Packing Checklist
Pack smarter, not harder: start with rarely used areas, use a clear labeling system, and build “Open First” boxes for each room.
Supplies
- Boxes: small/medium/large, dish packs, wardrobe boxes
- Packing paper, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, moving blankets
- Tape gun + 2–3 rolls of packing tape, box cutter
- Color stickers/tape + thick markers, pre-printed room labels
- Zip-top bags for hardware/cords; cable ties; mattress bags; dollies
Quick Rules
Heaviest items in small boxes; light bulky items in large. Label three sides with room + contents + box number. Keep “Do Not Pack” and “Open First” clearly marked.
- Pack by zone; start with least-used spaces.
- Photograph electronics/furniture; bag and label hardware.
