How to Pack for a Move – Smart Tips from iBox Moving

Packing is one of the most important parts of any move — and doing it right can save time, money, and stress. At iBox Moving, we’ve helped thousands of families and businesses pack efficiently and safely. Here’s how to do it like a pro.

1. Start Early and Stay Organized

Begin packing at least 2–3 weeks before your move. Label boxes clearly with room names and contents. Keep similar items together and avoid mixing rooms in one box.

2. Use High-Quality Supplies

Invest in sturdy boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and strong tape. Avoid grocery store boxes — they’re often too weak or dirty. Ask us if you need supplies — we’ve got plenty.

3. Pack Room-by-Room

Start with rooms you use the least, like guest bedrooms or storage areas. Save daily essentials for last and keep a “first-night box” with things like toiletries, chargers, and snacks.

4. Protect Fragile Items

Wrap glassware, dishes, and electronics with care. Use bubble wrap, towels, or clothes as cushioning. Clearly mark boxes with fragile items.

5. Don’t Overpack

Keep box weight under 50 lbs whenever possible. Heavy items like books should go in smaller boxes; lighter items like bedding can go in large ones.

How To Prepare answered by iBox Moving experts

How to Prepare for Your Move – FAQs from iBox Moving

How Should I Prepare for Moving Day?

Good preparation makes your move smoother, faster, and more stress-free. Whether you're packing yourself or using our services, a few simple steps can make a big difference.

General Prep Tips

  • Finish Packing Before Movers Arrive: Have boxes taped, labeled, and ready to go (unless you’ve booked our packing service).
  • Label Boxes Clearly: Indicate contents and destination room — e.g., “Kitchen – Fragile.”
  • Reserve Elevators or Parking: If you live in an apartment or high-rise, notify building management ahead of time.
  • Disconnect Appliances: Unplug washers, dryers, and refrigerators in advance.
  • Secure Pets and Kids: Keep them safely out of the way during the move for their safety and the crew’s.

Furniture Prep

  • Remove items from drawers to avoid shifting during transport
  • Disassemble beds and desks ahead of time (if you prefer to save time)
  • Take photos of complex setups (TV wiring, shelving, etc.) for easy reassembly

Valuables and Essentials

  • Keep jewelry, cash, documents, and laptops with you
  • Pack an “Essentials Box” with items you'll need right away — chargers, clothes, toiletries, etc.

What If I'm Not Fully Ready?

No problem — just let us know. We can help with packing, furniture disassembly, and more. It may affect timing, but we’ll make it work.
