TIPS FOR TRANSPORTING AND PACKING IN A MOVE

In a move, transport and packaging are important aspects, since it depends on these that our objects arrive in good condition. This week we give you a series of valuable tips to make your packaging much easier and offer maximum protection to your belongings.

Initial packing steps

First of all, wrap the objects separately, using bubble wrap for fragile materials such as crystal, porcelain or glass. From there, pack the objects that you do not use so that during the move you do not miss anything and you can use belongings such as clothes or some hygiene products.

How to organize the contents of the boxes?

The first basic principle in packing a move is that heavy items such as books should be placed in small boxes. Lightweight items, such as sheets and pillows, in larger boxes.

It is advisable to use duct tape seals to close the top and bottom seams, and then follow one of the moving company techniques, looping around the top and bottom edges of the box where there is the greatest tension and this eliminates the expansion of the boxes.

When you put the objects in the boxes, try to label them so that later you will know what is inside the boxes and, if it is fragile, label it to avoid serious damage.

Attention to the dishes

When we put the plates in the boxes, it is vital to place wrapping paper around each unit, then wrap the packs of five or six by adding more paper. It is essential that the dishes are not packed horizontally. Also, a large amount of top and bottom compacted paper is needed. On the other hand, the glasses can be put one inside the other, with paper between them, and wrapped three or four in the same package.

Other useful tips for a successful move

On the furniture, it is advisable to remove the removable parts of the same to help its transfer and avoid possible mishaps. Also, keep screws and other small pieces of furniture. In turn, pack the largest disassembled parts in the boxes and mark them with the name to know where the parts are.

As for televisions, we must bear in mind that it is not enough to wrap them in padded furniture pads. The plasma TVs need specific wooden boxes for transport. It is vital to place it in a double box, putting the box that contains the television in a different one that is filled with packing paper.
