When you pack your items, consider the floor plan of your new home, so that you
organize your items based on the rooms that they will be placed in upon
delivery. This will make the unpacking process more efficient.
During your move, It is important to use the correct packing materials needed to
protect your possessions. This will alleviate any damage during transit. Royal
Movers recommends using various size cartons for specific items.
Book cartons (1.5 cu. Ft.) are small, easy to handle cartons designed for heavy
items like books, CD’s, and DVD’s. Be sure not to overload the carton, as it may
become too heavy for handling. Be sure to individually wrap any very old or
valuable books.
Medium cartons (3 cu. ft.) have a wide range of uses for smaller items
throughout your home. This size box is ideal for small appliances, tools,
non-perishable food or clothing. Packing similar items together will make
unpacking easier.
Large cartons (4.5 cu. ft. to 6.5 cu. ft.) are very useful for packing light
weight, bulky items such as pillows, linens and large toys.
Dish packs are especially sturdy cartons for fragile items such as china,
glassware, figurines and sculptures. These cartons are reinforced with cellular
inserts to further protect items such as crystal stemware. Each carton should be
labeled, “Fragile-This End Up” to avoid damage.
Upright Cartons are used for lamps, statues and other items that require a
special size.
Wardrobe Boxes are “portable” closets used to move your clothing from your
closet. Clothing remains on hangers so that they stay wrinkle-free and clean.
Mirror/Picture Cartons are specially designed telescoping cartons that fit
mirrors, pictures and glass tabletops exactly. Each carton has heavy corrugated
braces that reinforce each corner.
Mattress Cartons are available from crib to king mattress sizes and they will
protect mattresses and box springs from dirt and tearing and help to provide
structural support to avoid bending.
Packing Paper should be unprinted and used for wrapping and padding.
Please be aware that your electronic equipment may require special preparation.
Be sure to detach all cords and wires and keep them in a labeled bag so that you
know where they belong. When moving computers, scanners or printers, be sure to
detach cords and wires, paper trays, etc, and label all cables and wires for
easy re-assembly. Be sure to use well padded, sturdy cartons to cushion the
equipment. Mark these items, “fragile”. Large screen televisions will require
extra padding and protections. If possible, pack it in its original carton. If
these cartons are not available, consider crating the item prior to moving day.
