More Packing Tips To Be Familiar With - Key Strategies to Protect All Your Items

Electronic Items:

For all electronic items, such as amplifier, DVD, VCR, video, boom box, stereo speakers, computer (not computer screen) printer, fax, small copy machine etc...We still recommend to use dish pack box because it is considered to be the strongest and thickest box available in our inventory that will provide you with added protection. Please surround each one of them (electronic items) with lots of bubblewrap (use the thick bubblewrap) and place them in the box. Put the heaviest at the bottom and the lightest at the top. It is always good to put the amplifier at the bottom since it is a heavier electronic item. The rest should be depending on size and weight.

Table Lamps:

For ceramic or glass table lamp, we still recommend to use the dish pack box simply surround them with lots of bubblewrap (use the thick kind of bubblewrap for added protection). Place them in the box make sure they are well secured around the walls of the box by using bubblewrap or paper balls around the items to avoid movement during transportation. Regarding the lampshades, you will need to open a new dish pack. They will have to be placed by themselves since they will keep its full protection within the transportation. No bubblewrap is necessary for the lamp shades, simply place them in the box and they will still have the necessary protection.

Please note: For all of your fragile items, we don't recommend using other boxes, beside dish pack, since they are not strong enough and can get smashed or break under pressure.

Picture:

Open the box, surround the picture with bubblewrap. For oil paint, simply wrap with paper sheets, do not wrap it in bubblewrap since the wrap might increases heat transport to the paint and the oil might leak and stain the whole picture. Place the picture or oil paint per box. If it's a small painting, two paintings can be place in a box but they should not intertwine. Do not mix oil paint with glass picture that you protect with bubblewrap due to the same reason mentioned above. Make sure they are well placed in the box to prevent excess movement during transportation.

TV and computer screen:

A special box is available that comes in different sizes. Small, medium and large. Simply surround the TV or computer screen with lots of bubblewrap (two layers of bubblewrap is enough when using thicker wrap) and place them in the box to prevent movement. You can add paper balls in between items to increase protection as well.
