Packing Strategies

There are plenty of strategies involved in loading items into boxes. When loading breakable items, make sure they are placed on top of the box. The box itself should be kept light. It should have plenty of cushioning to keep items from shifting during the move.

Remember to load in heavy items first, the lighter ones on top to keep the items from crushing. Never overload boxes. You can ensure this by using small to medium sized boxes only or simply keeping the amount of light and heavy items balanced inside each container.

The Essence of Labeling

Once the items are neatly packed in boxes, make sure they are labeled accurately. The labels should indicate where each box should go (bedroom, kitchen etc.) Also indicate if something inside the box is fragile. This way, your movers would know which boxes need careful handling.
