THREE MOST IMPORTANT PACKING TIPS
1. Use Certified Moving Boxes to Save Money on Your Move & Protect Your Valuables
Movers are faster and more efficient when they are moving a home that is packed with "certified moving boxes." The reason is these moving boxes are designed for moving, and designed to be stacked on moving trucks.
Certified moving boxes stack more efficiently on the truck/dolly without crushing,and thereby require a smaller moving truck, and/or fewer trips back and forth from your home to the moving truck. The end result is movers are much faster because they can stack without creating damage.
Using certified size moving boxes and you will save you time and money on the cost of your move.
2. Fill Your Moving Boxes to the Top and Fill in the Gaps with Newspaper
Always fill moving boxes to the top in order to maintain their strength while moving and storing. If there are any gaps, fill them with crumpled newspaper. This will make a huge difference in protecting your belongings. A moving box is much stronger when filled completely. The reason is that moving boxes are stacked on top of each other and when they are filled to the top, then there is no compression of the box, which helps it maintain it’s integrity.
3. Why the “All Purpose Moving Box” is the Most Important Box for Moving
Many people believe that the bigger the moving box the better, when the opposite is actually true. If boxes are too large filled with heavy things, most moving companies will not even move them.
The “All Purpose Moving Box” 1.5 cubic size is the most important box for moving. The reason is the All Purpose moving box was carefully designed for moving. It is large and deep enough to hold big bulky items like photo albums, yet small enough that your belongings will not be rotating around inside of the box, thereby creating unecessary damage.
Also, the All Purpose Moving Box size was designed so it is difficult to overload the moving box making it too heavy. When packed completely, movers can quickly and easily lift the All Purpose Moving Boxes, and stack several of them on a dolly or moving truck. Movers are much faster when they can quickly and easily stack moving boxes on top of each other.
Lastly, the All Purpose Moving Box was designed so there is less of a chance that belongings will move around inside. The less movement inside of your moving box, the more protected your valuables will be during a move. Using the All Purpose Moving Box, the contents of your boxes are less likely to move around inside.
