Packing is one of the biggest challenges when preparing for a move. Done right, it can save you time, stress, and damage to your belongings. Here are some expert packing tips from California Moving Company to help you get ready for moving day.
Start Early
Don’t wait until the last minute. Begin packing non-essential items 2–3 weeks before your move.
Use the Right Materials
Invest in strong boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and durable tape. Avoid flimsy or reused boxes that could collapse under weight.
Pack Heavy Items in Small Boxes
Books, dishes, and other heavy items should go in small boxes, while lighter items like bedding can fill larger ones.
Wrap Fragile Items Carefully
Use plenty of cushioning for glassware, mirrors, and electronics. Clearly mark these boxes as “Fragile.”
Label Boxes Clearly
Label by room and contents — this makes unpacking much faster and keeps your move organized.
Disassemble Furniture in Advance
Remove legs from tables and wrap hardware in labeled bags. It saves time and prevents scratches during transport.
