Have enough of moving and packing supplies handy
You’ll require packing supplies such as labeling stickers, marking pen, scissors, packaging tape, tissue papers or newspapers, wrapping sheets, bubble wrap, cartons, boxes, and more. You need to ensure that you utilize packaging materials of high quality. You can inquire and ask your movers for suggested types of boxes and packing supplies.
Choose the right type and size of strong cartons and boxes
You need to pack bulky objects in smaller cartons. These valuables might be your record albums, canned food, books or other items. We suggest that you employ suggested cartons or boxes to pack items such as mattresses, clocks, mirrors, glass shelves, glass tops, big picture and a lot more.
If you are moving locally, you can move some personal stuff yourself. Those items might be your TV's, clocks, mirrors, glass shelves, glass tops, and big pictures. Basically, those items can be packed for a shorter distance move. Flat screen TV's and glass items must always be packed properly whether it’s moved for long distance or short distance.
Here are the tips on how to pack boxes for a move:
- Pack one room at a time. Make sure that you don’t attempt to pack every room items in a single day. If you do, it is certain that you’ll get lost and tired. It’s also probable that you will be not able to package all your rooms. That’s not good for you, right?
- Tape the bottoms of cartons or boxes appropriately. You need to use several strips of high-quality packaging tape firmly.
- Place bulky objects on the bottom of the box and the lighter objects of the top to avoid any damages.
- Employ a lot of wrapping sheets, bubble wraps, padding materials to avoid damage during transit.
- Put fragile or breakable items carefully in cartons or boxes.
- Fill cartons or boxes appropriately with no void areas for items to shift and damage items.
- Close the carton box and seal it with the use of a heavy duty packaging tape.
- Don’t forget to label every box correctly and properly.
