Packing for an Efficient Move

Anyone who’s moved before knows what a hassle it can be. However, there are certain steps you can take to ensure a smooth move:
- Pack one room at a time and try to keep similar items together. Mark the room name on the outside of the box.
- Pack boxes firmly to prevent shifting.
- Don’t pack flammable goods or heat-sensitive items.
- Wrap items inpidually and place a layer of crushed paper or bubble wrap in the bottom of the box for cushioning.
- Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter ones on the top.
- Put heavy items in smaller boxes so they’re easier to carry.
- Set aside a box devoted to things you’ll need right away (change of clothes, telephone, toys, toiletries, etc.)
- Use towels and linens to pad boxes filled with fragile items. Mark these boxes “fragile.”
- Drain fluids from power and yard tools so they don’t leak.
- Try not to exceed 50 pounds in each box.
