Simple Packing Tips for Your Next Move

Good packing is about more than putting everything into boxes. The goal is to protect your belongings and make them easy to find when you arrive.

Use sturdy boxes and avoid making them too heavy. Put heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on top. Wrap fragile items individually and add cushioning where needed.

Label every box clearly. A short description such as 'Kitchen — Plates' can save time when you start unpacking.

Keep a small essentials box with toiletries, chargers, basic kitchen items and a change of clothes so you do not have to open every box on your first day.
