Plan Your Packing Ahead With Packers and Movers
Plan Your Packing in Advance
Moving to a new home can be a frustrating situation, particularly when
it comes to packing all of your belongings. However, if you give yourself a
little bit of advance planning and organization, or even engage a team of
professional Packers and Movers, the packing process can be quick and painless.
Below are practical packing suggestions to help you prepare for your move.
Make A List of Everything To Be Packed
Before you begin, make a list of everything that you need to pack in
advance. Therefore, you will be able to:
- Keep
track of everything that you need to pack.
- Make
sure you do not forget any important items.
- Consider
how much time you may need to schedule for packing each item or category.
Sort Your Stuff
Sorting is an important first step. Sort your belongings into three
categories:
- To
Keep
- To
Donate or Sell
- To
Throw Away
Decluttering will decrease the amount of boxes you have to pack moves,
cuts down on your moving costs, and ensures you only move the important and
necessary items that you will use.
Packing Early
Start packing at least 3 to 4 weeks ahead of your move. Start with the
things that you don't use that often like:
- Your
seasonal clothing
- Extra
linens
- Books
- Kitchen
appliances that you use occasionally
The earlier you start packing, the less you will have to deal with the
last minute chaos and the more time you will have to properly pack.
Get Good Packing Supplies
Before you start packing, make sure you will have enough packing
supplies. You will need:
- Strong
cardboard boxes (in all kinds of sizes)
- Bubble
wrap or packing paper
- Strong
packing tape
- Permanent
markers
- You
can also use towels or bedsheets to help wrap fragile items for better
packing support.
Clearly Mark The Boxes
Make sure you label each box with:
- Contents
- Destination
room
- Special
handling instructions if necessary (e.g. fragile, this side up)
You may want to consider color-coding the labels by room. It will make
unpacking easier and less chaotic.
Pack Fragile Items Carefully
For fragile items like glassware, electronics, mirrors, and ceramics,
- Wrap
each item separately with bubble wrap or newspaper.
- It
is most helpful if secured snugly in boxes so that there is no movement.
- Make
sure you label these boxes as "Fragile" and pack them on top in
case there were to be a stack issues during transport.
Prepare a First-Day Essentials Box
Prepare a box of your first-day essentials, which may include:
- Toiletries
- Charging
cables
- Medications
- Snacks
or basic kitchen supplies
- A
new outfit
This will help you settle in comfortably without having to dig through
all your boxes on the first day!
