Moving can be exciting. Packing is not. While you may not enjoy this task, proper packing is a must if you want to enjoy a successful, hassle-free moving experience. We should know. The Behrens Moving Company team has served the Milwaukee area for nearly 100 years, and our professional residential movers are happy to share top tips for proper packing.
Purge Unwanted Items
One top tip for packing is DON’T pack unwanted items. A move is a great time for a purge, so spend some time sorting into piles to keep, donate, and toss. Why pay to bring clothes you no longer wear and items you no longer use? Instead, streamline your belongings and save money on your local or long-distance move and make it easier to settle into your new home.
Crate the Good Stuff
It’s easy for fragile, valuable items to be damaged during a move, but custom crating protects fragile, valuable items by preventing shifting and stopping them from being damaged even during a move on rough roads.
Start Planning and Packing Early
As soon as you know you’re moving, start planning and packing. You can begin in less-used rooms and start by packing seasonal items you won’t need prior to the move. Consider setting up a staging area where you can neatly stack boxes without the need to have the move take over your entire home.
Label for Where the Items Will be in the New Home
Some of your items may live in a different room than they do now, so be sure to label your boxes for where the items will go in your new home rather than where they are in your existing home. This will make getting organized in the new place easier.
Hire Professional Movers
The best tip for proper packing is to hire experienced professionals to handle the job! There is more to packing than wrapping things in newspaper and tossing them in a box. The professional movers from Behrens Moving and Storage know how to handle everything from furniture to fine art, and our packing techniques ensure that all the things you love most will arrive safely at your new home.
