How to Pack Your Boxes Like a Pro

Packing is one of the most important parts of a smooth move. Proper packing protects your belongings, saves time, and makes unpacking easier. Here are some expert tips from Bust a Move Moving, your trusted Montreal movers.

1. Use Quality Boxes and Materials

Invest in sturdy moving boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper. High-quality materials reduce the risk of damage and make stacking boxes safer during the move.

2. Don’t Overpack Boxes

Boxes should be heavy enough to handle, but not so heavy that they break or injure someone. Pack heavier items like books in small boxes and lighter items like linens in larger boxes.

3. Wrap Fragile Items Carefully

Use bubble wrap, packing paper, or towels to protect fragile items. Clearly label boxes as “Fragile” so the Bust a Move Moving team knows to handle them with extra care.

4. Label Everything Clearly

Include the contents and destination room on each box. This makes unloading and unpacking faster and less stressful. Color-coded labels or tape can also help identify rooms quickly.

5. Pack Essentials Separately

Create a “Day One” box with items you’ll need immediately: toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, chargers, and important documents. This prevents you from digging through dozens of boxes on your first night.

6. Use Small Spaces Wisely

Fill empty spaces in boxes with packing paper or soft items to prevent shifting during transport. Towels, blankets, and clothing can double as padding for delicate items.

Packing smart saves time, protects your belongings, and makes your move far less stressful. For a professional, efficient, and safe moving experience, trust Bust a Move Moving, your Montreal moving experts.
