Moving And Packing Tips by veronica30: 8:00am On Sep 03, 2021
If you have children make sure you keep their toys out until the last minute. If you want them, you may request that they are packed last so they will be the first item out of the moving truck.

Moving Supplies
Using the right packing supplies will make your life much easier. Use sturdy boxes and good packing tape/shipping tape. Masking, duct, electric tapes are not sticky enough and will not hold well. Stick to the good stuff. It will also save you a lot of aggravation by using a packing tape dispenser. Many moving companies will supply free moving boxes.

Moving Boxes
Selecting the right moving boxes
Using the right type of boxes will ensure that your items will arrive with little or no damage. Moving boxes come in many sizes, shapes, and weights. Pick them according to your item requirements. You can find box companies that will ship directly to your home. If you use a moving company, they usually supply free boxes for moving as well.

Small moving boxes (1.5 cubic feet) are normally used for books and small fragile items. Medium moving boxes (3.0 cubic feet) are a good multi-purpose size box. Use for clothes and medium kitchen items. Larger moving boxes (4.5 cubic feet) can be used for large kitchen items, games, table lamps, etc. Each of these boxes is able to carry 65 lbs. However, you should try to keep your boxes at 50 lbs. It makes them safer and easier to move.

Specialty boxes are available. Dish packs, wardrobe, mattress, mirror, art boxes and many other special sizes. Many movers will make crates for your artwork and mirrors as well.
A few points to remember about moving boxes:

When you're purchasing moving boxes, remember that boxes made from corrugated cardboard will be stronger than regular boxes and are better at handling heavier and delicate items.
Don’t forget to order enough moving boxes to complete your move. It is also a good idea to plan on what sizes you will need. It is a costly and time-consuming mistake to have too little box space, or too much.
Often people go for the least expensive tape not realizing how important tape is to holding your boxes, and your belongings, together. DO NOT SKIMP ON YOUR CHOICE OF TAPE!
It is also critical to use bubble wrap and packing peanuts. They will save you a headache at the other end of your trip by cushioning your valuables.

Moving companies will not take responsibility for breakage in boxes that they did not pack.
Here are some more packing tips.
Moving Blankets
and Furniture Pads
Moving blankets are great for protecting your large furniture items from scuffs and scratches. They are very thick blankets that absorb the extra shock put upon your furniture while they are packed in the moving truck. They normally come in 3 sizes; Economy (15 oz), Standard (36 oz.) and Deluxe (38 oz.).
