Packing tips and tricks for a smooth move

Start Early and Plan
  1. Begin Early: Start packing several weeks before your move. Begin with items you use less frequently.
  2. Create a Packing Schedule: Organize your packing by room and set goals for each day to stay on track.

Organizing and labeling
  1. Declutter: Moving is a great opportunity to declutter. Donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need.
  2. Label Boxes: Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. Consider color-coding for added efficiency.

Packing materials
  1. Use the Right Boxes: Use small boxes for heavy items like books and larger boxes for lighter items.
  2. Protect Fragile Items: Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper. Use towels or linens for extra padding.
  3. Seal Boxes Properly: Use quality packing tape to secure the bottoms and tops of boxes.

On Moving day
  1. Essential Box: Pack an essentials box with items you'll need immediately in your new home, like snacks, chargers, and basic tools.
  2. Last-Minute Items: Pack bedding and toiletries last, as you'll need them until moving day.
