Moving is an exciting time in a family’s life, a chance for new beginnings, new bedrooms, new energy and new memories. But with moving comes packing, which many people consider one of the hardest chores associated with moving.
For one thing, there’s the pressure of packing up your entire house under a time constraint, and sometimes the timeline isn’t exactly clear. And then there’s the worry that you will pack something wrong and it will break during the move.

- When you’re packing for a move, you want to start with high quality boxes. While cheap cardboard boxes may sound like a way to cut costs, we’ve found that using used boxes that are not designed for moving may end up costing your more in the long run.
- Begin collecting newspaper or unprinted newsprint to stuff into boxes in the empty spaces around your items. This helps prevent the items from shifting and possibly getting damaged during transit.
- We suggest you designate one box in particular as your last day/first day box. This box will contain all the things you’ll need right up until you move, and the first items you’ll want when you’re settling in. These items may include:
- Towels
- Toiletries
- Tissues/paper towels
- Cleaning supplies
- Plastic cups, plates, and utensils
- Items for a baby or pet
- Prescriptions and all other medication
- First-aid kit
- Know your box sizes. When packing, you’ll need a variety of boxes to accommodate your household goods.
- Dish carton: These boxes are designed for glassware and other breakable items. The cardboard is thick, to protect the contents.
- Wardrobe box: Buy a wardrobe box with a rod to keep your hanging items organized. There’s no need to remove your clothing from the hangers.
- Small boxes or book boxes: These containers are about 1.5 cubic feet and are ideal for packing items that are small but relatively heavy, such as books, CDs, DVDs.
- Medium cartons: Medium moving boxes will take care of most of your moving and packing needs. You can pack pots, pans, games, folded clothing and linens in these boxes.
- Large moving boxes: A good rule of thumb is to pack light items in large boxes. Pillows, blankets, lamp shades, toys, plastics, etc.
- Special crates: If you’re moving expensive art, ask your mover about special crating.
