Moving to a new place? Those nerves are surely jangling, aren’t they? Well obviously they are! It is natural to feel that way when you are entering into an unknown territory. Besides, the complexity of the tasks associated with moving do nothing to calm your nerves, especially the packing part! If you are one of those who fret over packing, here’s some good news for you - we are about to share some easy to execute hacks that would uncomplicate packing and make it feel like a walk in the park! Read on to find out from Glovve Relocation service providers in India - http://www.glovve.com/india/ what these hacks are and understand how they would work.
Segregate your stuff
Pack your stuff in a way that it is easier to locate where each item should go when unpacked. Segregate them according to the room they belong to. Then divide them further in smaller segments such as wardrobe, dining table, etc. you could colour-code the boxes to help identify the segments or just simply write it down with a marker. This would ensure that you are not running helter skelter from room to room on your first day at your new house.
Protect your breakables
What’s your worst moving day nightmare? Breaking something valuable, right? So pay extra attention to your breakables when you pack them. Cover the fragile items with bubble wraps or clothes. Using clothes for wrapping (for example, wrapping drinking glasses with socks, glass crockery with towels, etc) serves a dual purpose. Not only does it keep your breakables intact but it also allows you to pack your clothes without wasting an extra carton for them. Talk about killing two birds with a stone!
Smart packing is the key
As it often is the case in life, smart work yields better results than hard work. Pack smartly and you would understand why. Avoid keeping delicate items along with the heavy ones. If at all you do, make sure you keep the delicate stuff at the top or be prepared for a disaster. Also, avoid cramming too much stuff in too little space. The quantity of the cartons doesn’t matter as much as their individual weight.

Take pictures of everything
Before you get to packing, take pictures of every corner of your house. No, not to create a pictorial memory out of it but to understand and get a visual reminder of where each item was placed. It would also help you decode the puzzle that all the cords and wires of electronic items often create. You won’t have to figure out which cord goes in to which socket; just take a look at the picture and you would know where.
Pack all priority items in one carton
Most of us make the mistake of packing stuff without realising that we would need some of them as soon as we reach our new abode. And when that moment arrives, you are left scratching your head! The best way to avoid this scenario is to dedicate a carton for priority items. Also make sure that you label that carton accordingly.
Ensure your cartons are sturdy
Imagine a situation where your carton gives way halfway through the moving process. That’s a nightmare if ever there was one! So reinforce the bottoms of each one of your cartons with strong packing tapes and ensure that they are sturdy enough to last the duration.
Pack books in wheeled suitcases
Books are tricky items to pack. Their small size goads us into packing all of them in one box, but only when we lift that carton do we realise how stupid that step was. For their small frame, books are actually quite heavy. Lifting a big carton full of books could well turn into a backbreaking mishap. The best way to pack them is by placing them in a wheeled suitcase. All you would need to move them is a little bit of arm strength; which is a far better proposition than carrying them on your back, isn’t it?
