Intro
Packing isn’t hard — most people just do it wrong. Here’s a method that prevents damage and speeds up unpacking.
Step 1: Declutter Before You Pack
Too many people pay to move junk. This is wasted money.
Action:
-
Sell/donate what you haven’t used in 6 months
-
Trash what’s truly trash
Step 2: Use the Right Materials
Cheap boxes collapse. Inside your nice mirrors and electronics, you need:
-
Double-wall boxes
-
Bubble wrap
-
Foam sheets
-
Heavy-duty tape
Step 3: Pack Room by Room
Random boxing is disorganized. Label:
-
Room
-
Box number
-
Brief contents
This speeds unpacking and prevents lost items.
Step 4: Protect Fragile Items
Never trust “blanket wrapping.” Wrap separately:
-
Wrap items individually
-
Pack vertically with cushioning
-
Fill voids (no rattling)
Step 5: Electronics and Cables
Bundle cables with tags. Take photos of connections. Trust me — this saves hours.
Conclusion
Bad packing = stress + damage. Take the extra 30 minutes now or waste hours later.
