Packing Guide

How to pack room by room with fewer surprises on move day.

Recommended supplies

Small, medium, and large boxes; packing paper; bubble wrap; tape; markers; and specialty containers for dishes and wardrobe items.

Room by room

Pack the least-used rooms first. Keep boxes at a weight you can lift comfortably. Label the top and one side with the destination room.

Fragile items

Wrap individually. Fill empty space in the box so items don't shift. Mark the box FRAGILE on multiple sides.

Essentials box

Toiletries, medications, chargers, snacks, a change of clothes, and anything else you'll need in the first 24 hours.

Items to keep with you

Valuables, important documents, keys, and hard drives should travel with you personally, not in the truck.
