If you’re getting ready to pack up your belongings for a move, it’s important to take the time to pack your boxes carefully and store them properly.

When it comes to packing items in cardboard boxes, the usual approach is to assemble the box, load it up with your belongings, and tape it shut. After that, it’s just a matter of crossing your fingers and hoping that the box can handle the weight of whatever you’ve packed inside. Simply dumping your stuff in a box and moving on won’t cut it!
