Packing Tips
July 9, 2014
Packing up all your stuff in boxes can be overwhelming. Sometimes it feels like you’re lost in a sea of brown cardboard boxes. But packing your things doesn’t have to cause too much anxiety. Take a few packing tips from us. We ought to know…we do it for a living!
Make sure you have all the supplies you need. Nobody likes to get a bunch of boxes packed up only to realize you only have a few pieces of tape left. Be prepared and your packing process will go much quicker.
Pack rooms or closets together. It might go without saying, but packing each box by room (or by closet) will really help you in both the moving and the unpacking process. Instead of packing all the like items in your house together, pack things based on where you want to unload them in your new place.
Stay Organized. Even if you’re in a hurry to get things packed up, you’ll thank yourself later if you take a little extra time to label and organize. For instance, if you take a piece of furniture apart and have a set of screws that matches the table, put the screws in a baggie and label them. That way, you’re not pulling your hair out trying to find the screws when you go to put your furniture back together in your new home. Little bits of organization like this will go a long way in getting you settled back into “normal” when unpacking.
Hire the pros to do it for you! Packing up your belongings takes hours and hours. If all this seems like way more work than you’re interested in, just call your St. Paul movers and we’ll take care of everything for you. From the packing to the heavy lifting, we can do it all!
