Cartons can be resealed with tape as you use them. Everything you pack does not have to be unpacked the first day in your new home. Then, unpack in A, B, C order. You will need plenty of wrapping paper and heavy- duty tape. Anything wrapped in newsprint will most likely be soiled from the ink and will require cleaning after unpacking.
Movers use unprinted newsprint.
For items you prefer to keep clean, you can purchase this packing paper from your mover. Kraft paper, tissue paper and shock- resistant corrugated paper make excellent wrapping materials and may be purchased at most major department stores, craft stores or your mover. These papers also make excellent cushioning and lining material. Felt pens are ideal for marking boxes with information such as its contents, destination room, fragile or this side up. As you're packing, place removable, colored, circle stickers on your boxes to easily distinguish kitchen items, from bedroom items, from bathroom items, etc.
