Packing for a move can feel overwhelming, but with the right strategies, you can make the process much easier. At MMG Movers, we’ve compiled essential packing tips to help you pack efficiently and ensure your belongings arrive at your new home safe and sound.

1. Start Early

Don’t wait until the last minute to begin packing. Start with non-essential items, such as seasonal clothing and decor, at least a few weeks before your move. This will give you time to organize and declutter as you pack.

2. Gather Quality Packing Supplies

Invest in sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Quality supplies will protect your belongings during the move and help prevent damage. Consider using different box sizes to accommodate various items.

3. Use a Packing Strategy

• Room-by-Room: Tackle one room at a time to stay organized. Label boxes with the room they belong to and a brief description of their contents.
• Fragile Items: Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper. Clearly mark these boxes as “fragile” to ensure careful handling.

4. Fill Empty Spaces

To prevent items from shifting during transport, fill empty spaces in boxes with packing peanuts, crumpled paper, or towels. This added cushioning will help protect your belongings.

5. Create an Essentials Box

Pack a separate box with items you’ll need right away at your new home, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, and essential kitchen items. This way, you won’t have to rummage through multiple boxes on your first night.

6. Take Inventory

Keep an inventory list of all packed boxes and their contents. This will help you keep track of your belongings and ensure nothing gets lost during the move.
