Need some information on packing? To make moving a lot easier and to help you prepare and plan your day, we have put together some helpful packing tips. For more information on our services call us on 01253 206555.
Here are 10 packing tips to help make your move smoother:
- Start Early: Begin packing non-essential items at least 6-8 weeks before your move date. This will help you avoid last-minute chaos and give you time to sort through your belongings.
Use the Right Supplies: Invest in sturdy boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and tape to ensure your items arrive safely. Label each box clearly with its contents and the room it belongs in.
Purge and Declutter: Use the move as an opportunity to get rid of items you no longer need or use. Donate, sell, or recycle these items to keep your moving costs down.
Pack Room by Room: Pack items from each room separately to make unpacking easier. This will also help you keep track of what’s in each box.
Protect Fragile Items: Wrap fragile items like dishes, glassware, and fine china in bubble wrap or paper to prevent breakage. Consider using dish pack boxes specifically designed for fragile items.

Keep Essentials Separate: Pack a separate box with essentials like toiletries, medications, and a change of clothes. This will make it easy to find what you need on moving day.
Pack Heavy Items at the Bottom: Pack your heaviest items, like books or tools, at the bottom of boxes to prevent them from getting damaged when you move them.
Label Boxes by Color: Use colored labels or stickers to label boxes by room. This will make it easy to see which boxes go where.
Pack Electronics Carefully: Pack electronics like televisions and computers in original boxes or use custom-made boxes to prevent damage. Use bubble wrap to protect cords and other cables.
Take Photos Before You Pack: Take photos of electronics, furniture, and other items before you disassemble them or pack them away. This will help you remember how to reassemble them when you arrive at your new home.
