Packing Tips By Big Foot Moving & Storage, Inc.

Our relocation consultants would be happy to arrange a FULL or PARTIAL packing service tailored specifically to meet your needs. If, however, you elect to do all or some of the packing yourself Big Foot Moving & Storage, Inc. has developed the following packing information to help your move go smoothly.

Although packing is primarily the application of common sense, you can realize great savings in the cost of packing and save yourself time and effort by planning and organizing in advance. Here are some general packing guidelines to follow:

  • Careful packing will prevent damage and speed up the moving process, thus saving you money.
  • Sort out the items you have been meaning to get rid of and dispose of them!
  • Separate any items of a hazardous nature such as cleaning solvents, paint, aerosol cans and ammunition. These items can NOT be moved in the truck, nor can they be stored. You may want to dispose of them or move them in your personal vehicle.
  • Be sure to use plenty of “filling” material (packing paper) to avoid items moving inside the box.
  • Begin packing well in advance. Start with items least used in your household.
  • Pack one room at a time, labeling each box with the general contents and the destination room in the new home.
  • Boxes containing fragile or high value items should be clearly marked for your mover.
  • Follow the guideline below as to what cartons to use for your belongings, and remember, the heavier the contents, the smaller the box.
  • Ensure the bottoms of the boxes are well taped to hold the contents.
  • When packing individual boxes, place the heavier items on the bottom, graduating to the lightest items on top.

Using the proper materials and moving boxes will save you time, money, and effort. The following is a list and description of the materials needed to protect your possessions when packing.
