Safe Ship Moving Services: More Notes on Moving and Packing

Before you begin packing, Safe Ship Moving Services mentions that you need to have items such as boxes, tape, and cutters. Note #1: Gather all your supplies. 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 around 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. Cutters can help reduce any hassle when assembling things. Permanent markers: Markers are useful for labeling boxes. It will help you sort your items by room when unpacking. Having different colors for each box can make things more organized. Note #2: Pack up the kitchen and dining area. Moving to the kitchen, Safe Ship Moving Services mentions resisting the urge to put as much as possible into a box to hurry up the process. 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, and blenders, are emptied and cleaned well before packing. 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.

Fragile and breakable: Like in any other place in 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. 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.

Note #3: Pack up the living room.

Next up, your living room. Safe Ship Moving Services says the family room has many things you'll want in your future home, from your TV set 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 may also repack any electronics, such as TV sets and air conditioning units, in their original boxes if you still have them.

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