Are you considering moving? If you are thinking about moving, then you should really think about the next steps. Those steps don’t just involve renting a mover, or a Uhaul, they involve how to pack properly. Here are some moving tips for packing in Apopka.  If you’re an Apopka, Florida resident or will soon be moving to Apopka, here are some great moving tips for you to use to help get you in your new home, or apartment and nicely settled.

1. Organize Your Belongings

Here is one of the most important moving tips for packing in Apopka: packing doesn’t have to be hard. It can be easy. The first thing you need to think about is organization. If you’ve decided to use boxes and to do your own packing, you should separate your belongings.  Organize your items by their likeness. Foodstuff should be with foodstuff; appliances with appliances; toiletries with toiletries. If you organize things by rooms, it makes it so much easier to keep your things together when packing.

2. Buy Boxes of All Shapes

Make sure that you have properly sized boxes that can easily hold items. You want to not skimp and buy cheap boxes. You want durable boxes that can withstand traveling to your new home or apartment. If you purchase cheap boxes, these may easily break or become damaged during the moving process, potentially harming your personal belongings.

3. Label boxes

You don’t need to purchase a label maker, but having boxes that are properly labeled will help you. It’s much easier to use permanent markers than a label maker (and cheaper). You will want to label all sides of the boxes so when moving you don’t misplace the wrong box because the label is obscured.  You can create a “label code” which can help you determine where the box should be placed in your new home or apartment. For example, you can put on your box filled with kitchen appliances “kitchen appliances.” Creativity is not the name of the game here; stick with location and like-items to make packing easier.

4. Know What You Can’t Pack

This is important. Know exactly what you can’t pack. Obviously, you don’t want to pack a kitten or puppy in a box, you will want to keep them with you in your car. Pet safety first, please! But other things that you can’t pack may not be that obvious or easy to sort out. Some common items that can’t be shipped because they are hazardous and should not end up in a mover’s van are the following: ammunition and guns; charcoal; bleach or ammonia; fertilizer; lighter fluid; pesticides and poisons; and more.

5. Use a Professional Mover

Moving takes tact and knowledge to prevent your things from being harmed. Do you have what it takes to move all of your belongings without professional help? You may, but why waste time when a professional mover can make moving more efficient, easier, and faster for you. If you want your move to go well, contact a mover who can professionally help you.  A mover will not only have all the packing supplies you need but will have the experience to ensure that your packed things are moved safely.  Hire a professional moving company in Apopka that can do the packing for you. There are quite a few packing companies who will pack up your things no problem, but only a handful will do it in style, and only one will do it with efficiency in mind. And that’s Advanced Moving service.  If you have questions, you can always call a moving expert like Advanced Moving Service at (407) 880-4515.
