✅ Smart Packing for Long Distance Moves

1. Start Packing Early

Packing always takes more time than expected. Begin at least a few weeks in advance, starting with non-essentials like books, décor, and off-season clothes.

2. Use Quality Packing Materials

Don’t rely on flimsy supermarket boxes. For a long-distance move, strong, double-walled boxes are a must. Protect fragile items with bubble wrap, foam, or packing paper.

3. Label Every Box Clearly

Use bold markers and write:

• Room destination (e.g., Kitchen)

• Contents (Pots & Pans)

• Fragile? Mark it clearly.

This helps both you and your movers handle and unpack more efficiently.

4. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items

Wheeled suitcases are perfect for books, kitchenware, or tools. They’re sturdy and easy to move, reducing strain and potential injuries.

5. Keep Important Documents With You

Don’t pack passports, medical records, or moving contracts in boxes. Carry these essentials in a personal bag you’ll have access to throughout the move.

6. Don’t Overload the Truck

Whether you’re loading yourself or hiring professionals, remember: heavier boxes on the bottom, lighter on top. Overloaded or unevenly packed trucks risk damage during long journeys.
