5 Ways To Make Your Packing Efficient

When you are facing down your upcoming removals, you really do need to think carefully about the way you are going to be sorting your packing boxes. Many people feel that they can just get on with it as and when they find the time, in order that the process is not too stressful, but failure to get ahead and to plan your packing will often result in disaster when it comes to the day of your domestic removal. When your removal services arrive, you don’t want to still be putting things into your removal boxes, so make sure that you have a look over the following tips and tricks on packing supplies and making sure that you are getting things put away safely for your home relocation. 1.    Plan your packing. It may feel like the planning of the removal involves packing, but if you are not careful then you can miss out on some seriously useful packing time.

Few people get to the day of their house removal and find themselves with loads of time to spare, it is always a mad rush trying to get things sorted, whether it is problems with the man and van service, or your removals firm. Be sure not to let this happen by planning the order in which you are going to pack, and stick to it, so that there is no chance of any issues on the day revolving around your packing.2.    Time is a big part of the above, but when you get down to it, the amount of time that you spend packing will have a certain effect on how well your packing goes. If you have planned well, you should be able to reduce the length of time that you spend packing per day down to a couple of hours. In the case of most people, you don’t want to be doing more than a couple of hours at a time, as your mind can wander as you get bored, which may well mean that you end up packing less well than you need to.

If this is a likelihood, then you may want to think about getting a packing service involved, talk to your removal firm about this.3.    Packing materials are a big part f ensuring that your removal goes well, though few people realize their importance. If your packing boxes are flimsy, then they will not stack well, and this can result in issues with things falling down in the van. You need strong tape to keep the boxes together, and thick bubble wrap to prevent damage to more delicate items. 4.    Try lining the boxes that will be filled with fragile items with bubble wrap, and then wrapping the items themselves in layers of packing paper. You should find that this absorbs the vibrations of the van nicely, and prevents there being too much of a knock on effect when the box is moved.5.    Labeling your boxes is essential, as it means that the movers will know how to treat the box, as well as where to put it. You will find that a brief inventory on the outside means that no one is going to use a box full of china as a door stop, and it will also ensure that people are aware of how heavy a box may well be, preventing the chance of injury by surprise! You should label the doors of the rooms in the new house to correspond with the box labels, so that the removal team are aware of where they should leave things.
