1) Cardboard boxes are a staple for moving since they’re generally quite normal sized, convenient to carry and if taped together properly, rarely break apart. Regular sizes are essential for making the most of your van space and making sure you aren’t wasting areas in your transport that may rather be filled. On the other hand, bags can be compacted everywhere! It’s possible however for bags to be mistaken for junk.
2) Bags are fantastic for stuff like clothing, and bedding, and once you’ve ran out of boxes to pack anything. Teddies and soft toys work properly in bags – edged objects, or things that are usually too heavy to transport in a plastic bag would almost certainly work better in boxes. Bags also work well with bed linens.
3) Whilst packing, it’s imperative that you take full advantage of space – and pack your biggest things first, and fill space around them. Books are least difficult to pack, odd designed, uneasy items such as ornaments and other items are the toughest to pack, and both types should go in boxes, as well as dishes and other objects that are thought to be fragile.
4) Mark all boxes and bags (when you can) cautiously – it makes them easier to find things in, and to sort into locations without needing to break them open. This may all help in your new house. Never forget to mark bags you use for belongings clearly so that they don’t get mistaken for garbage – or buy very different bags for your garbage and your items.
5) While it may only take you a couple of weeks to pack, it can take eight weeks – or more to unpack at the other end – so though you’re ‘just boxing items up for a couple of days’ remember that you may not find it for up to two months, or perhaps more.
