Packing Tips – Recommendations and advice


Packing tips are free. So, here you go:

Before packing, we recommend you have a yard/garage sale to get rid of unused or unwanted items. This is usually the best way to purge items that are no longer needed. Nowadays technology makes this task very easy. Many people use craigslist.org or OLX.com to post their items for sale, as well as Apps like OfferUp and LetGo.

At the end of the day, donate the things that didn’t sell. The less items you have to move, the easier and less expensive the move will be!

Our professional packers recommend a few things

Packing isn’t as easy as you may think, it takes patience and time.

How to safely protect furniture when moving?

It actually isn’t as hard as it may seem as long as you know how to protect furniture before moving it.

That’s why we train our movers on proper wrapping and protection techniques to safely protect furniture and other household items when moving.

How to protect furniture when moving

 

Tip:

  • Use moving blankets and plastic wrap as needed.

Especially when it comes to delicate wooden furniture, there is no such thing as “too much” protection. It’s always better to be safe than sorry–when you’re wrapping up wooden furniture, do it as thoroughly as possible and cover every square inch of exposed wood. Feel free to wrap it multiple times if you have to.

How to Pack a Wardrobe Box – Packing tips

what is a wardrobe box

Packing a Wardrobe Box – Great way to move clothes hanging in your closet

One of the best packing tips we can give you is to always get all of your household items packed into sturdy cardboard boxes. (Plastic bags won’t really work)

A wardrobe box is the largest standard-sized box that most movers use for packing. Our wardrobe boxes measure 24’’ x 21’’ x 49’’ and come with a 24’’ metal hanging bar.

It is specially designed to safely transport hanging clothes during the course of the move (Hanging closet clothes, such as coats, boutique items, suit jackets, dresses, and any other hanging shirts or pants).

Your clothes will not become wrinkled during the move, because you can leave your clothes on the hanger.

Packing and Moving TVs, Artwork, Pictures & Frames

If you’re packing monitors, moving TVs, photos, large pieces of artwork or other framed prints, you need to know how to prepare them for moving so you don’t end up with broken screens/glass or chipped frames. We will now show you how we do it.

*Packing tip:

When moving large pieces of artwork, it is best to pack each piece in a separate specialty box that is slightly larger than the frame you’re packing. If you can’t find specialty boxes, take apart a used box and flatten it.

Or simply get an 8-pack like this from Amazon to protect all your priceless artwork, mirrors, and TVs:
