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
