How to Label Your Moving Boxes Like a Pro
You know what’s worse than unpacking? Unpacking boxes with no labels.
Here’s how to label your boxes like a pro and save your future self a lot of pain.
- Always write what room the box belongs to.
- Write it on the top and at least on one side.
- Use a thick marker. No pencil. You’re not taking a test.
- Be specific. Don't just write “stuff” or “kitchen things.” Write “plates and mugs” or “bathroom towels.”
- Bonus tip: Color code your boxes. Use red for kitchen, blue for bedroom, green for bathroom. It looks cool and it actually works.
- Mark fragile boxes clearly. Big letters. All sides.
You’ll thank yourself later. Or let "iBox Moving" do the packing and labeling for you. Follow us if you like stress-free moves.

Best Time to Move in Los Angeles – Save Money and Avoid Stress
Timing Your Move Can Make All the Difference
Moving in Los Angeles isn’t just about packing boxes — when you move can affect everything from price to parking. Here’s what iBox Moving recommends when picking your moving date.
1. Best Season to Move
Fall and Winter are usually less busy, meaning better rates and more availability. Spring is moderate, while summer (May–August) is peak season — great weather, but higher demand and pricing.
2. Best Month
The beginning and end of each month are busiest due to rental cycles. If possible, schedule your move for the middle of the month to get better deals and more flexible times.
3. Best Day of the Week
Weekdays (Monday–Thursday) are often cheaper and easier to book than weekends. If you're flexible, choose a mid-week move for the best experience.
4. Best Time of Day
Start early! Morning moves avoid LA traffic and give you more time to settle in. Movers are also fresher and more efficient at the beginning of the day.
Bonus: Weather Tips
Check the forecast — even in LA, occasional rain can cause delays. Let your movers know if there’s anything weather-sensitive so they can prepare accordingly.
Plan Ahead for the Best Results
Booking 2–4 weeks in advance ensures your preferred date and time. Need help deciding? Contact iBox Moving and we’ll help you pick the perfect time for a smooth and affordable move.
