* Heavy Packages. Don't pack too much into a box. It is better to have a lot of boxes that you can lift, than fewer boxes and a strained back.When packing a box that weighs more than 30 pounds, it is important to re-evaluate your package materials and check that they are adequate for heavier package contents.
* Small Items. To prevent small items from being lost or mistakenly thrown out with the packing paper, wrap miniature knickknacks and other small items in brightly-colored tissue paper before placing them in the box.
* Draperies and Curtains - Wardrobe cartons are excellent for hanging curtains and drapes. If wardrobes aren't used, pack folded curtains and drapes in cartons that have been lined with clean newsprint.
