In the middle of shifting into your new apartment,
you’ll have many things going on in your mind related to shifting your new home
to an apartment, and you would have listed your to-do list for the packing
for your apartment. It is not the case to worry about if you start packing
your things pretty earlier before you move. But, it will become a problem if
you don’t start it early. Given below are some of the tips to help you prepare
for your move.
1. Keep the stock of empty boxes ready
The first and foremost thing
that you must do is to stock up the boxes of different sizes at your home for
packing up of your belongings. These boxes can be made up of cardboards or
plastic ones. This will only help you starting your packing earlier before you
move into your new apartment. As a matter of suggestion, one can pile up the
desired boxes from about three to four weeks before you move into your new
apartments. There is also no issue as to from where you will be getting the
boxes. You can simply take as many boxes from different grocery stores of you
area, as they would be throwing them out if not in use. You can ask your family
and friends too for the unused boxes they are having.
2. Don’t forget to collect other packing materials
While the boxes areessentialfor packing your stuff for
the move, don’t forget to collect other useful packing equipments that’ll make the
whole thing easier for you and your shifting into your new apartment. Items
like Bubble wrap, plastic peanuts, foam, newspaper and old magazines are wonderful
when you are packing up the delicate items of your home. Packing tapes like the
duct tape for taping up the boxes once they’re full, scissors, garment bags
formoving theironed clothes etc are also items of necessity. If you are
still unsure about items which you will need before you move, you can take the
help and opinion of your friends who have shifted recently about the items they
found useful during their move.
3. Kick start yourpacking as early as possible
Don’t take the packing for granted that you think to
start your packing three to four days before you move as it can be stressful
for you. If you are a working person, make sure to start your packing at least
three weeks before you move. Make sure to pack your stuff daily at least for
one hour until you move into your new apartment. Start your packing
with items that are not currently in use or you will not be using them in near
future. Like, you can pack your woolens and boots if you are moving into
your new apartment in the summer and vice versa.
4. Make sure to pack alike items together
Apart from packing your items room wise, also try to
pack items of similar nature together in one box, as they are likely to go into
the same place of your new apartment. As for an example, if you are
packing up your living room, pack all clothes in the same box. If you are
packing up your bathroom, pack all toiletries like soaps, shampoos, cleansers,
cleaners and other similar items together in one box. This will not only help
you in keeping your things in an organized fashion but it will also make it
easy for you at the time when the things are being unpacked at your new
apartment.
5. Mark your boxes carefully
When you start packing your belongings, make sure that
every box that is being packed is properly organized. Every box must be labeled
with different labels from different rooms. Labeling your boxes will help your
movers in keeping the right box at the right place of your new apartment. It
will also be easier for you in arranging your items in new apartment. You
can also label your boxes for the fragile items so that the movers or the
friends who are helping you move into your apartment get to know to be extra
careful while carrying the fragile items.
6. Place heavy weight items below light weight items
If you wish to safeguard your items make sure that
while loading the truck, all heavy weight items are kept below the light weight
items. Also be selective while selecting the boxes. Always keep small size
boxes for heavier items while the large boxes must be used for packing up your
light weight items.
7. Pad up your
items
Don’t forget to pad up your delicate items with
papers, or clothes like towels and bed sheets. This will help in safeguarding
the delicate items from any kind of breakage.
Following these tips, you can shift your home easily
in to any apartment.
