How to Pack for a Move
Before you begin packing to move house, you should first consider making a checklist if you want to remain on top of things. As you prepare for the moving day, the following items as recommended by a professional moving service can quickly become essentials when you are packing for a move. Read on to find out more.
Boxes
These are the biggest ticket items that you will need when it comes to packing. Make sure you have a variety of different sizes for items in your home, that will make organizing easier. Also, it will be easier to pack them in the moving truck.
Tape
Purchase a strong adhesive to seal your boxes. Get some bubble wrap to encase any fragile items to make sure your home goods are packed safely. Unfortunately, accidents can happen, so make sure that all your valuables are packed properly.
Utility Knife/Scissors
Utility knives can be used to cut a variety of things. The ability to make a clean cut when taping up boxes and other materials can reduce any frustration when you are packing things. Also, they can be used to cut up packing cloth if you decide to use it too.
Permanent Marker
Labeling your boxes is critical. You don’t want to lose track of what is in each box when it comes to unpacking boxes in each room. Use permanent markers to label boxes so that you can sort them by room, which will easily prioritize unpacking.
Plastic Bags
These can be handy to put in smaller items like silverware, and helpful with storing non-perishable food items. However, you need to consult with your moving company to see if you can transport food.
Handcart
Using a handcart will help you with any lifting heavy, such as items and boxes. Using one will help to lessen the chance of physical injury received from lifting heavy boxes. Unless, of course, your movers will be doing all the heavy lifting for you.
