How to Pack, Packing Do's and Don't's, and Packing Tips

Armstrong provides professional full-service moves. Contact Armstrong if you would like to have a professional moving company pack your belongings, however, if you want to do it yourself, then Armstrong has provided this video tutorial on how to pack to help you have a smooth move. The author, Shae, suggests starting by decluttering your home and then packing your items in respective cartons. The sizes are specific to the weight of the items packed inside. Shae explains what items should go in the 1.5 cubic-foot carton, the 3.0 cubic-carton, the large 4.5 cubic-foot carton, the dish-pack carton, the wardrobe carton, and the picture carton. Packing tape and packing paper are also important materials to use to pack your home.

The hardest part to packing is packing your delicate items. In the last half of the video Shae demonstrates how to pack your breakables and non-combustibles by displaying the proper cushioning within the carton, wrapping multiple plates together, nesting bowls, and individually wrapping oddly shaped glasses, securing liquids, discarding combustibles, labeling boxes correctly, packing irreplaceable items, maintaining consistent weight between boxes, and understanding what not to pack.

Seriously this is a waste lol. Buy heavey duty black hefty bags and double them poke all your hangers thought it tape the hangers together and then put it in another bag. Get bubble wrap from home depot to wrap your tvs and monitors. Go to your local convenience store find out when they throw out their news papers and wrap your glass in news paper for large item wrap the news paper and then use scotch tape to hold it and continue wrapping it. Go to walmart get some cheap boxes,=.

There's no way I would pay almost $2 to finish watching this video, that's crazy!! You can rent $2 MOVIES for that price w/ redbox. What are people paying that money for? Why would this encourage people to use ur business/services when u charge for such a ridiculous thing? That gives people the first impression that this company is strickly after money. U couldn't even make a how-to video w/out charging people (who are already spending a massive amount to move)...
