Tips Bungkus Buku

• Gather supplies and place them close to your working area for easy retrieval.
• Select a new box or a strong, solid used box for storage.
• On one end of the box, fold the smaller flaps in first. Then fold the larger flaps.
• Squeeze the sides of the box toward each other until the larger flaps touch tightly and tape the seam with the packing tape. The tape should begin approximately 5 inches on the side, continue across the bottom and should end with approximately 5 inches on the other side. This will create a tight seal.
  
• Repeat this taping process again on each flap in the middle of each side of the taped seam. This will help to support the weight of the books.
  
• Flip the box over so that the open end is facing the ceiling.
• Next, arrange your books in the following 2 groups. Each group will need their own box. (a) hardbacked and heavy books (by height) (b) Softbacked and light weight books (by height).
• For each box, grouped as previously stated, put the books into the box until you cannot fit any more books in it. The box should be packed tightly.
• If the middle of the box is somewhat empty, you may fill that area tightly with additional books or with bubble wrap.
• Put a silica gel packet in the box.
  
• Fill the area over the books with bubble wrap to prevent shifting.
• Close the top of the box according to steps 4 and 5.
• Write a note on the outside of the box with either its general contents or the room in which the box needs to be placed.
