YOUR task during the moving process will most likely be packing your items into boxes, while your moving company moves your heavier furniture items. Before starting to pack you must make sure all packing materials are acquired.
Boxes: There are many different size boxes that you can choose from during a household move. Most come in small, medium or large containers. Heavier items belong in the smaller boxes and lighter items such as pillows and comforters go in the larger boxes. Some local movers provide wardrobe boxes to hang and store clothes safely. They hold about 2 feet of hanging clothes. Affordable places to get boxes now are Home Depot and Lowe's for about a dollar each.
Packing Paper: Packing paper is an essential material when packing up your home . Packing paper provides a scratch proof protection for items such as dishes, stemware, decorative items, small pictures, dishes, and stemware. You can save a lot of time and money if you use your packing paper wisely.
Tape: You will definitely need moving tape in the packing process of your move. There are many types of tape available, but your local moving companies should provide you tape and packing paper at fair prices. Some prefer to use a tape gun because it provides great tape tension and an easy tear strip.
Markers: Markers are needed to label you boxes so your movers can place your goods into the right rooms in your new home. Linens: Towels and linens are great ways to wrap and protect items such as pictures, electronics, or other fragile items.
Specialty Containers: Certain items in your home need to be packing in special boxes. These include double walled dish packs, self locking auto folders, flat screen TV containers, wardrobes, mirror packs, and lamp cartons. Be sure to ask your movers if they sell or provide these specialty containers for proper packing.
