Melissa,

Gary has definitely supplied you with some good ideas.  However, if you
are going to be repacking the boxes you will also need to document the
contents.    What I have done in the past is use two person teams.    They
would alternate positions (to keep from getting bored or tired) but one
would review/repack the box, then dictate to the other the contents.   The
second person had a laptop available with a set "form" to complete.  It
would not only document the contents but any other information that was
written on the outside of the original box (ie: old box number,
description of contents etc).    This additional information was added to
our database as a cross-reference tool.
