It is important to prepare some essential moving aids in advance of organizing, and having the right tools at your disposal will make things go faster.
1. Carton
Cartons can be used for some clothes and quilts etc. General: 52cm × 36cm × 48cm is sufficient
Can be used for small appliances, books, and general: 55cm × 52cm × 40cm is enough.
2. Storage box
Storage boxes are mainly used for books, clothing, and various fragile items. Approximately 61cm × 43cm × 26cm is sufficient.
3. Corrugated board
Corrugated cardboard is made from face paper, lining paper, and core paper, and the corrugated paper is processed into waveform corrugations by bonding.
This kind of packaging material is better recycled and very environmentally friendly, and many moving companies advocate the use of this kind of packaging material in packing items and actively participate in low-carbon initiatives. This material is mostly used for packing servers, valuable furniture, and large electromechanical items.
4. Air cushion film
This item is the most frequently used packing material by moving companies, and its safety is not trivial. As the air cushion film is filled with air, this packing material is lighter and more flexible, soundproof, and its shockproof, anti-abrasive properties can ensure that your items reach their destination safely.
If you have electronic products or cosmetics or audiovisual products at home, you can use this material for packaging. This material is mainly used to protect fragile items, glass, and furniture wrapping, with the following specifications: 7m x 60cm
With the right tools, you also need some proper methods to make your move a smooth one.
1. Moving the Checklist
Make a list of all the things you need to get done. Moving is a lot more things than just packing. You also need to make sure that all your belongings are not warped, that everything is clean, and also that you haven't forgotten any little things; a checklist is useful. Make a list for yourself and check to cross everything off as you go. This will ensure you don't forget anything important.
2. Pack Organiser Boxes By Room
In the process of organizing we tend to forget that we are moving into a new home and also going to do sorting and organizing, so in organizing without a plan, most of the time when we are putting away, we get into a state of confusion and don't know what to do next.
This is why organizing my room is one of the quickest and best solutions. When we arrive at our new home, we just need to put things back in place according to the properties of the room.
3. Moving Tips
Be sure to properly store any fragile items in the home, for example by placing something soft around it, such as foam, and inform the movers in advance.
Be sure to settle the utility bills and take photos of all existing damaged areas in the house to keep evidence and work out with the landlord in advance to avoid unnecessary rental disputes.
Always contact a professional service provider for any dismantling operations, do not do it blindly yourself as it is easy to have bad accidents.
Note: In general, only 1-2 people are allowed in the car to look after your belongings and show the way, so if you have family members, make sure you arrange for them in advance.
Keep valuable items with you (e.g. ID, jewelry, cash) do not pack them among the items being moved.
