Packing all your belongings is one of the most stressful parts of moving. Fortunately, packing can also allow you to get rid of the clutter to help make life in your new home simpler and more streamlined.
The best way to get started packing is to first gather all of the moving supplies you’ll need, such as boxes, packing tape bubble wrap, etc. and then pack one room at a time. At Gardner Moving, we’ve put together some general moving guidelines to help make packing easier.
Before you begin packing, one of the most important things to do is get rid of the items you no longer need. This will save you the hassle of packing, moving, and unpacking them. This will help to lighten up you’re the overall moving burden and will also make transitioning into your new home easier.
Label Boxes by Room and Contents
This tip will help keep you organized rather than scrambling to find your items when it comes time to unpack. Make sure you write legibly and clearly label all boxes by the room they belong in and by their contents.

Pack a bag or a box full of the essentials that you can keep handy throughout the move. This box should include items such as:
