Packing Tips for Moving Boxes

How to professionally pack your moving boxes

1.Find items of similar size and weight and group them together. When packing try to stay organized and not mix items from different rooms into the same moving boxes. Start by filling your empty moving boxes with enough crumbled up ink less packing paper or bubble wrap to cover the bottom of the box. Then, wrap the heaviest items first with packing paper or bubble wrap and place them in the box.

2. Next, wrap any additional lighter items you may have with packing paper or bubble wrap. Then separate them from the other items that are at the bottom of the box using bubble wrap or crumbled up packing paper.

3. Before you close the box, make sure there are no unfilled spaces. These unfilled spaces can cause shifting around and damage to you items. To prevent this try stuffing crumpled packing paper into any empty spaces. Remember boxes that are under packed can collapse in transit if their are heavier boxes stacked on top of it. While over packing your moving boxes can cause a rupture in the cardboard and damage the content within.

4. Lastly close the moving boxes flaps shut and seal it in place using sturdy packing tape or duct tape. Using a tape gun will make sealing your cardboard boxes fast and easy. Using a permanent marker, label all your cardboard boxes with the content within and the destination of the room it is going to.
