A Guide to Moving Out

PACKING hacks

With a few clever tricks, you can box your life up like a total pro — and make unpacking a breeze. Here’s our packing guide for moving:

  • Take pictures of box contents and number them so you know what’s inside. Tape every moving box closed—do NOT interlock the flaps.
  • Pack spices and kitchen towels in your pots and pans. Make sure your dishes are packed vertically. Never pack fine china in printed newspaper.
  • Take pictures of electronics so you know how to hook them up at your new home.
  • After packing a box, gently shake it and listen for movement. If you hear things shifting, you need to pack it more tightly.
  • Use towels and blankets as packing materials to protect breakables. If items are small enough to fit in a box—like smaller TVs, lamps, and pictures—they must be packed.
  • Label boxes by writing on a piece of tape (not the box itself) so they can be reused.

Moving day can be exciting! With a few simple hacks, you can make the process super smooth and even enjoyable. Here’s our top tips for moving day: 

  • Put different color pieces of tape on boxes so you know which room they go to.
  • Pack a cooler full of water so everyone stays hydrated.
  • Finish packing the day before your move (not of) to keep everything on schedule.
  • Unpack a little bit at a time—and start with the important necessities—so you don’t get too stressed out.
  • Get rid of boxes as soon as you empty them—then you can see your progress and keep your new home clear of clutter.
