You may be thinking about the common thing, but mind you, size, material, and quality of a box are important. Why so? Picking the right size, material, and quality of your box for small moves makes a great effect on the item you want to be shipped or packed. The ideal distance between the box and the item is about 2 inches for extra padding.

Taping and Labeling

Aside from right boxing and placing the goods inside, what's also important is labeling and taping an item. 

Remember to cover all potential openings on either side of the box – and never skimp on tape! For fragile items, you can label them with stickers written with "FRAGILE". This serves as a sign to protect the items with much care and serves as a sign of caution of the item's nature. Make sure to put signs on many sides of the box for the handlers to see it more clearly.
