How to Pack for Your Move

How to Pack and Prepare for Your Move. Whether this is your first time moving or your tenth time, knowing the essentials for packing for your move will save you in the long run. If you have decided you’re going to take on the task of packing all your belongings then you better know a few things first. Separate the breakable items from the non-breakable. Place clothes, pillows, and linens in the larger boxes as they take up more space. Be sure to not pack a large box full of books or similar objects as it will be too heavy for the movers and it can damage the box itself. Pack all breakable items in a dishpack box, but make sure to pack each object with packing paper. There should be no space for the objects to slide around when being moved. Lamps should have the lampshades removed and placed into a separate box. Make sure you pack your belongings properly as you are then reliable for them.
