PACKING TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS
Packing tips to help you save time & money.
Preparing for a move is stressful enough. Packing up all of your belongings can be an emotionally and physically exhausting task. At Diamondback Moving, we are dedicated to ensuring your move is as stress-free as possible. Our team has spent years collecting moving tips that will save you time & money. We hope these tips can help you!
Declutter & Sort
Packing all of your belongings into boxes and bags can be very overwhelming. To make it easier on yourself, you should declutter as much as possible early on in the moving process. There is no better time to get rid of items that no longer serve purpose or hold sentimental value than when you are moving. We recommend going through each room and assigning each item to one of four groups: keep, donate, sell, or toss. This will give you less items to pack & unpack.
Create a Checklist
It’s important to create a plan that works for you before you get started. We recommend creating a checklist organized by room to streamline the process. Prioritize what can be packed early and what you should save for last. You should keep all essentials packed separately for quick access and to avoid any frustration.
Prepping Your Belongings
Label each box with its contents and which room it belongs to. This will not only help you stay organized, but it will also help the movers know exactly where each box goes.
Clearly label any boxes as “fragile” if they contain any breakable items. This will allow the movers to handle them extra carefully.
When packing a box, place the heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on the top. Be sure to stack dishes and glasses carefully to avoid any damage during the move.
If possible, pack electronics in their original packaging. We require purchasing a TV box for any TV’s over 60” or larger.
Use wardrobe boxes for clothing. This will allow clothing to stay on hangers and make it easer when unpacking.
Wrap your items in packing paper and bubble wrap. You can fill any gaps in the boxes with packing peanuts or bubble wrap as needed.
