Sacramento Movers Say Proper Packing Makes All The Difference

When preparing for a move, there are easy tips to follow to ensure your belongings arrive in the same condition as they were prior to packing. For example, when packing breakable items it’s wise to use bubble wrap and plain professional packing paper. Never use newspaper because the ink can bleed. Packing can make all the difference.

 

When packing, the experts at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® recommend keeping these tips in mind:

·         Use only small boxes for books. They get very heavy, very fast.

·         Try to pack all electronic equipment such as stereos in their original boxes. Otherwise use low-static bubble wrap when packing these items.

·         Always place dishes upwards when packing.

·         All boxes need to be closed and sealed with packing tape. Never use duct tape and don’t interlock the tops.

·         Pack important and sentimental documents separately so it’s easily accessible, including children’s health records, passports, family records, insurance information and photo albums.

·         Pack a box of essential items you will need immediately after the move. Make sure it’s the last thing added to the truck.

·         Don’t use laundry baskets or bags to pack belongings.

·         Always pack and unpack breakables over a padded surface to reduce the chance of breakage.

·         Remember: the heavier the item, the smaller the box.

Taking the time to efficiently pack will save time and energy in the end. Following proper wrapping, padding and boxing procedures are vital to protect your belongings and make your move a success.
