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.
