First of all, dust off your books before you start packing them. To do this, it is preferred to use a soft brush. Plus, if your books already have reinforced protections, such as corner guards or book covers, they will be protected even more. On the other hand, if you think that covering each book separately, before the move, is a good idea stop right away! This task will take up too much of your time, especially if you are a collector of hundreds of books. A more practical solution is to place them directly in the cardboard boxes!

We recommend that you categorize them according to their sizes and group them together if you want to reposition your books identically when reassembling your library. You can then label and number the boxes by category. Then, you can cover them in newspaper or bubble wrap or enclose them in plastic bags. However, be aware that there are all kinds of boxes for each type of goods to be moved. Among them, book boxes are specially designed to effectively protect your books and they have the advantage of being light.
