General Packing Tips
Universal strategies that apply to every room
Pack One Room at a Time
Complete one room before moving to the next. Keeps you organized and less overwhelmed.
Label Every Box
Write room name and brief contents list on top and sides. Makes unpacking 10x easier.
Keep Essentials Box Separate
Pack a first-night box with toiletries, chargers, medications, and a change of clothes.
Don't Overpack Boxes
Boxes should be firm but not too heavy. Aim for 30-40 lbs max for safe lifting.
Use Eco-Crates for Easier Packing
Reusable plastic crates stack better, protect items more, and save time unpacking.
Take Photos Before Disassembly
Document how furniture and electronics are set up before taking apart.
