I am an English literature postgraduate and I had a lot of books back in the day. I was studying at Delhi University and living in hostels. Unfortunately, I had to move quite a bit during my college days because of some issues. So packing books was one of the main concerns for me. I couldn’t let go off my books (I have a personal library in my study now so you can imagine). On the first occasion, I called my mom and asked her how to pack books for moving. She suggested that I should first divide them in batches. I had to make different piles - needed for studies, needed for leisure and needed for my collection. Once I did that she suggested I should courier the third lot back home. Anyway, this is what I did next:

I have a lot of paperback books and hardcover books. I didn’t treat my books differently when it came to packing. Each pile was packed as if it was gonna get couriered. My mother suggested when I asked her how to pack books for courier, that I get a sturdy box made of hard cardboard. 

  • After taking a hard cardboard box, place bubble wrap sheet carefully on all the sides and bottom of the box

  • The bubble wrap will help prevent damage in case moisture enters the box

  • Next, place the books carefully in a pile. 

  • Once you are done, place a bubble wrap sheet on the top

  • Now carefully seal the box with brown tape 

  • Note that there should be no point of tear or else the whole box will be damaged along with the books

After following these instructions, I sent one box home via courier. While the other 3 boxes (yes, there were 4 big boxes) were transported with other goods to my rental house. This is all I had for you on how to pack books for moving. You will have to dedicate time, effort and attention so that you goods don’t get damaged.
