Packing Paper- Wrap Plates, Cups, China and Pots: Paper without print on it is one of the easiest moving supplies to use to wrap fragile items, yet most people have not used it. Professionals use it heavily as it is a very rapid and effective way to protect individual items from being damaged.
TIP: Be sure to use packing paper in the kitchen to wrap your valuable dishes, china, frying pans, broiler pans, and small appliances. You can also use it to wrap almost anything that you want to prevent from getting scraped or broken. When you have several items in a box that are wrapped with thick paper, it is almost as if each item is floating. It reduces how heavy it is and helps you load up a box to the top.

Black Markers- Label Your Boxes To Stay Organized
Be sure to indicate which room each box should be placed in and what is inside of the box. This will save you HOURS of time unpacking and help you stay organized.A good black marker can help you visually see where each box should be placed in your new home. Movers prefer that you place the label on the top of the box and on the side of the box. The reason for this is if you have 6 boxes stacked on top of each other, you will only see the messaging on the side. This is why this is important to do. Use your black marker to label our boxes
