Why You Should Label Boxes for Storage and Moving in Milwaukee

Published: December 01, 2022

Remember, your move doesn’t have to be as difficult as it could be. Even though all of your belongings may appear to be in shambles after you unpack them in your new place, that does not need to remain the case.

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

It Helps Protect Your Belongings

Any boxes containing breakable items should be labeled “fragile” in large letters. This will make your move easier and minimize the chance of damaging your belongings. For particularly fragile items made of ceramic or glass, use the word “delicate.”

Unloading is Seamless

Make a list of what you’ll need before your move, and only pack the essentials. It’s better to have less with you and more space than vice versa. Once you’re settled into your new place, take some time each day to unpack bit by bit, so it doesn’t become overwhelming all at once.

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

Though it may take slightly more time to do, labeling your boxes will save you minutes, if not hours or days, in the end. You won’t have to spend valuable time unpacking aimlessly or looking for a specific box, among others. If they’re already marked with what’s inside of them, then you can easily relocate them without having to open every single one. So dedicate some seconds now to avoid hours later by simply marking each box. It’ll be worth it!
