How To Pack A Box of Books

How To Pack A Box of Books

🌟 Sort books by size
🌟 Place largest books flat on the bottom, smaller books on top
🌟 Place books upright only to fill gaps on the sides as needed
🌟 Use crumpled packing paper to fill remaining gaps and ensure a firm top of box.
🌟 Tape securely
🌟 Label the contents

Book boxes are HEAVY…30-40lbs – depending on if they’re paperback or hardcover, and that’s if you use a small book box like the one here. You should only ever place books in a small book box, nothing larger. Why? It’s too heavy! The box can damage other boxes and severely damage your back trying to move it.

Have fun packing! Or call us to do it. We’re pros 😎 (510) 229-7321.
