- For bulkier items like beach towels, snorkel gear, or hiking boots, opt for a sturdy cardboard box.
- Fragile items like sunglasses or portable fans should be wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a box with ample padding to prevent movement.
- Pack Efficiently:
- Use vacuum-sealed bags for clothing to reduce the size and maximize space.
- Secure the box with strong packing tape and ensure all seams are well-sealed.
