Start Early

Our number one packing tip is to start early. Packing always takes longer than expected, and many families are left scrambling on moving day to get everything packed. Start with items you seldom use or only need seasonally, and go from there. 

Pack Strategically & Label Everything

Pack room by room and label every box by room and its contents to make unpacking easier. You’ll thank yourself when you need something specific and can easily find it because of your labeling!

Declutter

Moving is an excellent opportunity to declutter. When packing up your home, consider whether each item has a place in your new house or if it is something you could donate or throw out. Unique Movers can even haul away your unwanted items!

Protect Fragile Items

Pack fragile items with bubble wrap, towels, and linens, and clearly label boxes with breakables to help protect them during the move. Being able to identify these boxes is vital during the moving process. 

Keep Essentials Separate

Pack an essentials box with items you might need at a moment’s notice and keep it readily accessible. This way, you can access it immediately after or during the move instead of digging through the moving truck.

Use the Right Techniques

It’s essential to use proper packing techniques to avoid damage to your items in the move. Avoid overpacking boxes and making them too heavy. Remember to put heavier items towards the bottom of boxes and fill empty spaces in boxes to avoid shifting.
