How to Pack for a Moving Company

Organizing your belongings can greatly reduce the stress related to the time-consuming task of packing for your relocation. Not only does this process help you downsize your belongings for a more efficient move, but it also ensures that your moving company is aware of specific moving directions for specialty items that may require unique care.

Here are some of the best ways to pack for a moving team:

Clean Your Home

Clean your way around your home, tackling a new room every week. As you do, empty drawers—yes, that includes the infamous junk drawer—and catalog the various items that can stay, be donated, or thrown away. Not only will cleaning and downsizing lighten the load on your movers, but it will also save you money on various packing materials and labor-related costs.

Label Boxes Appropriately

If you’re packing everything yourself, make sure to clearly label the boxes. This will help you organize your new home faster and provide some instruction for your movers. To that point, label any boxes that contain fragile items “FRAGILE” to ensure that they are handled with the utmost care.

Prepare Larger Appliances

Some moving companies will not disconnect your appliances—your refrigerator, washer/dryer, and other major utilities. To save time on moving day, disconnect your appliances yourself.

While there are many additional tasks that you can do to make moving day easier for both yourself and your moving team, hiring a full-service moving company can help streamline the process tenfold.
