From sorting and decluttering to maximizing space and handling fragile items, we’ve got you covered every step of the way. Let’s get started!

Gather Supplies

Before you begin packing, make sure you have all the necessary supplies on-hand and ready. You’ll need boxes in various sizes, packing tape, bubble wrap or packing paper, and markers for labeling. Having the right tools at your disposal will help streamline the packing process and keep your items safe during the move. Among the items to gather include sturdy boxes, packing tape, markers, bubble wrap, packing paper, and any specialty items you may need such as mattress bags, shrink wrap, bungee cords, and storage containers.

Sorting and Decluttering

One of the first steps in packing is to declutter your belongings. Take the time to sort items into categories – keep, donate, and toss. This will not only help lighten your load but also make packing and unpacking much easier. Remember, the less you have to move, the smoother – and less expensive – the process will be.
