When moving house you have to be careful not to make boxes too heavy. Individual items like books are light on their own but if you put 30 in a box it can end up being too heavy to lift. So make sure you buy the right size box for the things you are looking to pack.
Use small storage boxes for books, DVD’s and smaller items ; use medium storage boxes for kitchen items and larger, lighter items; use large storage boxes for bed linen and clothes.
And if you are using self-storage to store your belongings, ensure that boxes are well-packed. Part-filled boxes can be weaker if you are stacking them and could potentially collapse if they are at the bottom. For more advice on packing and storing, get in touch with your local store.
