“It is better to look ahead and prepare than look back and regret.” When you are planning to move with your family, make sure your family is not suffering enough for that matter. Making your move stress-free, you can call the professional movers but to do all these, you need to make proper plans for each step beforehand. There are probably many stuffs, which are no more in use and you do not want to haul them along too. To put a substantial end to those items, hold a garage sale or conduct charity program.

Way to get prepared:

  • Planning is required for whatever you think implement. The not-very-often usable items need to be packed first.
  • Your packing must be started as soon as you finalize your move.
  • Packing combustible and especially non-permissible items would not be worth trying.
  • If you are working with professional movers, then you should not be worrying, but if you are packing all by yourself, you must take care of certain factors. For example, to provide cushion to your expensive items, you better use generous amount of papers or clothes on the top and bottom of the packing boxes.
  • Label each and every box with the names of contents and places they are to be installed.
  • Keep close eye, especially on the boxes of your delicate items.
  • Label your boxes containing important items of kitchen, washrooms and etc with “Open First.”
  • Do not keep breakable and non-breakable items together.
    Make sure you have fastened all the cartons tightly.
  • It would be better if you use professional tapes for that matter.

Extra care for china
There are dish barrel cartons available in wide range of size and shape to fit any of your china wrapping needs. Get them and put your china set into those dish barrel cartons only. Before you start hauling them, make sure you have definitely put paper sheets on top and bottom of the cartons to provide cushions to the items. Before you put them finally into the barrel cartons, wrap each item individually and make a bundle with three layers of paper in order to consolidate them. Make sure you have got some crushed papers to fill any gap (if left) between the bundles and not to make them clash.
Simple packing of silver
Silver comes nested together. All you have to do is put in cushioned silver chest and then wrap that chest with clean paper.
Attentive packing of stemware
Just like your china, you have to pack your stemware individually and then offer them safety with paper popped in the goblet as well as around the stem. Make sure, your goblets are cushioned with solid wrapping papers and place them in particularly tiered Dishpak.
These are a few but very indispensable steps you are advised to follow strictly or else you could incur huge loss. To save your assets from being broken or lost, make sure you and your movers are familiar to the House Move Guide.
