Moving can feel overwhelming, but good preparation and the right supplies make all the difference. The time needed to pack depends on your home’s size – a small apartment might take days, while a large house could require weeks. Starting early with non-essential items helps reduce last-minute stress.
Essential Packing Supplies for Every Move:
1. Moving Boxes (Various Sizes)
- Use different sizes for different items (books, kitchenware, etc.)
- Never exceed 50 lbs per box (for easy lifting and to prevent breaks)
- Choose double-walled boxes for heavy/valuable items
2. Specialty Boxes
- Wardrobe boxes (with hanging rods for clothes)
- Mirror/picture boxes
- TV/electronics boxes
3. Protective Wrapping
- Bubble wrap – Best for fragile items (glass)
- Foam wrap – thinner alternative; great for electronics
- Packing paper – Prevents scratches and fills empty spaces
4. Packing Tape
- Stronger than regular tape
- Easy to remove (unlike duct tape)
- Secures boxes and wrapping
