Packing is often the most time-consuming part of moving. Start by gathering high-quality packing materials like sturdy cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and moving blankets. When packing furniture, always disassemble larger pieces when possible and wrap the fragile corners in protective padding. Boxes should be packed with heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on top. Never over-pack a box; it increases the risk of the box breaking during transit.
