Packing Checklist for Moving: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to moving, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of tasks that need to be completed. At Crown Movers, we understand the intricacies of the moving process and are committed to providing support and guidance every step of the way. That's why we've created a comprehensive packing checklist for moving, designed to help you streamline your packing process and ensure nothing is overlooked.

Bathrooms

When packing your bathrooms, remember to include all toiletries, toilet paper, toilet brushes, and other essentials in easily accessible boxes. Carefully pack odd-shaped items like lotion/shampoo bottles with pumps to avoid spilling. These items can be packed away in wardrobe boxes, suitcases, or durable garbage bags.

Furniture

Before packing your furniture, make sure to empty it of all clothing, linens, and bed covers. This will help prevent damage to your belongings during the move.

Electronics

Books and small electronics are easily packed in boxes, while TV, stereo systems, and other electronic devices should be properly wrapped in bubble wrap and carefully placed in larger boxes. Wrap lamps in bubble wrap and pack them separately in larger boxes. Pack any leftover picture frames, mirrors, and paintings as well.

Groceries and Kitchenware

Avoid doing too much grocery shopping leading up to your moving day. Instead, focus on packing food items last, so you can clear out your fridge and discard expired or perishable items. Use paper plates for the last few days before your move and pack dishes using packing paper as extra cushioning.

Special Care Items

China/glassware should be handled carefully and wrapped in packing paper or bubble wrap. You can choose to have these items moved on moving day, or transport some with you if you have a vehicle.

Large Items

If some of your belongings don't fit in boxes, they'll typically be loaded by the moving company in their truck. Garage and shed items, such as tools and outdoor equipment, can also be packed separately.

Less Frequently Used Rooms

Attics and storage rooms tend to contain infrequently used items that can be sorted through and packed next. Guest rooms usually contain less clutter, making them an easy place to start packing.

Decorations

If some paintings or mirrors are too big to fit in boxes, they can easily be transported in a car. Decorations like artwork and picture frames can be wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a box.
