Moving can be stressful, but properly packed boxes make all the difference. With a few simple rules, you can save time, stress, and even money.
Books, dishes, or tools always go on the bottom. On top go pillows, towels, or clothing. This keeps the box stable and safe to carry.
A box should be no heavier than what you can lift with your arms slightly bent. As a rule of thumb:
Newspaper, bubble wrap, or towels are perfect. Important: Fill gaps so nothing shifts.
Room + contents = faster unpacking. Example: “Kitchen – Glasses / Pots”. Even better: Use the categories in your app.
Cross taping with wide packing tape holds best. No masking tape, no Scotch tape.
