    Proper packing is key to a successful move. Follow these tips from our professional movers to protect your belongings.

    Start Early

    • Begin packing non-essentials 2-3 weeks before your move
    • Pack one room at a time to stay organized
    • Label boxes clearly with contents and destination room

    Use Quality Materials

    • Use sturdy, corrugated boxes (not grocery store boxes)
    • Stock up on packing paper, bubble wrap, and tape
    • Use specialty boxes for dishes, wardrobe, and mirrors

    Pack Smart

    • Heavy items (books) in small boxes, light items in large boxes
    • Fill empty spaces with packing paper to prevent shifting
    • Wrap fragile items individually in packing paper

    Kitchen Tips

    • Pack plates vertically (like records) for better protection
    • Wrap glasses individually and nest them in boxes
    • Don't pack hazardous materials (propane, cleaners)

    Electronics

    • Use original boxes if possible
    • Take photos of cable connections before disconnecting
    • Remove batteries from remotes and small devices
