Have all of Your Supplies Ready 

If you’ve planned ahead of time, the moving process will go more smoothly. So have all of your supplies in hand before beginning to pack. Gather boxes, tape, moving blankets, and bubble wrap at your local hardware store.

Pack Commonly Used Items Last 

Put the items you use least first and your regular necessities last, to prevent making a common packing mistake. This will allow you to avoid rummaging through boxes, unpacking things you still need, and so on. It can also assist with any uncertainty by deciding what order to pack your possessions in.

Keep Clothing in Their Places

Consider keeping your clothing in your dresser before putting them into boxes. This will save you money on packing boxes and allow you more time on your to-do list.

As for clothes in your closet, grab a trash bag and slip it over the bottom of several pieces of clothing. Then you will want to tie the ends around the hanger; this method will also reduce wrinkling. Simply lay or hang the closet clothing in your vehicle.

Label Everything

Last but not least, make sure each box has its own label. Each box should include a description of the contents as well as an indication of where it is to be used. For example, “Master Bedroom – books, candles, and entertainment.” Labeling everything will assist you in loading and unloading quickly while also making the move process more simple.
