1. Start small — but start early
The best packing jobs begin 2–3 weeks before moving day. Don’t wait until the last moment. Begin with the things you rarely use, such as:
Work one room or one category per day. It helps reduce stress and keeps everything organized.
2. Choose the right materials
The quality of your packing depends on the quality of your supplies. Invest in the right materials — they’ll protect your belongings and save you time later.
⚠️ Avoid trash bags. They tear easily, don’t protect items, and can’t be stacked safely in a truck.
3. Pack smart
Each box should weigh no more than 45–50 lbs (20–22 kg) and close easily. Distribute weight evenly to make lifting safe and efficient.
Proper packing prevents breakage and keeps your items safe during the trip.
4. Label everything — and label it correctly
Clear labeling saves hours when unpacking. Each box should include:
✅ Destination room (“Kitchen,” “Bedroom,” “Office”)
✅ Contents (“Plates,” “Books,” “Winter clothes”)
✅ Notes like “Fragile,” “Open First,” or “This Side Up”
This helps movers place boxes in the right rooms and reduces confusion on moving day.
5. Pack a “First-Day Box”
This is your survival kit for the first 24 hours in your new home. Keep it with you instead of loading it onto the truck.
With this box, you’ll have everything you need before unpacking.
