Pack Break Log For Free

Paper (bubble) wrap ? A great alternative to the classic plastic bubble wrap for shipping are paper wraps or kraft paper. These papers have creases and bumps that provide good protection for many items.

Steps for Packing Breakables Secure the bottom of your box by taping all open seams and corners. Build a cushion base by lining the inside of the box with bubble wrap or packing peanuts. Individually wrap each item with bubble wrap, packing paper, newspaper or towels.

You can use packing paper, bubble wrap, foam, styrofoam peanuts, or even towels to cushion the bottom of the box. Then, once everything is packed, fill in the remaining empty spaces.

Towels, Linens, Blankets, and Clothing Blankets, towels, linens, and clothing can all be used as packing materials. Instead of wasting money on cardboard boxes and bubble wrap, you can rent Green Boxes and use your soft items as the packing materials.

Packing Foam ? Packing foam is a great lightweight material which helps combat scratches and abrasion. Foam is a clean, efficient, and cost-effective solution for packaging fragile items; its flexible and lightweight nature makes it ideal for slipping over, around, or in-between delicate, fragile or decorative items.

Blankets: Thick furniture blankets or old blankets you no longer use can be a great alternative for bubble wrap. They can be bulky, though, so they won't work for smaller fragile items. Towels: Use old towels to wrap your delicates without having to spend money.

Do the clothing countdown: If you need a mantra to help streamline your wardrobe, use the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 rule for a weeklong trip: Limit yourself to no more than five sets of socks and underwear, four tops, three bottoms, two pairs of shoes and one hat. The list should be adjusted to suit your needs.
