May is here, and it is a big month for people to move
during. Whether you are moving to a house, a new apartment, or have college
grads moving, moving is a lot of work and often requires a lot of packing
supplies. That’s why we want to offer some of our best tips to make your move
as easy as possible.
·
Pack your heavy items in small boxes and your
lighter items in large ones. It may be tempting to fit as much as you can into
a large box, but you don’t want to make it so heavy that it's impossible to
move.
·
If possible, pack electronics in the original
box. If not, use bubble wrap to protect them.
·
Tape your boxes closed. During a move, boxes may
tip over, someone may drop the box while walking, etc. If the box is taped your
possessions will be safer.
·
Use unprinted newsprint instead of newspaper to
wrap items. Printed newsprint could stain your items.
·
Pack your boxes by room. It will make the entire
experience much more organized.
·
Use wardrobe boxes. These boxes allow you to
hang your clothes on hangers inside the box. It will save a lot of time.
·
Always label your boxes so you know what is
inside them. If you don’t, you’ll be stuck opening each box to find what you
need.
·
Start packing early. It takes much longer than
you would expect it to, so start packing the things you don’t use as far in
advance as possible.
·
Pack a box of essential items such as a change
of clothes, your toothbrush, and other similar items. Have it accessible right
when you move in.
·
Pack your items tightly. Do not leave empty
space in the boxes. Any item can be damaged. Fill this space with towels or
packing paper.
That’s just a few tips for making your next move easier.
