• When packing make sure that all heavy items such as books, chinawares etc are boxed using a medium sized box of about 450mmX390mmX350mm.Meanwhile if you are packing your clothes the large box will be preferable.
• Bubble wrap all fragile items including your flat screen TV if the box is no longer available.
• Shrink wrap all furniture or mattress. If you have a cover for your mattress that will be much better.
• Heavy items should be at the bottom then lighter ones come at the top. If you have newspapers or little foams it can be used to cushion it in order to prevent any damages. For large artwork wrap it in duvets or moving blankets. If you do not a moving blanket you can use your normal blanket.
• Take pictures of your electronics before you unplug.

Color Code and Label

For a simple labeling system pick a color for each room and label what is in the boxes. At the new apartment label the door with the corresponding tape or perhaps name so that each mover will be able to locate where each box or item belongs. You can even number the boxes just in case of theft.

Book moving truck

Move day and Checklist

Prior to your move day you could quickly go to the new apartment to do a move-in cleaning. It could be a day before your move day so that you do not add more stress to yourself.

Moving is not a one man’s job so if you have friends or relatives you could call on them for help. Make sure you organize them in twos so that each pair handles each room. And have two persons to be in the truck so that they could load it.
