After all, change is a serious life event that affects not only your emotions, but also finances, efforts, peace of mind and your most valuable time. And when, despite all possible preparation and planning, a heartwarming project doesn't go as planned, it's heartbreaking. With that in mind, this article is designed to highlight some great home packing and moving tips that will not only make your move memorable, but also free you from unwanted moving hassles and worries that plague you every time you move.

Let's get started: 

1. Start early - what would you like? Do you pack up your household in a few days or do you pack little by little over a period of time? Well, the second is the perfect way to handle moving matters because packing for a move requires serious planning and if you rush the process due to lack of time; you can pack your stuff so efficiently.

2. Eliminate the Unnecessary - We simplify the packing task for you and the movers as well. If you've been preparing to move for a while, you'll notice that you have a significant amount of unwanted stuff lying around that doesn't deserve a chance to move into your new abode. All of these items must be processed before moving, whether for sale, donation, or simply disposal.

3. Know Box Logic - If you pack items yourself, you need to know this packing rule. When packing smaller breakable items such as ornaments, objects and sentimental possessions, they should be placed in the correct size rather than smaller boxes. This leaves enough space in the box, which allows the item to be padded effectively. Pack larger items in one-size-fits-all boxes to prevent large items from moving off the sides during a shipping mishap.

4. Stock up on essentials - Whether it's stocking up on furniture covers for expensive furniture or getting the best fabric sheets to protect expensive and complicated household items, you must first make a detailed list of the packing materials you'll need to complete the packing process. Some of the most important materials you must have are moving boxes, wrapping paper, bubble wrap, corrugated cardboard, stretch wrap, etc.

5. Pack clothes carefully - first decide who will pack the clothes and how. Do you want to take care of them yourself? Or do you want professionals to pack just your clothes? Whatever you choose, make sure your clothes are packed properly. Separate everyday clothes, office clothes and elegant clothes. Similarly, sort the out-of-season clothes and pack them away first.

6. Prepare electronics - Electronics such as laptop and larger appliances such as refrigerator, television, computer, washing machine, dishwasher, chimney, etc. must be prepared before moving. All these must be cleaned with stains so that they can be installed immediately after moving.

7. Handle fragile items - Whether you are packing special items from the living room or the kitchen, every breakable item needs foolproof packaging that requires the use of protective packaging such as bubble wrap, wrapping paper, foam boards, etc. in double packing tapes.

8. Pack a Variety of Items – There are many items in our household that we don't think fit into any one category. All these miscellaneous items should be packed in one box and marked "miscellaneous" or packed separately in a vacuum bag or plastic bag if it is a small item and nothing big. You can pack wrenches, nuts, individual items without a set, etc. in this box.

9. Let the experts pack - You don't have to worry about complicated things in your home. The professional movers you hire will carefully assess them and come up with effective ways to move them. In addition, they even include innovative packing and moving strategies to ensure that all of your complicated belongings are transported to your new location intact. So leave the work to them and rest easy.

10. Label the boxes - You can add printed name tags or use ones where you add the package information to the tags yourself. If you are using handwritten labels, add the necessary information with permanent markers. We recommend using printed stickers as they are waterproof and safe.

11. Pack the boxes correctly - It is possible to make and pack moving boxes. Every moving box must be secured, and carriers of heavy or breakable items require special attention, as tearing of these boxes can cause serious accidents during moving. So you can let professional packers handle it.

12.    Pack liquids upright – When you are packing liquids, whether it is from your bathroom (the bottles of toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand wash, etc.) or your kitchen (bottles of ketchup, oil, taste enhancers, etc.), you must enquire your movers and packers in Delhi about the non-allowable items for the move because in most cases, liquids that are solutions with some percentage of foreign elements are considered risky. But even if you had to pack them, pack them upright.

We tried to cover all the packing tips that one usually undertakes during their household packing task. You may have a few more things to pack or some less stuff to prepare, but keeping in mind these 12 tips are surely going to help you for your next move.
