Helpful Packing Tips
Here are a couple of packing tips from our expert staff.
- Don't try to pack your items in a used box to save money. Produce boxes usually have moisture in them which makes them weaker and there could be insects in the boxes.
- Use packing tape for your boxes. Duct tape will cause the box to fall apart.
