1. Sort your books

Before you start packing, it is important to sort your books. Differentiate which books you want to take, give away or sell. By doing this in advance, you will minimize the weight of your moving box and save valuable space during the move.

2. Use special moving boxes

Books are heavy and compact, which is why special book boxes are essential for a smooth move. Consider, for example, the Smart Cart. This unique plastic container designed specifically for moving books or archives. In addition, plastic boxes like the Clever Move Box are perfect for keeping your book collection safe.

3. Pack your books efficiently

When packing your books, there are two effective methods: upright or flat. Place your books upright in the box with the front facing the sides, just as they are in your bookcase. If you choose to pack your books flat, be sure to place the heavier books at the bottom and the lighter ones on top to maintain balance.

4. Maintain the organization of your books

Maintain your organized system during packing by labeling the contents of each moving box. You can do this by marking the Clever Move Box directly with our handy labels. This way, you know exactly which books are in each box and can easily find them after the move.

5. Do not overload

Remember that overfilled moving boxes can be a burden to lift and can lead to injury. Keep you recommended lifting weight in mind and only fill boxes three-quarters or half full of books. Of course, you want to fit as many books into a box as possible. To avoid accidents, a Furniture Dog is perfect for this. You easily place the Clever Move Box on the Furniture Dog to then move the boxes. Less lifting, more moving!

To prevent damage to your books during transport, fill any empty spaces with suitable padding materials such as towels, newspaper or bubble wrap. This will keep your books firmly in place and protect them from scratches and damage.
