Proper packing is one of the most important details of a relocation, and there is more to it than just tossing things in a box loosely wrapped in newspaper. Using quality packing materials, such as sturdy boxes in a variety of sizes and protective wrap will help protect your belongings and help you stay organized.

The residential movers from Brouwer Relocation know a thing or two about proper packing because we’ve been delivering our highly reviewed moving services for more than 50 years.

Check out some of our experienced movers’ top tips for packing for a successful move.

Start Packing Early

Nothing is worse than having to make a mad rush to get everything packed right before a move. Avoid this hassle by starting the process early. Start making a plan as soon as you know a move is coming. Here are some tips for packing early without turning your entire home into a staging area.

  • Set aside an area in your home or garage where you can stack boxes as you pack them.
  • Start with items you won’t use before the move, such as out-of-season clothing or your items from your guest room.
  • Other rarely used belongings, such as kitchen appliances and holiday items, are other things you can pack well ahead of moving day.

Downsize Before Your Move

Instead of packing those rarely used items, consider donating them. Lightening your load can save you money on your move and will make it easier to get set up in your new home without so much clutter.

Crate Fragile Items

No one wants their belongings to be damaged in transit, and fragile items are most at risk. Crating those items is the best way to protect them from damage. Even if you’re completing a mostly DIY move, consider hiring a professional mover to crate fragile, valuable items.
