Tips for Packing Like a Pro
-
Develop a master “to do” list so you won’t forget something critical.
-
Sort and get rid of things you no longer want or need. Have a garage sale, donate to a charity, or recycle.
-
Don’t throw out everything. If your inclination is to just toss it, ask yourself how frequently you use an item and how you’d feel if you no longer had it.
-
Pack like items together. Put toys with toys, kitchen utensils with kitchen utensils.
-
Decide what if anything you plan to move yourself. Precious items such as family photos, valuable breakables, or must-haves during the move should probably stay with you.
-
Use the right box for the item. Loose items encourage breakage.
-
Put heavy items in small boxes so they’re easier to lift. Keep weight under 50 lbs. if possible.
-
Don’t over-pack boxes and increase the chances they will break.
-
Wrap every fragile item separately and pad bottom and sides of boxes.
-
Label every box on all sides. You never know how they’ll be stacked and you don’t want to have to move other boxes aside to find out what’s there.
-
Use color-coded labels to indicate which room each item should go in. Color-code a floor plan for your new house to help movers.
-
Keep your moving documents together, including phone numbers, driver’s name and van number. Also keep your address book handy.
-
Back up your computer files before moving your computer.
-
Inspect each box and all furniture for damage as soon as it arrives.
-
Remember, most movers won’t take plants.
