Packing Tips for Your Upcoming Move

Packing is one of the most complicated relocation processes. No matter whether you are experienced in packing or not, it may give you a lot of headaches. Luckily, our residential movers in the DC area are here to help you organize and pack. Here are some things that will ease the whole process:

• First and foremost, make a packing timeline. Decide which room to pack first. Our recommendation is to start from utility areas since they are the most challenging to declutter and pack.
• Make an inventory list for each room to keep track of your belongings. Purge as you pack.
• Begin by packing out-of-season items and products you only use sometimes.
• Maintain the integrity of all pairings and components. Put tiny hardware items in plastic bags and fasten them to the equipment.
• Pack the electronic devices in original containers. If you don’t have any, secure the appliances with foam bags a double tape the boxes.
• Wind electrical cables to keep them from dangling.
• Separate and safeguard risky items such as knives or skewers that might pierce or harm other objects.

How to handle packed boxes?

Handling the boxes properly will ensure the safety of your belongings, especially if you are using storage services DC. So, here’s how to handle them:

1. Avoid overloading boxes, but aim for a solid pack that keeps goods from moving. The top should close effortlessly and without force, but not inward.
2. Secure the boxes using tape. You don’t need to use a lot of tape, but it should be strong enough to seal the boxes to avoid any mishaps.
3. As you complete each box, write the items on the side. You may also wish to number the boxes. Allocate each box to an area in your future home on the label.
   Tape labels on the doors of each room at your new address so that movers may deliver the boxes to the correct room.
