Packing different items for international moving requires attention to detail and adherence to international shipping standards in order to maximize safety during the relocation process.
Proper packaging is crucial to protect items from damage. Here are some categorized items and key steps:
Wrap furniture with cotton paper to prevent scratches and absorb moisture.
Use pearl cotton for overall cushioning and shock absorption.
Utilize cardboard for comprehensive protection against wear and impact, preferably 5-layered cardboard for enhanced safeguarding.
Custom-build wooden crates specifically tailored to furniture dimensions using 5-layer plywood, providing effective resistance against rough handling during transportation.
Start by preparing cardboard boxes and sealing the bottom. Line the bottom with a layer of cotton paper and place some desiccants inside.
Fold the clothes and place them in moisture-resistant bags.
Remove the air from the bags containing the clothes, seal the moisture-resistant bags, and pack them into the boxes.
Once the boxes are filled, add another layer of cotton paper on top of the clothes and seal the boxes.
The above is the process for packing clothes. Some people also prefer using vacuum compression bags, but they are not suitable for leather garments, silk clothing, suits, etc., as they can cause significant wrinkles.
Place cotton paper on the packing table and evenly wrap fragile items with it. Cotton paper serves as a common insulating material, providing shock absorption and scratch protection. Once wrapped, it forms a cushioned bundle.
Add an additional layer of pearl cotton around the wrapped fragile items. Pearl cotton is an excellent universal shock-absorbing material, enhancing the protection of fragile items.
Arrange the wrapped fragile items upright in a suitably sized and secure cardboard box.
Use crumpled cotton paper to fill all the gaps between the boxes, ensuring a tight fit, and seal the box.
These are the packing processes for fragile items, which should suffice unless subjected to violent handling.
Television:
Remove the LCD TV stand or wall mount and uniformly cushion the LCD screen with cotton paper.
Apply a layer of cotton paper for added protection and then wrap it with pearl cotton.
Custom-make a 5-layer corrugated cardboard packaging specifically for the television, filling the gaps with cotton paper. Seal the package with tape. To prevent potential damage during transportation, you can also consider custom-building a wooden crate to encase the cardboard box.
Refrigerator:
Before moving, disconnect the power supply to the refrigerator. Open the freezer compartment and remove the contents. Leave the refrigerator door open to allow it to defrost completely. Once done, wipe it dry.
Fill the compartments inside the refrigerator with cotton paper. If the egg tray on top of the refrigerator is removable, take it out and wrap it with cotton paper. Place it back in the compartment. Secure the refrigerator's power cord at the back of the refrigerator.
Wrap the exterior of the refrigerator with pearl cotton and secure it with adhesive tape.
Construct the outer casing of the refrigerator using five-layer cardboard.
