Campus Storage Packing Tips

• Do not over pack your box! Over packing your box can cause it to break down over time.
• Protect the contents in your box. Use bubble wrap, blankets, towels or anything else that will help protect your belongings.
• Do not put more than fifty pounds in your box! Putting more than fifty pounds in your box can also cause your box to break down over time.
• Distribute the weight in your boxes evenly. Do not put all the heavy items in one box. For example, do not put all of your text books in one box!
• Tape your Box very thoroughly! The more tape the better. This will help prevent your box from incurring any damage.
• Remember to label your Boxes!
• Make sure that if your box is for storage you label it under the “storage section.” If your box is going to be shipped label it under the "shipping section."
• Remember to carefully label all of your miscellaneous items including your bicycle! Make sure that your labels are securely taped on all of your miscellaneous items.
