Important Packing Tips for a More Efficient Move
If planned out properly, a moving day doesn’t have to be stressful! The most important part of any moving project is hiring the right movers and making sure that all your packing is done on time and properly. Your chosen experts might offer both professional packing and moving services, but here are a few tips to handle the packing efficiently on your own!
Get the Proper Packing Materials
Do a walkthrough of your property and take a close look at all the items and belongings that you will want to take with you. Based on their size and amount, calculate the number and size of the boxes you will need to pack everything up. In addition, be sure to get the tape to close the boxes with, and safety materials such as bubble wrap, packing foam, or wrapping paper.
Start Packing on Time
Packing can take a long time, especially if you have many fragile items that will require individual wrapping and careful handling. That’s why it’s good to give yourself plenty of time before the scheduled move to pack everything up. Star packing by putting the heavier items on the bottom of the boxes, and the lighter items on top.
Organize Items By Room
You will likely be unpacking room by room, so it’s best to label your boxes the same way. It can also be quite helpful to leave markings of which side is to remain up during transportation for additional safety and to mark the boxes with fragile items that shouldn’t be stacked upon.
Keep Important Belongings With You
Of course, it will be necessary to have your chosen movers transport the bulk of your items. However, for safety reasons and your own peace of mind, be sure to keep the most important items with you. If there is room in your personal vehicle for a couple of boxes, you can bring a change of clothes, your personal documents, your money, phone, keys, jewelry boxes, and similar items that you wouldn’t want to be misplaced.
