Moving tip: not all boxes should be packed the same way. 📦
A few simple rules can make your move safer, faster, and easier:
1. Keep boxes under 50 lbs when possible. Heavy boxes are harder to carry and more likely to break.
2. Books go in small boxes. They get heavy very quickly.
3. Fill empty space. Use packing paper, towels, or linens so items don’t shift during transport.
4. Label the side, not just the top. Movers can still see the label when boxes are stacked.
5. Keep essentials separate. Medications, chargers, documents, keys, and anything you’ll need immediately should stay with you.
Good packing doesn’t just protect your belongings. It can also help your movers load the truck more efficiently and potentially save time on moving day.
