When you're packing to move, consider the size of the boxes you are using because of how much weight will be in them. I was suffering through this today. For example, all of the pots, pans, and casserole dishes ended up in the same box. I had to drag that one across the floor to get it to the garage. Three smaller boxes would have managed all that weight much better.

Big boxes are harder to fit into vehicles too. Putting a large box into the backseat of a car: you wrestle with a heavy weight where is it nearly impossible to maintain a safe lifting mechanic. A herniated disk is not an equal trade for the convenience of a single large box.

So pack small (or medium), and lift safely.
