You’ll have many boxes to fill and close and you’ll want this process to be as simple as possible. Make sure its professional packing tape, masking tape isn’t sturdy enough. One of the most important supplies you’ll need is packing paper; please do not use newspaper as it may end up staining your valuables. You don’t want to have to arrive at your new home and have to clean each item. Paper pads have been especially designed to wrap larger items in your home. These pads are quick and easy to use and provide excellent protection. For
your very fragile items such as glasses, vases, and collectibles you’ll need additional protection. Please use bubble wrap for your very fragile items. Another method to increase the protection for your cherished item is to pour some Styrofoam peanuts inside the box to prevent the contents from shifting. Another product you might be interested in purchasing is foam wrap. It will also provide extra protection for your really fragile items.

Assembling your Moving Boxes You’re now ready to learn how to assemble your boxes. Some of your boxes will come folded. You need to unfold them and tape the bottom securely. You’ll need one strip of tape to secure the top and 3 additional strips across the seam. And then you’ll use one strip of tape on each side. You’re now ready to turn over your box and start packing but before you do tape down the front two sides of the box this will allow you easy access to load your content. Many of the boxes made by Uboxes already come with the sides on the top down for easy access all you have to do when you’re done packing is simply break the seal and your boxes are ready to go.
