July 25, 2023 – Moving out of your home or apartment is a big deal. It’s not just about packing up your stuff, it’s also about preparing for the next chapter in your life.
You may be wondering what to do with all the things you’ve accumulated over the years–and if you should even bother packing them up at all. We’re here to help! Here are some tips on how to pack professionally:
1. Start early. You don’t want to be rushed when it comes time to move out, so give yourself plenty of time before your lease ends or before you have to move into your new place.
2. Get organized! Make sure that everything has its proper place so that you don’t lose anything in transit or during unpacking later on down the road (or worse yet, forget about it).
3. Label boxes clearly so that anyone who moves them around knows exactly where everything goes back into place once they arrive at their final destination (especially if there’s more than one person involved!).
Its best to use small boxes for heavy or fragile items (books or China) and large boxes for lightweight items (pillows, linens, etc.). Be sure to surround breakable items with adequate amounts of packing or wrapping paper and invest in some rolls of bubble wrap.
Packing supplies can be purchased readily at Home Depot, Lowe’s, U-Haul, and your local UPS Store or FedEx Office store.
