A Guide To Removalist Packing

Removalists possess the training and experience for packing correctly making them the best people to prepare, wrap and pack your items when you move. You may, however, choose to do your own packing for few of your items, following this Townsville moving specialist advice.

Reason for packing

Packing provides protection for fragile and delicate items while moving. Removalists suggest wrapping and securing every box utilizing the same thoroughness and care required for sending parcels.

Packing enables several articles to be carried together, which makes it easy for Townsville removalists to do their job safely and efficiently. Boxes that are improperly packed may be hard to lift or stack properly in the moving van.

Packing tips

1. Start packing weeks in advance, not later than 2 weeks before the big move. This permits you to complete packing and store delicate items safely.

2. Prepare packing materials like stout boxes with lids or overlapping flaps, clean wrapping paper, strong adhesive tape, bin liners, labels and markers.

3. Pack items one room at a time, labeling boxes with a general description of it’s contents and indicating the room they’ll go into at your new home.

4. Stack boxes as they are filled to free up space to work on.

5. Use cardboard boxes with a minimum size of 1 cubic meter, taking care not to pack more than what one individual can lift. If you’re hiring removalists, you could arrange for packing materials to be delivered, as well as special wooden crates and injected polystyrene moulding for delicate items.

6. Close and tape boxes from the top, making sure that these are full, without sticking out, to enable stacking. Use wide adhesive packing tape, not masking tape, to seal openings and cover the full-length of the carton’s seams.

7. Use plastic crates that may be stacked.

8. Pack soft items such as towels, linens, blankets, and soft toys in strong plastic bin liners that have to be tied at the top.

9. Wrap fragile items to provide a layer of air around it to act as a cushion. Use crumpled paper under the bottom layer and in between layer also, and marking boxes containing delicate items appropriately.

10. Clothes needn’t be packed as these could remain in drawers provided a towel, sheet or similar material is tucked in around the edges.

Removalists still offer the best and safest means to pack your belongings and stack them in the moving van. They also provide particular packing solutions that you may need for delicate and valuable items.
