What’s the best way to pack my moving boxes?

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.

Tip

🧱 1. Heavy items on the bottom, light ones on top

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.


🎯 2. Don’t overload boxes

A box should be no heavier than what you can lift with your arms slightly bent. As a rule of thumb:


🧻 3. Cushion fragile items well

Newspaper, bubble wrap, or towels are perfect. Important: Fill gaps so nothing shifts.


✍️ 4. Label like a pro

Room + contents = faster unpacking. Example: “Kitchen – Glasses / Pots”. Even better: Use the categories in your app.


🧩 5. Seal boxes properly

Cross taping with wide packing tape holds best. No masking tape, no Scotch tape.

Because your smartphone is always there when you move.
