Your Possessions Need Protection During a Move
Every moving situation is unique in any number of ways. A family may move to a new house just a few streets away in the same town, while another family may move to a new city across the state or across the country.
But even among the myriad of differing circumstances surrounding any move, some universal worries do hover above each one. One of these plaguing worries is whether your possessions will arrive at your new home in one piece or in many pieces.
The key to curbing this calamity as much as possible is adhering to proper packing procedures. When you pack your belongings in preparation for our movers, make sure that everything is secure in its proper place.
Follow These Packing Tips and Wrapping Techniques
To help you protect your valuables during a move, whether it is down the road or across the United States, our team at Clinton’s Transfer & Storage, Inc., has some advice for you. Follow these packing tips and techniques to guard against a horribly sad situation: Opening your boxes at your new home and finding one or more of your treasures in shards and pieces.
First, make sure to pack your boxes tightly, and completely fill them. If you fill your boxes, this will eliminate any open spaces where items can shift, bounce, and ultimately crack or break.
Many people especially worry about their plates during a move. Plates can be heirlooms, passed from one generation to the next. Those plates may have belonged to their mother or their grandmother, so they greatly treasure them. To protect your plates during a move, pack them vertically. This will reduce the risk of them bouncing into each other. Also, as you pack them, place paper plates between each good plate and then wrap a few plates in a bundle.
Many people use plastic totes to pack their belongings for a move. These help protect possessions because they absorb bumps and jostles on the way to your new home. When you pack your plastic totes, however, pack them as if they will be loaded upside down.
These are just a few tips and tricks to help you as you pack your things in preparation for your big move.
