Packing is the most stressful aspect of planning while moving out. It takes much longer than anticipated to gather the needed moving supplies, the items to be moved, and pack them into boxes. You also have to decide what you want to pack and organize the items accordingly. Moreover, it is necessary to identify the important items that will be needed when moving out. So before you get overwhelmed at the prospect of packing and moving, here’s how you can go about preparing a packing plan.
Start Early
Early packers can finish their packing perfectly. Sometimes, people do not have an idea of the time it takes to pack while moving. A late start either delays the move or hastens the packing process, which means it would not be done to your satisfaction. So start early and pack the necessary items properly.
Pack the Least Used Items First
When you start the packing process, make sure you pack the rarely used items first. These will go at the bottom of the boxes, which can then be unpacked last once you have moved. Once the lesser-used items are packed, you move on to the items that are a frequent part of your daily life. Daily use items can be packed separately in bags that are easily accessible as compared to boxes that will be sealed.
Put the Heavy Stuff at the Bottom
Packing is like an art where you must arrange things in proper order. The heavy stuff should be kept at the bottom while the light items can go on top. This will help protect the items and keep them safe. Fragile items can be wrapped with bubble wrap and kept with heavy clothing to avoid any damage.
Use Labels
Labelling your boxes as per room (for example, kitchen items, bathroom accessories, etc.) can help you to find the items easily once you move. Each label can help you identify the box that holds a particular room’s items so you can track them easily.
Instruct the Movers
Do not simply stack the boxes against the wall one on top of the other as you might end up damaging some of the contents. Instead, instruct the movers to keep the boxes in the centre of the room where you can find the items easily. Also, make them aware of any boxes that hold fragile items, so they can be careful while transporting them.
