Packing Tips for Moving

Heavy Items

Heavy items should go on the bottom of the box, lighter items on top. Make sure to put heavier items on the bottom of the boxes. Be careful when packing your boxes. Don't overload the boxes.

When you pack up your stuff, try to avoid leaving empty space in the boxes. Packing up your things will be much faster if you don't leave any empty space. Also, try to avoid putting together items from different rooms into the same box. This will make unpacking go much smoother.

Labeling Boxes

Label each box with its destination and a brief description of its contents. This will help you and the movers know where every piece of furniture goes in your new house or if you want to keep things is storage for some time. Keep an inventory list in a notebook.

Movers are experts who know what to do when packing up a house or apartment. They have many different ways to move things safely. Artwork should be wrapped carefully in special wrapping paper. Pictures should be packed in frames, and taped down firmly.

Packing Household Items

Dishes should be packed carefully because if you drop any of them, they could break. You should put packing paper around each dish before wrapping it up into bundles. Then, you should pack dishes on their sides, not flat. You should also use plenty of bunched up paper as padding above and under the dishes. Cups and bowls can also be packed inside one another with paper in between, then wrapped three or four cups in a bundle. Pack these in dish-barrels.

Wardrobe Boxes

When packing for moving, use a wardrobe box to store your clothes. Pack your clothes in layers of paper to protect your belongings. Use cardboard boxes to protect your glasses. Hang your clothes in a wardrobe box. Protect your shoes by wrapping them individually. Put your socks inside your shoes.

Valuable Items

Jewelry should be packed carefully. You can use toilet paper rolls or straws to keep necklaces from tangling. When packing TVs, make sure you wrap them in wood crates. Plasmas need special care when you pack them. Double-box your TV and place it inside another box that you've papered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is It Worthwhile to Pay for Packing Services when Relocating?

Using professional packing services will save you considerable time and effort, but at a cost. Self-packing, on the other hand, can help you save money on your move but may increase the risk of damage to your belongings during the move (and will take plenty of time and hard work)

How Much Does It Cost to Hire Someone to Pack Your Belongings and Relocate You?

The cost of hiring packers is between $25 and $40 per hour for a professional, not including materials. Generally, you'll require at least two professionals. Labor costs range from $100 to $400 for one to two bedrooms and from $480 to $1,440 for three or more bedrooms. Businesses frequently offer discounts on the hourly rate for additional packers.

How Do I Organize My Packing and Moving Efforts?

• Assort similar items.
• Begin by padding each box with newspaper, bubble wrap, or household items such as blankets or towels.
• Each box should be labeled with the room and its contents.
• Prepare a box of essentials.
• Avoid stuffing boxes to the brim.

How Much Does Packing and Moving Furniture Cost?

Nationally, the average cost of packing services is between $60 and $80. Professionals can either provide boxes (for a fee) or use your provided boxes. Often, these packing professionals can also assist with furniture assembly, loading and unloading, furniture relocation, and heavy lifting.
