
the outdoor air. Do not stack the boxes, and don't stack anything else on top
of them.
