Planning to move soon? Whether you’re shifting within the city or relocating across states, moving can be an overwhelming experience. At G & S Packers and Movers, we’ve helped hundreds of families and businesses transition smoothly to their new spaces. Today, we’re sharing our top 10 expert packing tips to make your move easier, faster, and stress-free.
1. Start Early and Plan Ahead
The key to a successful move is preparation. Start sorting your belongings at least 2–3 weeks in advance. To keep on schedule, make a checklist for every room and assign due dates.
2. Declutter Before You Pack
Decluttering is a great opportunity when you move. Things you no longer need can be donated, sold, or thrown away. A quicker move and fewer boxes result from less clutter.
3. Use Quality Packing Materials
Purchase strong tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, and robust boxes. Don’t compromise on materials—using poor-quality packing supplies can lead to damaged items.
4. Label Everything Clearly
Indicate the contents of each box as well as the room to which it belongs. This makes unpacking much easier and helps movers place boxes in the correct areas.
5. Pack an Essentials Box
Assemble a box with necessities such as a change of clothes, chargers, snacks, prescriptions, toiletries, and crucial documents. Bring this with you when you relocate.
6. Use Small Boxes for Heavy Items
Books, dishes, and similar items should go in small boxes to prevent them from becoming too heavy to lift safely.
7. Wrap Fragile Items Carefully
Use bubble wrap or soft cloth to cushion fragile items like glassware, electronics, and decor. Clearly mark these boxes as “FRAGILE.”
8. Don’t Leave Empty Spaces in Boxes
To stop objects from moving while in transportation, fill in the spaces in boxes with packing paper, clothing, or towels.
9. Take Photos of Electronics Before Disassembly
Before unplugging your TV or computer setup, take pictures of the wiring. This makes reassembly quick and easy.
