Packing with Care

The key to a successful move is packing your items with care. You'll find the minor expense of buying quality packing supplies worth your while – especially when you consider the cost of repairing or replacing broken and damaged belongings.

We recommend you order packing supplies from ABF U-Pack and get most of the items on this packing list delivered right to your door!

General Packing

• Packing as much as you can into every box helps protect your items - less space to move around means less damage. Plus, boxes are easier to load than unusual shaped items not packed in boxes.
• Start packing a few weeks before your or schedule us a few weeks before your move date and take it one room at a time. Start with packing the things you use less frequently – such as books and knick knacks – and save packing the “every day” items until the end.
• Pack each room in separate boxes and label each box with its contents.
• Reinforce the bottom of all boxes with packing tape. Fill each box to its capacity, using paper or fillers to eliminate empty spaces. The top and sides of each box shouldn’t bulge or cave in when closed.
• Packing heavy items in small boxes keeps the weight of the boxes at a manageable level. This is especially helpful when you’re packing books.
• Leave light weight linens and clothing in their drawers.
• Packing extra linens, pillows and stuffed animals in large garbage bags is a great idea! These bags can be used as cushions or fillers in your moving trailer or ReloCube.
• Disassemble any items you can. Be aware of items with sharp corners or projections and keep them from puncturing or scratching other objects.
• Pack your valuables and essentials separately and plan on keeping these items with you.

Packing Furniture

• Wrap furniture with furniture pads or Bubble Wrap. When securing padding to your furniture, do not use tape directly on wood or painted surfaces.
• Remove legs from furniture if possible. Place wing nuts or screws in envelopes or plastic bags and tape to the underside of furniture.
• Coat fine wood furnishings with wax to protect against scratches.
• Place sofa cushions and pillows in bags to use as pads or fillers in the moving truck . pod . container , storage unit , relocube or ABF Trailer .
• Move dressers with contents in drawers to avoid packing again. Secure drawers to keep from opening during transit.
• Consider hiring our packing specialists for packing and loading.
