Packing Like a Pro: How to Keep Your Belongings Safe During Your Move

Packing may seem simple, but doing it right is the key to ensuring your belongings arrive safely at your new home. If you’re planning to pack yourself, taking the proper steps can help prevent damage—but for the best protection, hiring professionals like Boerman Moving and Storage is always the safest bet.

How to Pack Like a Pro

📦 Use Quality Packing Materials – Sturdy boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and strong tape are essential. Avoid flimsy boxes that could collapse under pressure.

🔄 Wrap and Cushion Fragile Items – Glassware, dishes, and electronics need extra padding. Wrap each item individually and use crumpled paper or bubble wrap to fill empty spaces in the box.

📍 Label Boxes Clearly – Mark fragile items and indicate which side should face up. This helps movers (and you) handle boxes with care.

📚 Pack Heavy Items on the Bottom – When packing boxes, place heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top to prevent shifting.

🚛 Don’t Overpack Boxes – Boxes that are too heavy can break or be difficult to move. Keep them manageable to avoid damage and injury.
