How to Pack for a House Move Like a Pro
Good packing protects your belongings and makes unpacking easier. Learn professional packing techniques used by our expert movers — from choosing the right materials to wrapping fragile items.
Packing materials you'll need: sturdy boxes (various sizes), bubble wrap, packing paper, tape gun, markers, wardrobe boxes, and specialty boxes for dishes. Never overload boxes — they should be liftable.
Fragile items: wrap individually in bubble wrap, fill empty spaces in boxes with packing paper, mark clearly as 'FRAGILE', and place at the top of the van. Use dish boxes for plates (pack vertically like records, not flat).
