The Ultimate Packing Guide for a Smooth Move

The Ultimate Packing Guide for a Smooth Move

Introduction

Moving can be overwhelming, but with the right approach, packing doesn’t have to be stressful. At Perpetuum Moving, we believe that smart, efficient packing is the key to a hassle-free move—whether it’s local or long-distance.

1. Start Early and Stay Organized

Don’t wait until the last minute. Begin packing a few weeks in advance, starting with items you rarely use. Create a timeline to avoid unnecessary stress.

2. Gather Quality Packing Supplies

Using the right materials protects your belongings. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Sturdy boxes (various sizes)

  • High-quality packing tape

  • Bubble wrap and packing paper

  • Furniture blankets and plastic wrap

  • Labels and permanent markers

3. Pack Room by Room

Focus on one room at a time. Label each box with the room and contents. This makes unpacking faster and more organized.

4. Protect Fragile Items

Breakables need special care:

  • Wrap items individually in bubble wrap or paper

  • Use dish pack boxes for kitchenware

  • Fill empty space in boxes with peanuts or soft paper

5. Pack Smart for Heavy Items

  • Use small boxes for books and heavy things

  • Use large boxes for light items like linens or clothing

6. Fill Boxes Completely

Avoid half-full boxes—they collapse when stacked. Use towels or soft items to fill gaps and give boxes structure.

7. Keep Essentials Accessible

Pack a “first-night box” with what you’ll need right away:

  • Toiletries

  • Clothing

  • Chargers

  • Important documents

  • Snacks and water

8. Use Wardrobe Boxes for Clothes

Hanging clothes can go directly into wardrobe boxes—no folding required.

9. Label Boxes Correctly

Labeling saves time during unpacking:

  • Write on the side, not the top

  • Be specific: “Kitchen – Glassware” or “Bedroom – Winter Clothes”

  • Use color-coded stickers or tape by room

10. Don’t Overpack Boxes

Overfilled boxes can burst or be hard to lift. Always close boxes securely and test their weight before moving.
