7 tips for packing your belongings properly!
- Get the right materials.
Choose good-quality, sturdy boxes. Prepare adhesive tape, wrapping paper, bubble wrap, a marker, colored labels, and scissors. - Organize your work.
Since some items will stay packed longer, start with objects you use the least. Clearly mark the contents on each box, and ideally use a different colored label for each room in the house. - Think about transport.
Pack heavy items in small boxes and lighter items in larger boxes. - Handle with care!
Fragile items (glasses, dishes, etc.) must be wrapped individually in bubble wrap so that they don’t touch during transport. To prevent movement inside the box, fill gaps with wrapping paper. - Clothes go in suitcases!
Kill two birds with one stone by packing your clothes in your suitcases, since you’ll be moving both anyway! For hanging clothes, special wardrobe boxes are available from your mover. - Disassemble your furniture smartly!
When taking apart furniture, keep screws and accessories in labeled envelopes or separate bags for each piece… otherwise reassembly will be a nightmare. Store all these envelopes in a single box. - Bring out the blankets!
For larger items that don’t fit in boxes, wrap them in blankets… they will protect against bumps during transport.
Now you’re ready to load everything into the truck and easily find your belongings in your new home!
