Moving to a new place involves a lot of excitement and stress. Packing may seem daunting, but it can be smooth and easy if you handle it well. This blog post provides useful tips so you can pack like a professional, making your next move less overwhelming and more bearable.

Get started early, and keep organized

The key to packing success is planning. Two or three weeks ahead of time, start going through your things. Determine what to keep, donate, or throw away. Being organized from the beginning helps you avoid the last-minute frenzy. Labeling boxes, including what’s inside them and where they belong in your new home, makes unpacking much simpler.

Consider a few things you’re uncertain about moving, and consult professional packers. If you’re stuck in making a decision, let our team at A2B Moving & Storage help you through the process.

Use High-Quality Packing Materials

Getting heavy-duty boxes, tape, and cushioning can save you time and protect your stuff. But cheap or used boxes will collapse under pressure, putting your belongings at risk of damage. For example, a set of five large durable moving boxes typically costs around $20 to $30. Packing paper and bubble wrap keep fragile goods, such as dishes and electronics, safe. You can even use linens or towels for extra protection.

If sourcing these ingredients seems cumbersome, we got you. It includes all the supplies you will ever need.

Pack Strategically, Room by Room

Packing by room keeps you organized and on task. Start with things you don’t use as often, like stuff for the wrong season (clothes) or holiday decorations. As already mentioned, pack fragile items separately and place heavier stuff on the bottom of each box. This helps to prevent shifting while in transit and frequently helps to protect delicate valuables. For instance, when packing up a kitchen, wrap glasses and plates in bubble wrap and stand them upright in boxes.

Keep Essentials Handy

Imagine showing up at your new home only to spend hours rummaging through boxes for essentials like toiletries or a phone charger. Fill the essentials box with the things you’ll need right away, like medications, snacks, simple tools, and a change of clothes. It gives you enough time to settle down without additional tension.

If you don’t know how to prioritize your essentials, A2B Moving & Storage can help you plan and pack accordingly for your first days in your new space.

Save Time with Professional Help

Packing up a whole house is no simple task. However, although it might seem like a cost-effective solution, hiring professionals is often a more efficient and less stressful alternative. For example, hiring a professional packing service can be between $500 to $1,000, depending on the number of boxes you need and the overall size of your home. This investment saves time and ensures your items are securely packed.

Conclusion

Packing up an entire house is not an easy feat. While this may save you money in the long run, it is not always the best route to take, as using professionals is often simpler and less stressful. For example, depending on how many boxes you have, as well as the entire size of your home, hiring a professional packing service can cost you anywhere from $500 to $1,000. The time spent making this investment is worth it knowing that your items will be packed tightly.
