Tip Description 1. Start Early and Create a Plan Begin packing weeks ahead. Start with seasonal or rarely used items and work room by room. Set daily goals to stay organized and avoid last-minute stress. 2. Use Quality Boxes and Supplies Choose sturdy boxes, strong tape, bubble wrap, and markers. Avoid weak or reused boxes. Label each box by room and contents to simplify unpacking. 3. Declutter Before You Pack Sort closets and storage spaces to decide what to keep, donate, or discard. Fewer items reduce packing time and costs and keep your new home organized. 4. Pack Room by Room Focus on one area at a time. Place heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Use smaller boxes for heavy items to prevent overpacking. 5. Protect Fragile Items Wrap dishes, glassware, and electronics individually. Fill gaps with towels or clothes to prevent movement. Mark boxes as “FRAGILE” for careful handling. 6. Prepare a First-Night Box Pack essentials like toiletries, chargers, clothes, snacks, and basic kitchen items in one box. This helps you settle in quickly on moving day. 7. Keep Important Documents Separate Store passports, insurance papers, medical records, and contracts in a secure folder that stays with you during the move. 8. Label and Color-Code Use colored stickers or tape for each room—blue for bedroom, yellow for kitchen, etc. This speeds up unloading and helps movers place items correctly. 9. Take Special Care with Valuables Pack jewelry, heirlooms, and sentimental items separately and transport them yourself. Use padded cases or sturdy small boxes for safety.
