Packing Tips
This guide will assist you if you choose to pack your items. When you pack, please consider the layout of your new residence so that you organize your packing and items in a logical manner consistent with the rooms they will occupy. This will make unpacking much more efficient.
Below is a guide to knowing and using the correct packing material. The use of the correct material will help prevent damage to your items while they are moving.
Book cartons (1-2 cubic feet) are small, easy-to-handle cartons designed for heavy items like books. It's important to avoid overloading these containers, as excessive weight can make them difficult to handle during the moving process.
Medium cartons (3–4 cubic feet) have a variety of uses for smaller items in your residence. These boxes are ideal for tools, pantry food, clothing, and small appliances. Remember, packing similar items together based on room destination will make unpacking easier.
Large cartons (4-6 cubic feet) are great for packing lightweight but bulky items such as blankets, pillows, toys, etc.
Upright cartons are for lamps, statues, and other items that require a more upright size.
Dish-packs are double-walled cartons for fragile items such as dishes, glasses, and china figurines. The cartons are marked so that they are not accidentally turned upside down.
Mirror/Picture Cartons are uniquely designed telescoping boxes that fit mirrors, pictures, and glass tabletops more precisely than ordinary boxes. Each carton has strong braces that reinforce the corners.
Wardrobe boxes are essentially mobile closets with metal bars at the top for hanging all your closet clothing. Your clothes remain on hangers so that they stay clean and wrinkle-free.
Moving or packing paper should be print-free and used for wrapping and padding. The use of newspapers is to be avoided.
Bubble wrap is used to provide extra padding beyond packing paper.
ShrinkWrap is used to hold items together as well as provide assistance against dirt when moving.
Labels are needed and used for labeling all boxes, containers, and other packaging for easy unpacking.
For budget-conscious customers, choosing between affordable movers and cheap movers can be a careful balance between cost and quality.
