Packing can be difficult and tricky. Still, there are ways you can save money and there are certainly ways you can avoid damaging your things during the move. You just have to know what to use when packing every type of item. You must also know how to box them and how to load them properly.   While you need a lot of boxes for your things, you can also use plastic bags for certain items. For instance, linens, beddings and soft furnishing can be placed in bags. Even certain clothing and stuffed toys can be placed in bags too.    Fragile items need to be boxed though. But before you load anything into the box, you should first seal and reinforce the bottom of the box. Then you should line the inside bottom with cushion. You should also wrap and cushion each item and then put another line of cushion in between each item.   When boxing other items, it's best to put the biggest items in first. The smaller items can easily fill the gaps in between bigger items. Irregularly shaped items can also fill the remaining spaces in the box.   Whether you use a bag or a box, it's important that you seal the containers well so they will not tear open and the contents will not fall during transit. You should also label each so you will have an easier time unpacking everything later on.
