In this guide, we’ll show you simple steps to stay organized during your move—from packing essentials to efficient labeling tips—so you can stay in control and make the process as smooth as possible. Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, these practical tips will help ensure a stress-free experience.
- Make your checklist. This simple action will put you in control.
- Prepare moving supplies: boxes, tape, bubble wrap, markers for labeling, and strong garbage bags for cloths. Get them at your local Home Depot or U-Haul.
- Make the boxes with strong bottoms. Heavy items like books should be packed in smaller boxes.
- Prepare “Open First” boxes for some clothes, toiletries, medications, documents, kitchen supplies, chargers, cleaning supplies, pet supplies and tools.
- Label boxes with description and also, for easier unloading, write the floor number and the room number on each box. So “1-1” for the first room in the basement, and “2-1” for the first room on the floor above. Prepare papers to stick to each door at the new house.
