Generally speaking, the risk of breaking or damaging your things is greater the farther your travel is. That is why more care and attention should be given when you pack fragile and delicate items. Your choice of boxes is crucial. For instance, DVD players and other appliances should be packed in their original boxes. But if for some reason they are no longer available you can get electronic boxes. These are thin and narrow boxes so they are more appropriate for the DVD players. If you need to box your laptop, laptop boxes are also available in the market. Not only do they feature appropriate thinness for the laptops but they also have cardboard inserts for the cables.
 
On the other hand, if you have long objects such as golf clubs, telescopes and lamps lamp boxes are also made for them. If you are transporting your collection of vintage wines, wine bottle boxes would be most ideal. The boxes are equipped with Styrofoam inserts so your wine bottles will absolutely fit snugly making it safer for transportation. If you have posters, photos and sketches you could roll them up and use poster tubes too. This way your posters won't easily get crumpled during transit.
 
Many more special moving boxes are available in the market. If you really are concerned about saving your things from damage you should invest on special boxes.
