Tips for safe packaging of house goods for transportation
Filed Under Moving / Relocation | Leave a Comment
Are you moving to a new home? Well, then proper packing is required to ensure everything is transferred without damage. These are some of the tips which might prove handy while you move to a new place.
Firstly, pack all your heavy items in cartons. Do not overload them as it will become difficult to lift then. The items which you use rarely should be packed first. Put newspaper or other wrapping material around delicate or breakable items. Place them in small boxes and do not put many things in a box.
You must place the jewelry or other important documents separately in boxes and not mix them up with other goods. Start your packing job on a room basis. This will make the work more systematic and less hectic for you. Make sure you have put tags on each of the boxes. This will be very helpful while unpacking, when you search for the items in your new home.

Both sturdy and delicate pieces of furniture can be efficiently moved from one house to another regardless of the distance if you know how to pack them wisely.
Start packing piece by piece one month in advance, beginning with lesser used units.
Wax coat all pieces to avoid damage and scratches. Wrap with painters sheets and overlap and secure by sticking on the sheet not the unit directly.
Layer the pieces, with foam choosing the thickness as per the fragility of the piece.
Fasten the pieces using a sticky tape. Pack this into corrugated cardboard boxes or custom made wooden boxes.
If the furniture unit can be dismantled and put back together without any problem, dismantle and store removed parts in labeled bags. Also use packed cushions and seats as fillers between pieces to provide a natural fit.
Label boxes correctly enlisting all the contents clearly maintain a color code for easy recognition.
