When you move from one home to another,
you are essentially packing up your whole life and moving to a new place.
Understandably, this can be quite a difficult task. However, if you hire Best Removalist in Sydney, this task can be simplified and made easy for you.
One of the simplest ways to ensure the
moving experience does not overwhelm you is to always stay organised and keep
the situation from getting out of hands. For instance, learning the right ways
to pack moving boxes can save you a lot of time and effort. Here are 5 simple
packing tips from AAA City Removalist to help you organise your move like a
pro:
1. Use the right size moving box
It might seem easy to buy a couple of
big boxes and dump all your things in them. However, consider the loading,
unloading and transportation process. Your items can get damaged if they’re not
packed properly. So, determine how many large, medium or small boxes you’ll
need and pack each box meticulously, ensuring the weight does not exceed the boxes’
recommended load capacity.
2. Stock up on supplies
Do not buy low quality boxes. Invest in
strong, sturdy and padded boxes for the safety of your valuables. Apart from
boxes, you would need bubble wrap and styrofoam sheets to help bundle together
any fragile items, some tape, scissors and a marker pen to label the boxes.
Ensure you have enough supplies to avoid wasting time making multiple trips to
the store to buy more supplies.
3. Make an inventory
Remember what items you are placing in
which box. The best way to keep track of the items inside the box is by
labelling and colour coding the boxes. It is also a good idea to identify
fragile items by sticking a ‘Fragile. Handle with care’ label on the box.
4. Organise everything
Organising your boxes well will make
the unpacking process a lot easier in your new home. Fill each box with items
that will go in a single room. Colour-code the boxes so you remember which box
goes in which room.
5. Perfect packing
Always place heavier items at the
bottom of the box with bedding, pillows and other soft furnishings on the top
and bottom to provide padding and to prevent damage. Never overfill boxes and
do not place one box on top of another. Close the boxes as per instructions and
seal them with tape.
6. What not to pack
Never pack hazardous, flammable items
in your boxes when moving homes, such as lighters, hairspray or even alcohol.
These are not safe and are even illegal to carry during the move.
