The Importance of Labeling for Moving and Storage

Published: April 01, 2022

Moving may be one of the most difficult activities a person will ever undertake. Moving is already a time-consuming and anxiety-provoking process, so there’s no need to make it worse. Storing items might appear to be a chaotic clutter, but there is an easy solution for that.

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

It Helps Protect Your Belongings

Adding one word to your packing will guarantee that everything in them does not arrive at your new home damaged or destroyed. Something that is easily destroyed or broken should be marked with “fragile.”

Use block lettering on the box so that everyone who comes into contact with it understands what’s inside. Use “delicate” when packing ceramic or glass items or any collectibles in boxes.

Unloading is Seamless

Consider how much stuff you’ll have before you start packing, and don’t try to cram it all in at once. It’s also important to keep in mind that you won’t be able to move and unpack everything at once, so plan ahead of time.

When labeling a box, you should always include the location in which the box will be placed. If you have a box of children’s books that must go in the playroom, label it playroom.

Makes Unpacking Easier

It also makes it simple to unpack and set up. Moving into a new house with all of your possessions still in boxes may be quite stressful. If you need something fast, labeling your boxes can assist you to find what you’re looking for.

So always remember to write a general list on the box of what contents are inside.
