How to Start Packing for Your Move

By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

From managing your initial move to packing when you find yourself too stressed to think, these basic recommendations from professional movers in Denver will help you start placing one carton on top of another until your home is packed and ready to go.

Start with Cartons and a Permanent Marker

Get started with that first carton. Grab a stack of 'Medium' packing boxes plus a permanent marker. Get started with the rooms you use least, such as the garage or den. Clear cabinets into boxes (with padding, if needed) and label the carton for its contents. And then get started with another box. And then another. Clear out your off-season clothing directly into one box and your backup toiletries into another. Empty your bookshelves and desk drawers into one box as well as your less used kitchen pans inside of another.

One carton at a time, label by label, your home will get packed up.

Split Up Your Packing into Achievable Chunks

If packing the whole house may seem like a large task, break it up. Pack your office first, or all things in your closet you don't put on every week. Pack up your storage areas, they're actually half-packed anyway. Divide your home into areas, leaving your most-used belongings for last. Tackle packing one evening and weekend at a time and congratulate yourself on reaching objectives.

Eliminate Stuff You Don't Need

Moving is the perfect time to purge your possessions of anything you don't need or wouldn't like to bring together with you. Those shirts you won't ever wear, the pots and pans you won't ever prepare a meal with, or the furniture too shabby to be worth the moving van space can get kicked to the curb or - better still - donate them. There might be a young couple who urgently needs an older solid sofa or possibly a family who could really use that extra bed.

Eliminate things you do not need. The things you will not miss in the new house is a candidate to lessen your load and reduce how much you'll need to pack.

Give Yourself Ample Time

If you're not a professional mover in Denver, start out early. The majority cannot pack their residence over a long weekend, or even over 3 or 4 weekends. So, give yourself lots of lead-up time for you to pack the house - and acknowledge when it is time to get in touch with the moving company reinforcements in the event you just do not make adequate headway before your moving date gets near. This is typical, not every individual is a packing machine.

Use Professional Movers

Professional movers in Denver are usually an essential aid when you're planning a move. Lots of people employ movers to pack just their big household furniture and a lot of delicate objects, trusting their know-how to ensure these things reach the new home safely. You can even depend on professional movers in Denver to take you past the finish line if your personal moving attempts aren't quite executed when moving-truck day occurs.
