How to Pack Like a Pro without Too Much Expense

Posted on 12/04/2011

People want to save as much as they can when moving. If you want to do the same, you can ask for free boxes at the grocery or the liquor store. But make sure that you are getting sturdy boxes so your things would be safer in them. It is also best that you get boxes of the same sizes. It would be easier to stack in the vehicle. Just make sure that the heaviest box is at the bottom and the lightest is on top.
Like when packing anything, make sure that delicate items are individually packed. You can use bubble wraps or light clothing and linen. You should also fill empty spaces with packing peanuts or crushed paper. The most important thing is to avoid shifting inside the box. This would ensure that your things would be safer during the travel.
Don't forget to label the boxes so you will know where each box should go. This would make unloading and unpacking easier. With an inventory as well, you will also find particular items easier even if you have not unpacked yet.
Number the boxes too so you will know which ones to open first. By doing so, you will have everything you will need sooner too.
