Wrapping Paper:  You are going to need plenty of wrapping paper.  Many people save and use their old newspapers.  Keep in mind, however, that the ink on newspapers never thoroughly dries.  Consequently, the goods you wrap in newspapers are most likely going to be soiled and will require cleaning after unpacking, and before you put them away.  For items you prefer to keep clean it would be best to purchase some packing paper from your mover.

Cartons:  You’ll need many boxes in assorted sizes.  All boxes should be in good condition, and must have covers on them in order that they can be closed-up and sealed.  You can purchase cartons from your mover or collect them from previous purchases.  To purchase cartons from Boyer-Rosene please call (847)596-6700 or visit us at www.boyer-rosene.com

Sealing Tape:  The best tape for this purpose is plastic tape.  Your rolls of tape should be at least 1 ½ to 2 inches wide.

Magic Marker:  This is for marking your packed boxes with such information as the contents of the box, “FRAGILE” “THIS SIDE UP”, etc.
