Moving can feel overwhelming, but with the right preparation and a trusted moving partner, it doesn’t have to be. At A Mother’s Touch Movers, we’ve been helping Melbourne, FL families move for over 30 years. Our family-owned and operated company knows the importance of a seamless moving process, and we’re here to share our expertise! Here are ten packing tips to make your move as smooth as possible.
Start Early
When it comes to moving, procrastination is your worst enemy. Start packing weeks before your move to avoid last-minute stress. Begin with non-essential items like seasonal clothes, décor, or rarely used kitchen gadgets. The earlier you start, the more manageable the process will feel.
Pro Tip: Not sure where to start? Our team at A Mother’s Touch Movers can help guide you through the packing process so nothing gets left behind.
Declutter Before Packing
Moving is the perfect opportunity to simplify your life. Before you pack, sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or discard. Less stuff means fewer boxes to pack—and unpack!
Why It Matters: Over the years, we’ve seen how decluttering not only saves time and money but also makes moving into your new space feel like a fresh start.
Gather High-Quality Packing Supplies
Your belongings deserve the best protection, so invest in sturdy boxes, heavy-duty tape, bubble wrap, and labels. Reusable bins and biodegradable materials are great eco-friendly options too.
Need Supplies? Ask us for recommendations or let us take care of it for you. We’ve got the tools and know-how to keep your items safe and secure.
Pack Room by Room
Packing room by room helps you stay organized and prevents unnecessary chaos. Start with areas you use the least, like guest rooms or storage spaces, and save high-traffic areas for last.
Fun Fact: At A Mother’s Touch Movers, we’ve handled everything from compact apartments to sprawling estates. No matter the size, our team is equipped to manage moves of any complexity.
Label Everything Clearly
You’ll thank yourself later for labeling each box with details like the room it belongs to and its contents. Want to take it up a notch? Use color-coded labels or stickers for quick identification.
Our Promise: When you move with us, we make sure every box is delivered to the correct room so you can unpack without a headache.
Protect Fragile Items
Fragile items need extra care during a move. Wrap them in bubble wrap, packing paper, or even soft clothing for added cushioning. Pack these items tightly so they don’t shift during transit.
Peace of Mind: As Melbourne’s licensed, bonded, and insured moving company, we handle your delicate possessions as if they were our own.
Pack a “First-Night Essentials” Box
Set aside a box with essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, medications, snacks, and basic kitchen items. This will save you from rummaging through boxes when you’re exhausted after moving day.
Extra Tip: Think of this box as your survival kit for the first 24 hours in your new home.
Avoid Overpacking Boxes
Overloaded boxes can break or cause injuries. Keep each box under 50 pounds to ensure they’re easy to lift and transport.
We’ve Got This: Our professionally trained movers are experts at safely handling heavy or awkward items, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Take Photos Before Disassembling
Before taking apart furniture or electronics, snap photos of how they’re set up. This will make reassembly so much easier when you’re settling into your new place.
Leave the Heavy Lifting to Us: At A Mother’s Touch Movers, we handle reassembly services too—saving you time and effort.
Hire Professional Packers (If Needed)
Sometimes, life is too busy to handle packing yourself. That’s where professional packing services come in. Experts ensure your items are securely packed and ready to go, giving you one less thing to stress about.
