Moving - Packing Materials And Packing Tips

 

It pays off in the long-term to invest in the best packing materials. You can rent boxes, packing tape and bubble wrap from truck rental companies or moving companies. Add crumpled paper, blankets, and pillows to your packing supplies. Clothing can act as a buffer between broken objects. Pack with a plan.



Packing Tips:

  • You should have the following supplies for packing: bubble wrap, paper, markers, bubble wrap, newspapers, tape, scissors, and a tape-measure.
  • Limit them to 50 lb or less. Place heavier items in smaller boxes, and lighter items inside large boxes.
  • Non-breakables should be packed tightly in smaller boxes to ensure they aren't too heavy.
  • Wrap items in clean newspapers and use bubble wrap as padding
  • Use lots of bubble wrap to parcel tape breakables in large plastic storage bins.
  • You can rent furniture pads.
  • You can mark your boxes by room to make sure you know where everything is. You can use color coding, or a numbering system such as blue stickers to mark your son's bedroom and the number 1 for kitchen supplies.
  • Wrap fragile items with towels or blankets.
  • Write "FRAGILE!" on any breakables, and stack them on top.
  • Buy boxes that are specifically made for specific household items like wardrobe boxes.
  • Audio-video equipment should be packed in its original box. Tighten the transit screws and label cables. Tape the removed screws to the object they were taken from.
  • Books should be packed tightly in small boxes. Sprinkle talcum powder on the pages to make them smell fresh. Wrap the book in plastic before packing. The books can be kept for up to two months to get rid of the musty odor.
  • Before you move, clean your rugs and draperies and wrap them up.
  • Make sure to keep medicines and other medications safe.
  • All valuables should be kept with you
  • You should check with your local U.S. Department of Agriculture to find out the regulations for moving plants between states. Some states have restrictions to stop pests or bugs that could cause damage to cash crops.

 

A good packing technique and the right materials will make it easier to pack for a move.
