Moving into your next family home or a new office is a big step so it’s important to be well prepared in the run up to moving day. Starting your packing early is one of the best things you can do as it will minimise stress and ensure that everything remains well organised, especially when it comes to unpacking in your new location.
Need some top tips? Here’s what you can do to make packing easier.
Purchase packing materials from the removal team
Many removal companies offer packing materials so you haven’t got to spend time hunting for old cardboard boxes, bubble wrap and more. By using professional and high-quality materials you can prevent property damage and have one less thing to worry about in the lead up to your move.
Be resourceful
As well as using professional packing materials you should also make use of items that you already have. Why not pack smaller items into suitcases and keep newspapers and small boxes aside too? This can make your move much greener and save you money compared to buying all new packing materials. You can also ask family and friends for spare packing materials.
Clear out unwanted items
You’re going to have a lot more to move if you don’t sort through your belongings. You’d be surprised how many unwanted items you have lying around so spend a few hours sorting through everything including the items you want to keep, donate or throw away. That way when you move into your new place you aren’t bringing more than you need with you.
Organise your boxes
The last thing you want is to spend hours searching for your items because you haven’t organised them. Choose an organisation system such as colour coding boxes depending on which room they belong in or simply label each box so you know exactly where to look. Something as simple as this can help you unpack and settle in much quicker.
