• Assign a unique color to boxes going to each room of your new home. In other words, place a piece of colored tape on the top of the boxes. The master bedroom might be blue, the kitchen green, the living room orange, and so on.
• When cleaning out drawers, place smaller items in zippered plastic bags to keep everything together and make packing easier.
• Take advantage of open space by packing items inside of empty suitcases, trash cans, laundry baskets, crockpots, and roaster pans, among other things.
• For breakable plates and bowls, place a layer of bubble wrap on the bottom of the box. Then, set the plates vertically as opposed to horizontally. With the bottom row complete, add a thick layer of bubble wrap and a flat piece of cardboard on top. On that layer, add bowls wrapped in packing paper, followed by a top layer of bubble wrap.
• To pack breakable glasses or cups, do the same as you would for plates and bowls with one additional step. Use a piece of flat cardboard with slits to separate each item.
• For any delicate items, use quality packing paper, newspaper, paper towels, or linens to fill in any open spaces to prevent movement during transport.
• Never overfill the moving boxes. You want the boxes light enough to carry to and from the truck while preventing the taped-up bottom from splitting open.
• When packing items like shampoo, conditioner, cleaning products, cooking oil, and so on, either place them in separate plastic zippered bags or seal the lids and openings with tape to prevent leakage.
