Why You Should Label Boxes for Storage and Moving in Columbus

Published: October 01, 2022

Making moving more difficult than it has to be is not helpful. Once your belongings have been unpacked, your new house may appear chaotic, but this isn’t necessary.

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Columbus is here to assist! Here are three reasons why it’s so important to label your boxes.

It Helps Protect Your Belongings

Use the label “fragile” on anything that might be easily broken or damaged to make your move simpler and prevent breakage. The large block lettering on the front of your box makes it more apparent. You can write “delicate” on the box if you’re packing fragile ceramics or glass objects.

Unloading is Seamless

As you pack, mentally estimate how much stuff you think you’ll need. It’s better to bring less and have more space than trying to shove everything into one box when traveling. When you arrive at your destination, take your time unpacking so that you don’t feel overwhelmed.

Place the box in its proper position when identifying it. If you’re packing a box of children’s books to give to the playroom, write it on the box.

Makes Unpacking Easier

Labeling your boxes will make unpacking and moving in easier. If they’re already marked, you won’t have to spend time looking for specifically labeled boxes or repackaging them. So take a few minutes to label each box. It’ll save you hours over the long run!
