Beds
What you will need:
Tape or rope, Large pads or heavy blankets for headboards and footboards, Mattress covers or old fitted sheets, Plastic bag.
How to pack:
Disassemble the bed frames and mark the pieces so you know where they go later. Tie or tape rails together. Place all screws, bolts and nuts in a resealable plastic bag, label it and tape to the rails. Tie large pads or heavy blankets around headboard and footboards. Cover the box spring and mattress individually with plastic mattress covers to keep them clean and free of dust and dirt during the move. Old fitted sheets can also be used to protect your box spring and mattress.  Place one on the top side of the box spring and two on the mattress so the mattress is covered completely (front, back and all sides).

Bicycles
What you will need:
Bike box and plastic fork protector (optional), Bubble wrap or packing paper, Small wrench and/or pliers, Cardboard, Small blade or utility knife.
How to pack in a bike box:
Ideally a bicycle will take up the least amount of space and travel the safest if you package it properly in a bike box.
A bike box and plastic fork protectors should not cost you any money as most bike shop dealers throw these items
out once the new bicycle has been unpackaged. Remove pedals and front wheel. Insert fork protector onto fork. Wrap frame in bubble wrap or packing paper. Place bike into the box turning handlebars to allow them to fit. Place front wheel into the box in front of and just above the cranks. Seal the box well with tape and label it “Bike”.
How to pack without a bike box:
Loosen, lower and turn handlebars at right angles to save space. Clean and cover chains and pedals to protect other items from being snagged or soiled.

Books
What you will need:
Tape, Small moving boxes.
How to pack:
Never pack more than 30 pounds of books in a box. Alternate bindings every few books to keep stacks level in each box. Fill in small spaces in each box with smaller paperbacks. Tape the box shut and label it “Books”.

Bureaus
What you will need:
Resealable plastic bag, Tape or stretch wrap, Rope, Large furniture pads.
How to pack:
If you leave bureau drawers completely full they may be too heavy to move. Use suitcases to pack some clothing and other non-fragile items from your bureau drawers. Partially empty out drawers and fill spaces with small, fragile items like clocks or picture frames wrapped in loose clothing. Remove legs if possible. Place wing nuts or screws in a resealable plastic bag, label it and tape it to the underside of the furniture piece. Ensure drawers and doors are secured shut. Do not apply tape directly to polished or painted wood finishes. Removing the tape could ruin the surface. We recommend you use stretch wrap to secure bureau drawers or cabinet doors shut so
they do not fly open when they are moved. Tie a large pad securely around the outside of the bureau.
