Safe packaging may include, bubble wrap/foam wraps, packer's tape, bunched up paper and plastic wraps. When packing fragile items in boxes use a lot of paper on the top, bottom and the sides of the box as it will keep it intact.
All electronic items should be securely placed in one box in order to avoid misplacement. Furniture, if possible should be disassembled and then packed, however while doing this one should take care of any hardware or screws involved.
