Have all of Your Supplies Ready 

Being prepared will make the packing process go more smoothly. That is why you should have all of your supplies ready before you start packing. So, go to your nearest hardware store to get boxes, tape, moving blankets, and bubble wrap.

Pack Commonly Used Items Last 

Avoid a common packing mistake by putting the things you use least first and your everyday necessities last. This will help you avoid having to dig through boxes and unpack the items you still need. This technique can also help you decide what order to pack your belongings in, which will assist with any confusion.

Keep Clothing in Their Places

Consider keeping your clothing in your dresser before you put it into boxes. Clothes are often light enough to move in the drawer if they’re kept intact. That will save money on packaging and remove one additional task from 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 is labeled. Each box should have the room to which it belongs and a broad overview of the contents. For example, “Master Bedroom – books, candles, and entertainment.” Labeling everything will help you unload and pack more quickly and make every stage of the relocation process easier.
