Tropical Storage Packing & Moving Tips

TIP #1 – DEVELOP A PLAN

Developing a plan can make packing and moving a breeze. Planning ahead of time can save you time and unwanted stress on moving day.

TIP #2 – CREATE MOVE IN/MOVE OUT CHECKLIST

Creating a move-in/move-out checklist will help you keep track of what goes and what stays. Moving day can be a little overwhelming, so keeping a record of which items are going with you and what is not is a great benefit.

TIP #3 – GET HELP (IF NEEDED)

Depending on what you are packing and moving, you always want to get help. Call your friends, family or professional movers, getting help will not only save you time but energy, energy you’re definitely going to need on moving day.

TIP #4 – PREPARE MOVING SUPPLIES

When packing for a move, it is essential to have the necessary moving supplies (SEE TROPICAL STORAGE MOVING KITS). Being prepared with the right supplies can expedite the packing and moving process considerably.

TIP #5 – PACK ONE ROOM AT A TIME

Assign rooms you want pack first, preferably start with one room(small) then move on to the larger rooms.

TIP #6 – NEVER OVERLOAD A BOX

When packing boxes for moving, most tend to overload the box with to many items. This can be very strenuous when trying to lift and move the box. Make sure to keep all boxes “lift-friendly” when packing.

TIP #7 – ALWAYS LABEL EACH BOX

Before sealing up your moving box, make sure to label each box accordingly. This will let you know the contents of each box, very useful when unpacking and sorting boxes.

TIP #8 - ALWAYS USE PROTECTIVE/SUPPORTIVE MOVING GEAR

When moving your boxes or furniture, always wear back braces for back protection and gloves for hand protection.

TIP #9 – DISCARD OF ALL UNWANTED ITEMS

Make sure to discard all unwanted items. Break-down all excess cardboard boxes and prepare any trash or discarded items for local bulk pick-up.

TIP #10 - MAKE PACKING & MOVING FUN!

Packing and moving doesn’t have to be a pain. With strategic planning and proper help, packing and moving can be fun.

TIP #11 – SELECTING THE RIGHT SIZE BOX!

Limit your selection to two or three well constructed box sizes that can be closed, sealed and stacked. Large should be double ply constructed.
