Packing for a move, whether it’s across town or to another country, can be one of the most time-consuming aspects of your relocation journey. At Empire Movers & Storage, we understand the challenges that come with efficiently packing your belongings to ensure they arrive safely at your new home. With years of experience and a commitment to making your move as smooth as possible, we’ve put together 3 tips designed to help you pack smartly, and make unpacking in your new space a breeze.
Label Everything
Use a detailed labeling system for your boxes, including the room they belong in and a brief description of the contents. For fragile items, make sure to label the boxes as such. This not only helps with the organization but also ensures that you and your movers know how to handle each box.
Prepare an Essentials Box
Prepare an essentials box for the first night in your new home. This should include toiletries, a change of clothes, chargers, medications, and any immediate necessities. Having easy access to these items can significantly reduce stress upon arrival, especially after a long journey.
Invest in Premium Packing Materials
Utilize sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and high-quality tape to protect your items during the move. For international moves, consider using vacuum-sealed bags to save space and protect against moisture.
