Tips From Our Expert Movers

Moving can be a stressful and overwhelming process, especially when it comes to packing up all your belongings. Fortunately, there are some clever packing hacks that can make the process a bit easier and more efficient. Here are 10 of the best packing hacks to make your move smoother, brought to you by University Moving and Storage, the expert movers you can trust.

1. Use vacuum-sealed bags for clothing and linens. These bags can compress your items, allowing you to fit more into each box, and protect them from dust and dirt during transit.
2. Use small plastic bags to keep screws and other small parts from furniture or electronics organized. This will make it much easier to reassemble your items once you’ve moved into your new home.
3. Use towels, blankets, and other linens to wrap fragile items instead of buying packing material. Not only will this save you money, but it’s also eco-friendly.
4. Color-code your boxes with colored tape or markers. Assign each color to a room, so that movers can quickly and easily identify where each box belongs in your new home.
5. Pack a “first-night” box with essential items that you’ll need right away, such as toiletries, bedding, and a change of clothes. This will save you the hassle of digging through boxes on your first night in your new home.
6. Pack plates vertically, like records, instead of stacking them horizontally. This will prevent them from breaking during the move.
7. Take a photo of the back of your TV and other electronics before unplugging them. This will make it easier to set them up in your new home.
