Prepare a List
Keep a record of even the smallest thing you pack. This is
the something that will make your packing and unpacking a lot easier. Make a
list of everything you put in a box and attach that list on the outside of the
box. This writing down will help you prioritizing the items while you unpack
them. To make the process even easier, assign a number to the list attached to
the box. Those numbers would tell you what to unpack at a particular time or
turn.
Moving With a Lot of
Items
With a lot of supplies to move to the new home, you need
lots of boxes. You can get strong and reliable cheap moving boxes that are made
to bear the harshness involved in any transit. Get many of those and use them
to pack everything you have.
To secure the boxes, use reliable packing tapes with strong adhesiveness.
In case there is even a minor of a chance for the items to get broken during
transit, make sure that there is suitable cushioning inside the boxes. For that
purpose, you can use packing paper, bubble wrap and peanuts. Make sure you are
not running out of the boxes, so get extra. You can always return them if you
find out you are not going to need them.
Get Your Wardrobe
Boxes Utilized
You are definitely going to move your wardrobe boxes to the
new home because it’s too expensive accessory to leave behind. So why not use
these boxes for good? You can secure the items like pillows, bed sheets,
curtains and towels in the wardrobe boxes. These are the lightweight items but
they make a bulk that could be difficult to manage if packed in other moving
boxes.
Remember; never put heavy items in wardrobe boxes because
the boxes would themselves be pretty heavier. Doing this would make them extremely
hard to handle.
Use Colors to
Designate Things
Assign colors to the rooms of your new home and attach those
colors strips with the boxes. For example, if you have assigned blue color to
your bedroom in the new home, attach a strip of blue color with the box that
you are going to unpack in your bedroom. It will allow the moving service
members to put boxes at the areas where they belong.
Start Packing Ahead of
Time
Never delay the packing job for last days. Start packing 2
weeks before moving. It will help you to manage everything without getting
frustrated on time. Surely there are things you cannot pack until the last day.
Those are exceptions. Aside from those items, make sure that you have
everything packed and ready to move.
