Valuable Packing Tips from Experienced Movers

Moving can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to packing. However, with careful planning and expert advice, the process can become manageable. At One Big Man & One Big Truck Moving, we bring years of experience to the table, and here we share our valuable packing tips to make your move smooth and stress-free.

Plan Ahead

When it comes to packing, procrastination is not your friend. Start packing non-essential items weeks before your moving date. This allows you ample time to organize, pack carefully, and avoid last-minute rush which can often lead to damage.

Inventory Your Belongings

Creating an inventory of your items is a step that many overlook. An inventory provides a record of everything you're moving, making unpacking and getting settled into your new home easier. It also gives you a chance to declutter, getting rid of items you no longer need.

Use Quality Packing Materials

Invest in quality packing boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape. At One Big Man & One Big Truck Moving, we offer free use of quilted moving pads and plastic wrap for extra protection of your valuable items.

Pack Smart

When packing boxes, place heavy items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Make sure boxes are not too heavy to lift safely. Use packing paper or bubble wrap to fill any empty spaces to prevent items from shifting during the move.

Label Boxes

Properly labeling boxes can save a lot of time when it's time to unpack. Write what's inside the box and which room it belongs to at your new place. Having a detailed label can make the unpacking process easier and more efficient.

Protect Your Valuables

Sensitive items like electronics, artwork, and fragile items need extra care. We provide television boxes (up to 70") and a new mattress bag to make sure your delicate items are well protected.
