Before packing the cartons, line the bottom with a few inches of wadded newsprint for padding. Then place large heavy items on the bottom, and lighter, more fragile items on top. Most things, such as plates and books, should be loaded vertically to utilize their own maximum structural strength.

Don't overload cartons; keep them to a manageable weight. Fill in any voids and top off loaded cartons with wadded paper and tape cartons securely to avoid shifting while enroute. Be sure to label contents and room to make unpacking more organized.
