Smart Packing Tips for Home Shifting

Moving to a new home is a significant chapter in our lives. Some might be relocating due to a job change, while others are moving to a new address for family needs. However, the task of organizing and packing often becomes the most daunting part! Disorganized packing not only risks losing belongings but can also lead to valuable items breaking. So, let's learn how to pack easily, safely, and efficiently when moving, and why Truck Lagbe can be your greatest ally in this endeavor.

Planning is Essential Before You Start Packing

Before you even begin moving, create a detailed "To-Do List." Start packing at least 7 days in advance. Pack items you don't use frequently first, such as winter clothes in summer, jewelry boxes, extra bedsheets, etc. Rushing to pack everything at the last minute increases stress and the likelihood of making mistakes.

What Items Should You Pack Separately?

It's crucial to pack certain items separately to make your move even more secure:

• Fragile Items: Glass, porcelain, ceramic showpieces—pack these with extra care.
• Essential Daily Items: Things you'll need on your first day, such as matches for the stove, toothbrushes, basic first-aid medicines, toiletries, and so on.
• Important Office or Work Documents: Certificates, bank statements, identification cards, or any other necessary documents.
• Jewelry or Valuables: Keep personal valuables separately with utmost caution and pack them in a distinct box, clearly labeled "Urgent." If necessary, keep these boxes with you instead of loading them onto the truck.

Necessary Packing Supplies:

Choosing the right supplies for packing will make your job much easier:

• Sturdy Cardboard Cartons/Boxes: Use strong boxes of various sizes.
• Bubble Wrap: Essential for wrapping fragile items.
• Packing Tape and Scissors: Use good-quality tape to seal boxes.
• Marker Pen: For labeling boxes.
• Old Newspapers or Clothes: To fill empty spaces inside boxes and ensure item protection.
