Packing in boxes, wrapping items, and using the right packing materials will protect belongings from damage and is highly recommended. Electronics and similar delicate items should ideally be packed in their original packaging if you saved it.
Some suggested materials for preparing your move are:
The best way to simplify the packing process is to begin packing well before moving day. Create a packing timeline that starts with rooms and belongings you don’t often reach for, such as sheets, off-season clothing, or decorations. This steady preparation allows progress without interrupting your daily routine.
As you pack, give fragile items the protection they need with plenty of paper, other padding, or even towels and pillows to fill empty spaces. When larger items like furniture come apart, place screws and small items in plastic bags or trash bags, then tape them securely to the piece.
Seal every box tightly on both the top and bottom with tape. Keep heavy items in smaller boxes so they can be carried efficiently and don’t crush lighter belongings. Reserve larger boxes for kitchen items, hanging clothes, or other items that need more space but aren’t too heavy. Try not to exceed 50 pounds per box.
When labeling, mark boxes with their correct rooms so movers know where to place them in your new home. Consider grouping essentials—like your coffee maker, toiletries, and toilet paper—into one box so they’re handy right away. Keeping suitcases packed with necessary items such as toiletries, equipment, or important documents can also help you avoid a last minute scramble.
