I have moved a few times in the past and I used all my linen and even clothes for packing. I did also use scraps of wrapping paper/tissue paper. So go ahead and reuse. Great for those delicate dishware and glass/stemware. Washcloths, towels (kitchen and bath) are great for packing. If you have your flatware in the removable trays just put some wash/dishcloths rolled up and into each section. then duct tape over that to keep them secure. I used to put my sharp knives inside of paper towel rolls or you can roll them up in kitchen towels. Cardboard is great for protecting those lids with glass. If you have a large enough piece of cardboard and can fold it in half and cut an x in the middle for a top knob on the lid. Then tape the sides. I keep duct tape, a large utility knife, and industrial size permanent marking pen. I mark on the box the room the box goes into. Any computer or tech equipment just goes into "The Office" box. Same thing goes for pens, paper, etc. "The Office box" That way you know where you will be able to find something to write with if need be. I use my clothes hampers and laundry baskets for packing also and still mark them. Cheap plastic sandwich bags that zip shut are great for packing. Just open for air zip shut and you have bubble. Just make sure they are sealed well shut. I've helped others and recently a friend who moved to another city. There are a lot of people who take everything out of their drawers and pack. What is in my drawers stays there. When transporting chests of drawers we take the drawers out, move the chest and put the drawers back in. So much easier and you don't need more boxes. Of course that's for the clothes you won't be wearing. But still much easier and if it goes into the bedroom, you can add to the drawers such as family photos in between the garments. Just do with what you've got, you'll be surprised how much money you can save. If you're not using clear containers mark on the solid color ones with industrial marker or mark on tape and put on at least the top and couple sides of the container.
