Packing Tips
Preparing to pack up an entire house and move it to another country can be a frightening undertaking. You are packing many items that are valuable, fragile, and breakable. With such valuable items at stake, proper packing techniques become an essential part of your move. If you are planning on moving overseas, and packing your household items yourself, here are some proper packing techniques you can follow to ensure you move is a smooth one:
- Plan on giving yourself at least six weeks to pack and get ready for your move. The more time you allow yourself, the easier packing will be.
- Before you start packing your items, determine which items you want to keep, throw away, or sell. Moving is an excellent time to get rid of items that you no longer want or need to keep. Not only will this save you time and money, but also you’ll have fewer items to pack.
- Don’t start packing just yet-plan how you will pack, and which items you will pack together. Pack items that you don’t use often first. Also, try to pack items that are the same size and weight together. Don’t pack so many items into one carton that its not easily lifted.
- Make sure to always use proper packing material. We suggest professional packing tape, which is wide, clear or brown, and very strong. Masking tape is not recommended because it is not very strong, and cannot support the weight of a fully packed carton.
- Label the contents on the outside of all boxes, along with the rooms they belong to in your new home. If the items are fragile, make sure to write that on the box, along with arrows indicating the upright position.
- Make sure that essential items, such as toiletries, utensils, and clothes, are marked in boxes that read “open first” on the outside.
