Well, packing is quite important because you need to bring your things to your new home. However, it takes more than just putting everything into the box. It would be useless to bring your things if you would just end up breaking them. So, it's really your main concern to pack all items properly to avoid damage.
 
Of course, if you want to pack your things the right way you would have to use the most appropriate packing materials. For one, you would need sturdy moving boxes to keep them safe. Various special boxes are also available for fragile items and for those that have irregular shapes and sizes. For instance, there are special boxes for TVs, for DVD players and even for wine bottles too. You can also get special moving boxes for your documents.
 
In packing these items you would also need lot of bubble wraps to provide cushion to each of them. You will also need some packing papers for the same purpose. You can use crumpled packing papers to fill spaces in boxes, for instance. The same packing papers can also be used to pack plates individually before boxing them.  Edge protectors are also needed to protect furniture against scratches.
 
With the right packing materials, you can somehow ensure the safety of your things. Just don't forget to seal the bottom and the top of the boxes using packing tapes. Don't forget to label the boxes too so you will know their contents and where each box should go. This will even make unpacking easier for you later on.
