1. Use What You Already Have
Pack items in suitcases, laundry baskets, and storage bins. No need to buy extra boxes for everything.
2. Leave Clothes in Drawers
If your dresser isn't too heavy, leave soft items inside. Just wrap the whole dresser in plastic.
3. Use Garbage Bags for Hanging Clothes
Cut a hole for hangers in the bottom of a bag. Your clothes stay organized and protected.
4. Pack Plates Vertically
Like records, plates survive better standing up. They're less likely to break.
5. Use Socks for Glasses
Slip wine glasses and fragile items into socks for cushioning. Two birds, one stone!
6. Wrap Breakables in Clothing
Sweaters, towels, and t-shirts make excellent padding—and you're packing them anyway.
7. Take Photos of Electronics
Before disconnecting TVs and stereos, photograph the cable setup. Reconnection will be easy.
8. Use Egg Cartons for Jewelry
Small compartments keep earrings, rings, and small items organized and protected.
9. Rubber Band Bottles
Prevent leaks by unscrewing lids, covering openings with plastic wrap, then screwing lids back on. Add rubber bands for extra security.
10. Color-Code by Room
Assign each room a color. Use colored tape or markers on boxes for quick identification during unloading.
