Learn how to pack books with care in this video. We'll show you a few options to protect your collection, including several ways to stack the books and the best way to prevent wrinkles and tears that could damage the pages.

·         Use smaller boxes to prevent overloading. You can use larger boxes as long as you don't fill them up all the way

·         Because books are significantly heavier than most other household goods, reinforce the box seams with extra tape

·         Line each box with crushed packing paper
