The first thing that comes to your mind when shifting homes or offices is – how to maximize the space utilization and minimize the damages. You are wrong if you think getting the correct-sized boxes and decluttering are the only way out. There are a couple of more things you need to note. So, for all those who are looking for a handful of packing hacks for moving, the search ends right here! We at PAM Packers and Movers will give you those ‘quirky’ unknown tips that professionals use.
That’s not all! In this post, we will also tell you, how we will streamline the whole relocation process for you. Given that we have several regional offices in Bangalore, all you have to do is connect with us to get a professional service. Let us highlight the specifics for you –
What are some packing hacks for moving?
Let us share some of the hacks that we try out –
#Hack 1 – What you must not pack in wooden boxes/cartons?
- Perishable goods (open food packets, baby’s food products, or any such kind of eatables).
- Any confidential documents, jewelry, and collectibles. This reduces the chances of losing items. Always place them in a zip-lock bag and carry them personally.
- Flammable items and garden supplies. These are common items found both in offices and homes. You must pack them separately in bubble wrap to ensure their safety.
Hence, you need special ‘bubble wrap’/ ‘cloth cartons’/ ‘tote bags.’ The products mentioned above have to be rolled in bubble wrap and then put in cloth cartons and tote bags for transportation. This will both maximize space utility and minimize the damage.
#Hack 2 – Declutter and keep the relevant items together
Another of the classic packing hacks for moving is decluttering and keeping the ‘same type of goods’ together. Whether you are moving home or an office, there will be a range of things that you have to throw away. Once that is done, then you must keep the relevant items together. This implies –
In the case of home
- Segregate the clothes and essentials that you will need immediately after shifting. Prepare a box with a minimum of 3 days of regular work and home clothes and your toilette essentials (toothpaste, shampoo, soap, detergent, sanitizer, spray, and others). Pack them horizontally in a wooden carton.
- Keep a separate box for cooking essentials. From the basic spices to sealed packets of readymade food, you must have it all set.
- Your home decor, books, and other fancy things must be covered up in bubble wrap and kept either in regular or cloth cartons as previously advised.
- For electronic goods, it is better to disassemble them and pack them separately. For safety measures use wooden cartons. Keep all the parts horizontally to make more space.
In the case of office
- Since electronic goods are of primary concern here, the quickest packing hacks for moving are – disassembling them, using bubble wraps to cover them, and horizontally placing them in wooden cartons. This will ease the relocation process.
- As far as office decor and physical files are concerned, normal cartons are good enough. Just ensure that you pack the files in a department-wise format.
Multiple types of specific packing materials are available. Use those and always label the boxes.
#Hack 3 – Use the correct padding and color code your boxes
The last of the packing hacks for moving that works both for home and office spaces happen to be – using the correct padding and color-coding the boxes. Let us explain in detail –
- Supposedly you have plenty of towels, winter wear, and soft clothes at home. Rather than packing them separately, use these as padding. Whether you are transporting valuable goods (from home or office) – always use these towels as padding. This provides double coating (bubble wrap and towel cover) thereby ensuring additional safety and space maximization.
- Regarding your winter clothes – try double-covering the bubble-wrapped electrical gadgets with your winter coats, and cardigans. You have additional cover and also a chance to transport your winter heavy wear with ease.
- Lastly, color code the boxes – say, blue color tag for home decor items, green color tag for clothes, and others. This will make the unloading and setting up process easier and faster.
