Wardrobe corrugated boxes are great for moving.
When you’re packing up your whole life to move to a new home, whether it’s to the city next to yours or across the country, you need to make the most out of the corrugated boxes you purchase for the occasion. Moving can be thrilling and frustrating at the same time. In order to have the best moving experience, follow these tips when packing up your corrugated boxes provided by About.com.
Write everything down. Put a number on every corrugated box and then make a list in a spiral notebook of everything you put in that box. That way, when you get to your destination, if you need something right away, you’ll be able to find everything quickly without needing to unpack every box and becoming frustrated while searching.
Have more corrugated boxes on hand than you think you need. Leave at least 10 boxes empty for last minute things that you need to pack on the actual day of the move, like bedding and clothing. If you don’t need some of the boxes, it’s not the end of the world, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Make sure to use strong packing tape as well as wrap your items in bubble wrap or surround with packing peanuts to avoid damage.
Don’t make the boxes too heavy to lift, you don’t want them breaking during the move, the key here to to have enough boxes that you don’t need to stuff each one to the point of explosion.
Pack your things up room by room and keep things together. For instance, keep light bulbs with lamps, extension cords with appliances that need them and attach small parts to the item they belong with. Remember to pack everything you can ahead of time to save time and stress on the actual moving day.
Create personal corrugated boxes. Have each family member pack a smaller “personal” box of things they are going to want right away when you get to your new home. This will help relieve some pressure when you arrive at your new home because you won’t feel like you have to unpack everything immediately and everyone will have easy access to the items they really need.
Following these packing tips when moving will help your move go much more smoothly with minimal stress and frustration. For more moving tips, read the full article on About.com.
