Whether you’re relocating a hundred feet or a hundred miles, packing up your home and moving does not need to be a stressful process. If you follow these simple tips to organize your move, you can streamline the packing process for yourself and ensure that your moving company provides you with speedy, efficient service:
Get Rid of Unnecessary Items
Cleaning and purging your home of unused items isn’t just for springtime—in fact, a move provides you with the perfect opportunity to assess what belongings you can donate, recycle, or throw out. Many charities will even make house calls to pick up your unwanted items. The fewer belongings you have, the less you will have to pack.
Start in the Rooms You Use Least
Packing up the rooms where you spend most of your time, such as your bedroom, bathroom, or living room, can make your house feel chaotic and disorganized. Keep packing clutter to a minimum by starting to pack in lower-traffic rooms, such as the formal dining room and spare bedrooms. When you’re done, you can just close the door and forget about those boxes until your moving company arrives.
Organize Your Packing Area
If you take the time to place all moving supplies in designated places, you can avoid frantic searches for specific items. Place flat, empty boxes against one wall and sealed, packed boxes against another. Use a basket or empty trash bin to store smaller supplies, such as markers and rolls of tape.
Pack Your Suitcases
When you arrive at your new home, the unpacking process will take some time. You don’t have to spend the first few nights without your toothbrush or favorite pair of pajamas—pack items that are essential for your comfort in a suitcase and take them with you so you won’t have to go digging around in your boxes to find them.

Moving day is a stressful bridge between your old life and your new one. In order to have a worry-free move, you’ll need to adequately prepare by purchasing essential moving supplies. No matter how far you are moving, the following supplies will help make your moving day experience much more efficient.
-
Boxes: Small, medium, large, and extra-large moving boxes are all necessary items to have before moving day. It’s important to gather up large amounts of moving boxes in every size available to ensure maximum efficiency when packing your items. By gathering up boxes of all sizes, you can avoid wasted space from packing small items in oversized boxes and wasted time from trying to find a way to transport your larger belongings.
-
Labels: As soon as you put your items into boxes, you’ll need to properly label them. Colored markers and printable labels can help you keep your items organized. Without proper labeling, you’ll face a major headache in unpacking your items once you arrive at your new home.
-
Wrapping Material: Bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and wrapping paper serve an integral function in the moving day process. While some of your items won’t need any extra protection once they’re packed in boxes, any valuable or fragile belongings will need to be protected with wrapping material.
-
Packing Tape: Packing tape is another essential item for protecting your belongings. Boxes may shift during the move, and if they’re not properly sealed, you could wind up with a mess in the moving truck. Reinforce your boxes with packing tape to help ensure that nothing is damaged or gets loose.
-
Moving Blankets: While wrapping material is ideal for most items, your bigger belongings will need more padding. Moving blankets keep large items that cannot be packed into boxes, such as kitchen appliances and couches, safe from harm on moving day.
