Packing can make or break a move. Done right, it keeps everything organized, safe, and easy to unpack. Done wrong, it leads to stress, broken items, and endless digging through boxes. At Miracle Movers, we have seen it all, and we have learned the tricks that make moving day smooth.
Label Everything Clearly
It sounds simple, but many people skip it. Write the room and a short description such as “Kitchen: Plates” or “Bedroom: Linens” on every box. You can also use color-coded tape or stickers for each room.
Keep Essentials Separate
Pack a “first night” box with toiletries, medications, chargers, a change of clothes, and basic kitchen items. This way you do not have to tear through boxes just to make coffee or brush your teeth.
Protect Fragile Items Properly
Do not rely on newspaper alone. It can smudge and it does not always provide enough cushion. Use bubble wrap, towels, or even clothing to keep fragile items safe. Plates should be packed vertically, not stacked flat.
Small Boxes for Heavy Items
It is tempting to fill one big box with books, but that is a recipe for pulled muscles and broken seams. Use small boxes for heavy things, and save big boxes for lighter items such as bedding or pillows.
Do Not Overpack
A stuffed box is a broken box. Keep them full but not bulging. You will thank yourself when you, or our crew, are lifting them on moving day.
