J&J Metro sells all your packing needs.
If you choose to do your own packing, here are some helpful hints and packing tips:
*Start early. Packing takes time. Pack carefully. You don't want to be rushed.
- Don't overload boxes --- this can damage contents. Close carton tops securely. Use heavy masking tape or packing tape.
- Mark each carton clearly. Note contents and room designation.
*Clothes - Ask for J&J Metro's special wardrobe cartons. These will save lots of ironing and pressing later. Otherwise, fold and pack clothes in cartons or dresser drawers.
*Lamp Shades --- Wrap each in clean paper.(avoid newsprint which can rub off and soil). Box each separately.
- Dishes and glassware - J&J Metro's dish paks are specially designed to carry your valuable china and bric-a-brac. Line bottoms of dish paks with paper. Place well wrapped, heavy items on the bottom.
- Plates, platters and bowls should be placed on edge. Add more cushioning paper and place fragile, smaller items on top. Then seal.
- Wrap glasses and stemware individually. Place them "bottoms up" and use plenty of protective paper to cushion their move.
*Refrigerators --- Defrost and dry thoroughly inside. Wrap glass trays and containers like any other breakable.
- TV's , Stereo's VCR's --- Unplug and wrap cords.
*Medicines --- Secure all tops, caps and covers with cellophane tape. Pack paper firmly between bottles. Mark carton "Fragile" and "This End Up."
- Jewelry and valuables --- Don't pack them. Keep them with you.
*DO NOT PACK FLAMMABLES, AEROSOLS OR PERISHABLES
