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.
