1. Use the right packaging materials:
Stock up on quality boxes, plastic containers, bubble wrap, tape, and markers to pack your items safely and efficiently.
2. Label your boxes clearly :
On each box, write what is inside and what room the items were originally in. This will help you with later identification and quick access.
3. Use boxes with the same format:
Use boxes of similar dimensions to make stacking and organizing in your box easier.
4. Protect sensitive items:
Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or newspaper and place them securely in the boxes. Fill empty spaces with padding material to prevent damage.
5. Dismantle your furniture:
If possible, dismantle large pieces of furniture to save space and prevent damage. Store screws and mounting materials in labeled bags.
6. Use clothing boxes for your clothes:
Hanging clothes stay wrinkle-free when you use clothing boxes. These are specifically designed for storing clothes.
7. Clean your items before storing them:
Make sure your items are clean and dry before storing them to prevent mold and odor build-up.
8. Prepare your electronic devices:
Remove batteries from electronic devices to prevent leakage. Store cables and accessories with the devices.
