Packing for Your Upcoming Move

We are continuing our discussion providing tips to help you pack for your upcoming move. Our previous article covered some of the supplies you will need, sorting your belongings, decluttering, developing a packing strategy, labeling and organizing boxes, maximizing space in the boxes, and handling fragile items. Today, we will conclude with some final thoughts from our long distance and local movers.

Sealing and Stacking Boxes

Once you’ve packed your boxes, be sure to seal them securely with packing tape. This will help protect your belongings and prevent items from falling out during the move. When stacking boxes, our long distance and local movers place heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes on top. They purposefully stack boxes in a stable and secure manner to prevent any accidents during transport.

Final Tips

As you wrap up your packing, remember to pack a box of essential items for the first day in your new home. This could include toiletries, a change of clothes, and some basic kitchen items. Keep important documents and valuables with you during the move for added peace of mind. Take breaks throughout the packing process and stay organized to ensure a smooth and stress-free move.

Handling Fragile Items

When packing fragile items, take extra care to wrap them in bubble wrap, shrink wrap, or packing paper. Consider packing fragile items in a separate box and clearly label it as fragile.

Labeling your boxes is key to staying organized during the move. Make sure to label each box with its contents and the corresponding room. Consider creating a color-coded system for easy identification.

Are you gearing up for a big move? Packing boxes efficiently can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition. Our next series of articles feature some tips from our long distance and local movers as we walk you through the best practices for packing boxes for your upcoming move. 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.

If you plan to utilize temporary storage during your next move, listen up. Our full service movers and packers have some important tips to share. Our previous articles covered how you should not put items you may need to quickly access into storage, the importance of using quality packing supplies, making sure you wash all linens and clothing you plan to store, and how you should not place perishables in storage. Here are two more tips to help you properly prepare and pack your belongings for storage.

MAKE SURE ITEMS ARE DRY

Our full service movers and packers will tell you to make sure you do not pack any items that are damp or wet. This is especially true if they are going to be placed in storage. Dampness promotes moisture buildup which can cause mold, mildew, and foul odors.

PROTECT FRAGILE ITEMS

Fragile items should be protected whether you are making a door-to-door move or placing the items in storage. Our full service movers and packers suggest using plenty of peanuts, bubble wrap, and acid-free paper when packing items that are fragile. You can also use linens to pad your moving boxes. Make sure the boxes are packed tightly to discourage the contents from rubbing up against one another and/or shifting in transit.

There are times when you may need to engage a moving and storage company to hold your belongings until you are ready to move into your new home. This happens quite often with military moves. Outside of the military, some people hire a moving and storage company when they are faced with having to make an interim move. This can occur when you close on your existing home before you close on your new home. It can also happen when you are in the process of building a new home that is not move-in ready and you have to either stay with a friend or family member or rent a place on a month-to-month basis.

If you are faced with having to hire a moving and storage company to temporarily store your belongings, there are some steps you should take to ensure they are properly prepared and packed for storage. We will explore this in our next series of articles. Let’s get started:

DON’T STORE ITEMS YOU MAY NEED TO ACCESS

If you have specific items that you may need to access before you make your final move, it is recommended that you do not place them in storage. This can include anything from important paperwork and kids’ toys to tools and electronics.  Bottom line, if you think you will need it, do not place it in storage.

USE QUALITY PACKING SUPPLIES

Quality packing supplies make all the difference, especially if you plan to place items in storage. Follow the example of our movers and packers who use dependable supplies such as durable boxes, heavy duty tape, bubble wrap, popcorn, and anything else that may be needed to protect the integrity of the contents being packed.
