Office
Books and
Magazines:
Books should be
packed quickly. A 1.5 cu. ft. packing box must be used. Start with
the top shelves of bookcases to prevent toppling. Books should be
packed horizontally. Use newsprint to fill out any empty space
rather than search for the "perfect" book. A packed book box will
weigh an average of about 40 to 50 pounds. If this is too heavy for
you to carry, you may wish to fill boxes only part way with books,
filling the remaining space with newsprint.
Magazines may be
stacked flat or on edge in a 1.5 cu. ft. box. Fill out unused space
with crumpled newsprint paper.
Files -
Lateral and Vertical:
The contents of all
the drawers of a lateral file should be emptied and packed into
moving boxes. The bottom two drawers of a vertical file do not have
to be emptied, but all remaining drawers must be emptied into
boxes. When packing the contents of file drawers, careful
consideration must be made to keep files in numerical and / or
alphabetical sequence.
Record
Albums:
Record albums (vinyl)
should be packed standing up in a 1.5 cubic foot box. Use crumpled
newsprint to complete a box that has some unused
space.
