- 4.5 cubic foot box - as the box gets larger, use for lighter objects such as pillows, bedding, and stuffed animals
- Picture or mirror box - a four-piece box that can come in large or small sizes; it can be customized by telescoping in and out; use crumpled packing paper in the corners to add cushion and make sure to wrap your mirror or picture with bubble wrap before placing it in the box.
- Wardrobe box - allows clothes to be transported on hangers; includes a metal bar along the top of the box to hang clothing.
Essential Packing Supplies

- Sealing tape plastic tape - 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) to 2 inches (5.08 cm) wide; best for packing, test to see if it ruins finish before taping up drawers and canisters.
- Permanent marker - used to label boxes with contents and destination in new location; mark boxes fragile and this side up when appropriate.

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.
