Label Your Boxes
Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This helps with organization and makes unpacking easier.
Follow Packing Instructions for Fragile Items
For delicate items like glassware, always follow packing instructions, using proper materials like bubble wrap or foam for protection.
Use Extended Instructions for Heavy Items
For large or heavy items, follow extended instructions on how to properly disassemble them. This ensures safe transport and avoids damage.
Label Fragile Items as "Fragile"
Clearly mark fragile items as "Fragile" and provide additional instructions on how they should be handled during the move to prevent accidents.
Create an Inventory List
Before you start packing, make a detailed inventory list of all items. This will help you track your belongings and ensure everything arrives safely.
Use Sturdy Boxes
Choose strong, high-quality boxes that can handle the weight of your items and prevent crushing during transport.
Wrap Fragile Items Carefully
Wrap delicate items like glassware and electronics in bubble wrap or packing paper to provide extra protection from bumps and drops.
Pack Heavy Items in Small Boxes
Place heavier items, like books and tools, in smaller boxes to make them easier to carry and avoid overloading larger boxes.
Fill Empty Spaces
Use packing peanuts, crumpled paper, or clothing to fill empty spaces in boxes, preventing items from shifting during transit.
Seal Boxes Securely
Use strong packing tape to seal all boxes, ensuring they stay closed during the move and protect your belongings from dirt and moisture.
