Packing DO’s

• Pack large items into vault first. Beds and sofas on the ends to use the height of the vault, then fill the gaps with smaller items.
• Always pack tightly to prevent movement, and distribute weight as evenly as possible.
• Kitchen appliances should be clean and dry, and remember to leave the doors slightly ajar to prevent condensation.
  
• All small items should be packed in cartons. Use bubble wrap or paper. Ensure you fill and seal all the cartons to prevent the contents moving.
  
• Try and use the same size of carton, as they are easier to stack. Light cartons containing fragile items should be stacked on the heavier cartons to prevent crushing. Don’t forget to label the cartons to help with identification when unpacking.
  
• Mirrors and pictures should be packed on their ends, bubble wrapped and placed between mattresses and soft furnishings.
  
• The polished surfaces of furniture should be protected with dust sheets or covers, and when loading the furniture place the polished surfaces against each other with a sheet between.
  
• Dismantling items such as beds and tables will save you space, but remember to keep all fitting with the dismantled furniture.
  
• Maximise your available space by filling wardrobes and drawers.
• If you are storing in more than one vault, list the items in each, as it will save time if you need to access your possessions.
