CARTONS: You will need sturdy cartons with tops. Boxes with tops can be sealed and moved more quickly since they can be stacked. If stairs are involved in your move, the movers can carry several boxes at one time strapped to their backs.

UNPRINTED NEWSPAPER: The paper used for newspaper without ink. This is an excellent all-purpose wrapping and cushioning material. It is especially suited for glass, china, vases, figurines, and other small breakables. You can use old newspapers, but be advised that the ink rubs off and can soil glassware and even become permanently embedded in fine china, ceramic, and other porous material.

TISSUE: Tissue is especially suited for fine glassware, crystal, and other items that scratch easily.

TAPE: "PVC Movers'" tape is best.

MARKING PENS / LABELS: Knowing what you have in each box will make unpacking easier and more efficient. Mark each box indicating contents, room destination, "fragile," "open first," etc. Many people find colored labels and colored marking pens useful when using a different color for each room. Always mark or label cartons on their sides as well as their tops so that the labeling will be visible when the cartons are stacked.
