Do You Feel Confident About How to Pack Everything for Your Move?
Packing doesn’t have to be chaos. With the right method, materials, and mindset, it can be a structured and even satisfying part of your move.
At Light Rock Removals, we’ve helped countless families and individuals pack smart and we’re happy to share our formula.
Getting Started
The golden rule? Start early. Ideally, begin packing 2–3 weeks before your move.
What You’ll Need:
- Sturdy boxes (small for books, large for light items)
- Packing tape and a tape gun
- Bubble wrap and packing paper
- Thick markers and labels
- Furniture covers and dust sheets
What to Pack First:
Start with things you won’t need in the coming weeks: - Seasonal clothes - Spare bedding and towels - Books, decor, and ornaments - Unused kitchenware
How to Pack:
- Room by room: This keeps things manageable.
- Label everything: Include the room and a list of contents.
- Heaviest items at the bottom of boxes.
- Don’t overload: If it’s heavy, split it into two boxes.
The Essentials Box
Pack one ‘day one’ box with: - Toiletries - Kettle, mugs, tea bags - Charging cables - Medications - Toilet paper
