You’re moving and you have to pack all your belongings and ensure that they get safely transported to your new home. If you are hiring a removalist for the job, they will be able to provide you valuable advice and tips to make sure the move takes place smoothly and seamlessly. However, i’s important that you too know exactly what can be done to ease the process. Packing is one of the most important aspects of the move and it’s crucial that you get it right.
This means, you have to start off making a list of all the things you need to transport- starting from the smallest kitchen crockery to books, computers, decorative pieces, clothes etc.
Different Packing Materials
Once you have created a comprehensive list, the next most important thing to do is to make sure you have all the packing materials you need. This includes cardboard boxes, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, furniture blankets, plastic moving covers, shrink wrap, packing paper, corrugated sheets, tape and dispensers, vacuum space-saving bags as well as moving straps and ties. While all the other packing materials are important, it’s very important that you have the right type of modern cardboard boxes to put all your things in.
Types of Boxes
Luckily, today, there are a range of cardboard boxes to choose from, and using the right ones, will ease a lot of your unpacking effort and will ensure that everything stays safe in the boxes while it’s being transported. The types of boxes you can choose from are:
Wardrobe Boxes/Cartons
They are perfect for hanging all your expensive business suits and evening dresses and can be used to hang curtains or drapes that you want to keep wrinkle free during transportation.
Mirror Cartons
These are available in a range of sizes and work very well to transport any type of breakable items such as mirrors, picture frames, glass table-tops etc. The different pieces of the carton can be fitted together dependent on the number and size of items you want to pack into them.
Dishpack
Every home has dishes, antiques, delicate decorative items as well as valuable china; packing all these things carefully, is one of the most stressful aspects of packing. Dishpack cartons are made of extra-strength cardboard and have multiple layers; this makes them very safe to transport delicate articles.
Large Cartons (6-6.5 cubic ft)
These large containers can be used to pack any large or awkwardly shaped items such as comforters, toys, coats, area rugs etc.
Med-Large cartons/boxes (4.5 Cubic ft)
These heavy-duty boxes can hold a lot of weight and can be used to pack kitchen utensils, large lamps, clothes, toys and more.
Medium cartons/boxes (3 cubic ft)
These are of a very convenient size & have ample capacity; they can be used to pack pots, electronics, clothing, kitchen appliance, pans etc
Small cartons/ boxes (1.5 cubic ft)
Best for packing small tools, canned goods, small appliances, CD’s and more
Mattress Boxes
These are typically used when you plan to keep your mattress in storage and will not be necessary if you intend to move and set up the beds right away.
Seamless Move
As you can see, there are a range of boxes available and you can acquire these from your removalist as required. When you pack the items in the right boxes and label them, it helps the removalists move them without too much hassle.
You may find ones that have the “room” names written on them and these are convenient too. When you are well-organised, it eases the moving process, not just for you, but for your removalist as well.
