At All My Sons in Jacksonville, we know that packing up your home for a big move can take a lot of time and energy, especially if you want to be prepared before the Jacksonville movers truck shows up. With plenty of years of experience, we know that planning ahead and being as organized as possible can really make moving less of an ordeal. Here are some tips to help you pack efficiently.

Make a Packing Station

Get all of your packing supplies together in one designated space in your home so that you are ready to pack anything and everything at a moment’s notice. Boxes, packing paper, scissors, and tape should all be close at hand so that you aren’t looking for things last minute and becoming frustrated.

Pack Each Room into One Box

While you may require more than one box per room, making sure that everything ends up in a labeled box with help you and your Jacksonville movers know right where to put things. You can save yourself a lot of time when you unpack if you organize your boxes by room. Instead of wandering around your whole house putting things away, you can put labeled boxes right where they belong.

Pack a Box to Open First

A small box that can be filled with all the essentials that you will need immediately upon arrival can help to make the experience more pleasant. Consider packing a special treat to reward yourself for being so organized.
