1. Start with Decluttering
For a stress-free packing, start with decluttering, and make the it a fun journey — with your moving day coming soon, there’s no better time to think about what you really want in your new home.

2. Sort things by category
If you mix books with the kitchenware you will create empty spaces inside the boxes. Optimize the space by organizing the boxes by type: Books, clothes, cables, picture frames, etc.

3. Create a packing list
Take a look at all the things you have and get ready to label every box. Begin by planning how you are going to pack and what materials you have.

4. Don't pack everything!
There are some items that you should NOT pack when moving, either not recommended to pack yourself or not allowed by regulation. Although some of these tips might sound obvious, plenty of people have had to learn what not to pack the hard way. This advice will prevent you from making the same mistakes.

5. Use tissue paper
Do not bother using newspaper. The ink gets all over your things and can stain them. Only use unprinted tissue paper for wrapping fragile items. For extra protection, we recommend wrapping dishes, vases, and art objects with bubble wrap

6. Make a simple box for essentials
You may have a couple of days between leaving the old house and moving into a new one. Set aside a box for essentials such as dishes, cups, flatware, dish cleaning supplies and little appliances.

7. Large box for light items, small box for heavy items
It might seem counterintuitive, but if you put heavy items in large boxes, the box might break. It’s simple but this rule will make the moving process way smoother.

8. Use a wardrobe box
Wardrobe boxes allow you to hang your clothes easily with room left over to pack shoes and other items at the bottom. It’s constructed with Heavy Duty cardboard for added strength and stability with a convenient front access panel and integrated hand holes for increased ease of use

9. Seal the bottom of the box with tape

Before you put anything into a cardboard box, you should tape up the bottom. If you don’t, the bottom will flap over each other and the box could collapse when lifted. 

10. Take a picture of the inside
It will take you a second and will save tons of energy and time when you need that particular item at your new home..
