Safe Ship Moving Services: Organizing Your Things for a Move
Safe Ship Moving Services says that whether you’re trying to figure out what to pack or which room to start – you’ll probably need help. Today, we take a closer look at the things you have to do and the stuff you need to have for your big move.
According to Safe Ship Moving Services, you can’t do anything substantial yet without packing supplies. Here’s a short list.
• Boxes: These are the biggest priority when packing. Always keep a variety of sizes of boxes for items in your home.
• Strong adhesive and tape to seal boxes.
• Bubble wrap, towels, and similar items like newspaper and old clothes can be used to secure fragile objects tightly and safely.
• Box cutters, a utility knife, and a pair of scissors are a must-have when packing and unpacking. You should be able to make a clean cut to tape and other materials and reduce any hassle when assembling things.
• Permanent markers are needed for labeling boxes. Use permanent markers to label boxes. It will help you sort them by room when unpacking.
• Handcarts can help you with lifting heavy items and boxes. It will lessen the chance of physical injury from lifting those heavy boxes, adds Safe Ship Moving Services.
2. Pack the non-essentials first. Take all the things you won’t need immediately and pack them first. You probably won’t need any of them during the move. Create a checklist of items you don’t use that often so you don’t find yourself living out of your moving boxes and repacking.
3. Group similar things with each other. Once you’re done with that, pack your similar items with each other. Stay organized by packing similar items together. You can determine this by basing them on room or use. It will make unboxing in your new home so much easier.
4. Label objects in an organized manner. Label the boxes based on the contents, areas, and rooms of the house. When you label boxes with contents and room or area, it will simplify unpacking. Boxes can then be unloaded directly into the correct rooms and areas.
5. Color code the boxes. Still, on the subject, you can color code your boxes by each room to make everything more organized. You can do this via colored markers of different colored tape.
6. Pack essential everyday items separately. According to Safe Ship Moving Services, essential everyday items should be packed separately. No one wants to go digging through boxes to look for their essential items. By packing things such as flashlights, first aid tissues, etc., in the same box, you won’t experience a ton of frustration.
Additional notes:
Allow yourself more time to pack everything. It’s typically best to give yourself a bit more time than you expect to organize as well as pack. Creating a schedule for packing for a move is an excellent way to make sure you give yourself the time you need.
Load the larger items first. Take the larger items, such as furniture, appliances, and the like, and load them into the moving truck first. By putting the larger items into the moving truck first, you have a lot more room for the smaller items near the door of the truck, making it easier to unload, adds Safe Ship Moving Services.
