Safe Ship Moving Services: A Safety Checklist for Moving

Safe Ship Moving Services: A Basic Checklist for Packing

Before you begin packing, Safe Ship Moving Services mentions that there are items that you need to have, such as boxes, tape, cutters, and more.

The Supplies Checklist 

Boxes: Boxes are the biggest priority when packing. Always have different sizes of boxes for the things in your home. It can make organizing easier. 

A strong adhesive: This is needed to keep the boxes sealed. 

Bubble wrap: Bubble wraps are your primary protection for easy-to-break items. They can help ensure your important items are put away safely. 

Used blankets, towels, shirts, and newspapers can be additional padding for fragile items.

Box cutters, a utility knife, and scissors: According to Safe Ship Moving Services, you should be able to make a clean cut to tape and other materials. These cutters can help reduce any hassle when assembling things. 

Permanent markers: Markers are useful for labeling boxes. Use permanent markers to label boxes. It will help you sort them by room when unpacking. Having different colors for each box may make things more organized.

The Living Room Checklist

Next up, let's pack your living room. Safe Ship Moving Services says that the family room has many things you'll most definitely want in your future home, from television sets to mirrors to family photos.

Lightings and fixtures: You can begin by removing light bulbs and shades from lamps and chandeliers before wrapping each separately. 

Masking or duct tape: When packing mirrors or large framed pictures, put an 'X' made of masking tape over the mirror or frames with glass to minimize spilled glass if it breaks. 

Original boxes: You can also repack any electronics in their original boxes, such as television sets and air conditioning units. 

Bubble wrap used blankets, towels, shirts, and newspapers: Once again, you can use all these things to wrap mirrors and paintings.

Special box: Safe Ship Moving Services suggests keeping any irreplaceable photos or videos with you in a special box, especially during your move. Always keep in mind that hot or humid climates can affect photo paper. 

The Kitchen and Dining Area Checklist

Moving to the kitchen may seem easiest, but putting as much as you can into a box to hurry up the process is incredibly tempting. However, you have to take care of your kitchen appliances by packing them properly. It could very well save you a huge amount of stress.

Food items and leftovers: As for the food items you won't be able to take with you, you can donate them. 

Open packages: Get rid of any open packages to avoid messes and spills. 

Kitchen appliances: Make sure all kitchen appliances, such as coffee makers, toasters, blenders, and more, are emptied and cleaned well before being packed. Wrap their cords in a plastic bag before putting them inside the appliance. 

Original boxes: Safe Ship Moving Services recommends packing appliances in their original boxes if you still have them. 

Other notes on the kitchen and dining area:

Like in any other place of the home, all breakable items should be in boxes labeled "FRAGILE" or "BREAKABLE." Use your bubble wrap, towels, old clothes, and newspaper to stack smaller dishes to keep them from breaking during the move.

The dining room should be just beside the kitchen. Be extra careful with all the breakable items here. Use kitchen towels, newspaper, cardboard pieces, and linens to line boxes. These can also serve as bumpers for your plates and other ceramics. Roll rugs and secure them using plastic ties or rope.
