5 EASY Packing Tips for Your Next Move
Many people dread moving from one home to another. While it's an exciting time with a fresh start... it can be a bit intimidating to pack up all your belongings and transport them to a new location. Whether you're relocating to the Lake of the Ozarks or simply moving across town, I'd like to help make your move a little easier. Provided below are some helpful packing tips to get your move off to a great start!
While an item may seem stable on its own, if you're second guessing the break-ability of it - it's best to bundle it up. Consider using towels and/or newspapers to protect your breakable items. It's best to bundle an item up and put it in a box, well protected, than to hope for the best! If a box contains a fragile item, be sure to label the box appropriately. This can help let the movers know to be more careful with that particular container.
When packing up a box, it's important to fill all empty spaces. This can help reduce the chance of the box contents from shifting and causing damage to another item. It is also easier to transfer a box that does not have shifting items inside. Make the most of your boxes and help make moving a bit easier for your helpers!
Before you start throwing items in a box to move, think about the box. Are the items you're placing in the box going to make the container too heavy? Do all the items in the container belong in the same space? It's best to think ahead when packing. Try to box up books and other heavy items in smaller boxes to reduce an over loaded box which can be hard to move and even collapse.
To keep your new home organized, try to pack items from the same room in a box. This will provide an organized environment, when it comes time to unpack. It can also help you track down a specific item, if you are in need.
It's important to label the destination of each box. Although you may have a great memory, it's best to be safe and label which room each box belongs to. This can also come in handy when it comes time to unload at your new home. Instead of all the boxes ending up in the main room - you can designate which room the box belongs in. It can help prevent an overwhelming unpacking experience as well!
Now that you're more familiar with these tips for packing, you're ready to get started. Whether you haven't found your dream home at the Lake of the Ozarks yet or you're moving in a few weeks, these tips can come in handy.
