Essential Packing Supplies
Before you begin, make sure you have these essential supplies:
- Durable boxes in various sizes
- Packing tape
- Bubble wrap or packing paper
- Markers for labeling
- Scissors or box cutters
- Furniture blankets or pads
Organizing Your Belongings
Start by sorting your items into categories. This will make it easier to pack and unpack later. Create a list to keep track of what goes into each box.
- Label each box with its contents and destination room
- Pack heavier items at the bottom of boxes
- Use smaller boxes for heavy items like books
- Wrap fragile items individually with bubble wrap or packing paper
- Fill empty spaces in boxes with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to prevent shifting

Certain items require special care when packing. Here are some packing tips for common household items:
- Dishes: Wrap each dish individually and stack them vertically in boxes
- Clothing: Use wardrobe boxes to keep clothes on hangers, or fold them neatly in suitcases
- Electronics: Pack electronics in their original boxes if possible, or use plenty of padding to protect them
