Packing Tips for a Smooth Move
Congratulations on choosing your new home and selecting a moving company! Now comes the crucial step: packing. To ensure a stress-free experience, keep these three essential tips in mind:
1. Gather All Packing Materials: Stock up on boxes, tape, and packing paper.
2. Start Early: Avoid last-minute packing chaos.
3. Stay Organized: Keep your packing systematic.
Essential Packing Materials:
- Packing Paper: Avoid using newspapers as the ink can transfer to your belongings. Opt for packing paper from your mover to keep items clean.
- Boxes: Collect sturdy boxes from local supermarkets. Liquor boxes are ideal for glasses and stemware. Movers also offer specialized boxes for items like clothes, mattresses, and large mirrors. While these are pricier, they are worth it for specific needs.
- Sealing Tape: Use 1-2 inch wide plastic tape for secure sealing.
- Markers: Clearly label boxes with contents and handling instructions like "Fragile" or "This Side Up."
Packing Strategy
Start packing well in advance to avoid unnecessary stress. Packing a few boxes each day will help you manage your workload effectively. Focus on one room at a time to simplify unpacking.
- Begin in Less-Frequented Areas: Tackle rooms such as the attic or garage first, keeping an extra box handy for last-minute items.
Kitchen Packing Tips
The kitchen can be tricky to pack, so follow these guidelines:
- Fragile Items: Line the bottom of each box with paper and place heavier items at the bottom. Wrap each dish individually, then bundle in groups of three and rewrap. Stand them on end in the box.
- Glasses and Cups: Nest them with paper between each. Use divided containers if available, or fill leftover spaces in other boxes, ensuring they are placed toward the top.
- Stemware: Wrap goblets individually.
- Small Appliances: Keep appliances like toasters and crock pots together, wrapping them in paper and filling gaps with wadded paper.
- Pots, Pans, and Bowls: Nest these items with paper between them.
- Boxed Foods: Seal tops with tape to avoid spills. If storing for long periods, consider discarding to prevent pests.
- Canisters: Wrap each and tape the tops.
Additional Tips
- Avoid Hazardous Materials: Do not pack flammable items such as aerosol sprays, gasoline, or paint thinners.
- Empty Drawers: Completely clear drawers before moving.
- Heavy Items: Pack books and canned goods in small boxes to manage weight.
- Bulky, Lightweight Items: Use large boxes for toys, blankets, and pillows.
- No Need to Wrap: Skip wrapping on items like toys and shoes.
- Vertical Storage: Stand books and records on end.
Packing doesn’t have to be overwhelming! If you prefer, moving companies offer packing services at an additional cost.
Happy Moving!
