Packing Tips
- Label every box on all four sides and the top with room name and contents.
- Keep small boxes under 30 lbs — fill them with heavy items, not large ones.
- Start packing non-essential rooms (guest room, storage) at least 2 weeks before moving day.
- Order 10-15% more boxes than estimated — it is always easier to return extras than to scramble for more.
