Discard Few
First step before you start packing your books is to discard those books that you would not require any more. It is the perfect time to do this. It is quite difficult to decide which ones to discard but you could go through your bookshelf again and again and pull out at least a few of them. You can donate them or sell them as per your choice.
Pack in Cardboard Boxes
Cardboard boxes in various sizes are available at Globe Packaging. They are available in all sizes ranging from small, medium and large, as per your requirement. For lighter books go for small size box with single wall but for hardcovers opt for large size box with double wall cardboard boxes for protection. Don’t fill the box over 80 percent, and fill the rest with bubble wrap to keep your books safe.
Pack Genre-Wise and Label
It’s always a smart move to pack all books shelved together in the same box. It means that books of same genre will go in a box. And label it as per the genre. This will help you save time while unpacking and rearranging the books in the new house. You can even take pictures in case you don’t want to get confused at the unpacking stage.
