Prepare the Box

Layering Paper on Bottom

Packing paper provides a protective layer

Prepare a medium-sized box by placing slightly scrunched-up plain newsprint or brown paper in the bottom. Don't scrunch the paper into tight balls, but instead let it balloon on the bottom. This will help with shifting during the move. Styrofoam packing peanuts can also be used, although they can't be recycled.
