Start by packing the things you are not using and you would not need until after you move is completed. (e.g. camping equipment, sporting equipment and out of season items, winter or summer clothing ). Work backwards from least to most needed so that your everyday necessities won’t need to be packed until moving day.

Your soft and lightweight goods in drawers need not be removed and packed in boxes; they can be moved as they are. Your movers will wrap dressers with plastic and blankets to keep drawers closed. However, anything breakable, spill-able or that may damage other items should be removed from your drawers prior to moving.

Before adding items to your empty box, create a two to three inch layer of padding at the bottom with crushed news wrap.
Place the heaviest items on the bottom of the box, then build up in layers with medium weight items in the middle and lightest weight items on top.
Each layer should be filled with crumpled news wrap or other packing materials to eliminate empty spaces.
You may further define layers by using sheets of cardboard for dividers.
Everything should be completely covered by paper or other padding.

Moving Guides: How to pack fragile items in a box

Small and fragile items should be individually wrapped. The more delicate the item, the more padding required.
They can then be packed separately in small boxes, either one item per box, or a few together in each box.
Ensure these boxes are fully cushioned with paper or other packing materials.
These smaller boxes can then be placed in a larger box, with each small box cushioned by additional news wrap to fill the gaps between boxes.

Moving Guides: Organising and labeling boxes

As you seal each box, list its contents on the side in permanent marker. You can also keep track of your boxes and contents in a notebook. You may also wish to number each box for better tracking.
Which room should the box be directed to? If you mark each box clearly by room, you can tape signs on each room at your new home, which will help the movers quickly distribute the boxes to their appropriate rooms.
Which boxes will you want to unpack first at your new home? Indicate these priority boxes with a special mark so they can be set aside when you get there. Your relax moving team will assist you on the moving date.
