The Golden Rules of Packing

1. Declutter Before You Start: The less you move, the less you have to pack. Before you even touch a box, go through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or discard. This not only saves you time and money but also makes your new space feel fresh and organised from day one.

2. Use High-Quality Materials: Invest in sturdy, double-walled moving boxes for heavier items and fragile goods. Use unprinted wrapping paper, bubble wrap, and packing tape (not masking tape) to protect your items. For extra security, consider mattress and furniture covers to guard against dust and scuffs.

3. Pack Room by Room: This is a crucial tip for staying organized. Start with the least-used rooms, like a guest bedroom or garage, and label each box clearly with the room it belongs to and a brief description of its contents. This will make unpacking at your new home infinitely easier.

Wrapping Your Valuables

• Fragile Items: Wrap each delicate item individually in bubble wrap or packing paper. Place a layer of bubble wrap at the bottom of the box for cushioning and fill any empty spaces with crumpled paper to prevent items from shifting in transit. Always mark these boxes "Fragile" in large, clear letters.

• Furniture: Use furniture blankets and shrink wrap to protect larger items like tables, dressers, and sofas. For items with removable parts, such as table legs, disassemble them and tape them securely to the main piece, or place them in a labeled bag inside a designated "hardware" box.

• Electronics: Keep original boxes if you have them, as they are designed to protect the item perfectly. If not, use anti-static bubble wrap and ensure all cables are neatly bundled and labeled. Store these in a separate box and mark it clearly.

By following these expert tips, you can ensure your interstate move with Sydney Interstate Backloaders is as efficient and safe as possible. Happy moving!
