Do not pack unnecessary items<\/h3><p>Go through your belongings before the move and decide what you want to keep, recycle, or throw away. This way, you avoid transporting unnecessary items to your new home.<\/p><h3>2. Plan a move to a smaller home<\/h3><p>If you are moving to a smaller apartment, go through your cupboards and storage spaces well in advance. Choose the most important items to take with you and consider storage space for those you do not need daily.<\/p><h3>3. Sort items by category<\/h3><p>Pack items of the same category together. For example, if you use towels to protect dishes, label the box with both contents.<\/p><h3>4. Label boxes clearly<\/h3><p>Write the contents of the moving boxes clearly with a permanent marker. This way, you will easily find the items you need even after the move.<\/p><h3>5. Label boxes by room<\/h3><p>Write on each box which room it belongs to in the new home. This way, the boxes end up in the right place immediately, and unpacking becomes easier.<\/p><h3>6. Label boxes going into storage<\/h3><p>If some of your items are moving to a storage unit, label the boxes carefully. Also, think about what you will need first and place these boxes where they are easily accessible.<\/p><h3>7. Avoid vague markings<\/h3><p>Do not just write &#8220;miscellaneous&#8221; on the box. Label the contents as accurately as possible, especially if the box will remain in storage for a longer period.<\/p><h3>8. Choose durable moving boxes<\/h3><p>Use sturdy and high-quality moving boxes. Banana boxes may not withstand the stresses of moving as well as boxes designed for the purpose.<\/p><h3>9. Do not pack boxes too heavily<\/h3><p>Pack heavy items, such as books, in smaller boxes. It is advisable to combine lighter items in larger boxes to make them easier to carry.<\/p><h3>10. Pack boxes evenly<\/h3><p>Fill moving boxes evenly so they can be stacked safely. Ensure that the boxes close properly and that items cannot move during transport.<\/p><h3>11. Reserve enough time for packing<\/h3><p>Start packing well in advance. Pack the items you do not need daily first, and leave the most important everyday items for last.<\/p><h3>12. Unpack items directly into their places<\/h3><p>When you arrive at your new home, aim to unpack items directly into their correct places. This way, you avoid temporary piles of stuff, and the new home feels ready sooner.<\/p><h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Make moving easier with Pelican storage space<\/h3><p>During a move, everything does not always need to be moved directly to the new home.
