How to Pack Before Moving?

Moving can be a daunting task, especially when it involves transporting your belongings across borders, such as from Singapore to Malaysia or vice versa. Proper packing is crucial to ensure that your items arrive safely at your new home. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to pack before moving.

1. Start Early

Begin packing well in advance of your moving date. This will help reduce last-minute stress and allow you to pack methodically. Aim to start packing at least a month before your move.

2. Declutter Your Space

Before you start packing, take the time to declutter. Sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or discard. This will not only make packing easier but also reduce the volume of items to be moved, potentially lowering your moving costs.

3. Gather Packing Supplies

Ensure you have all the necessary packing supplies, including:

• Sturdy boxes in various sizes
• Bubble wrap and packing paper
• Packing tape and scissors
• Markers for labeling
• Furniture blankets and covers

4. Pack Room by Room

To stay organized, pack one room at a time. Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will make unpacking at your new home much easier.

5. Use Proper Packing Techniques

For fragile items, use bubble wrap or packing paper to provide cushioning. Place heavier items at the bottom of boxes and lighter ones on top. Fill any empty spaces with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to prevent items from shifting during transport.

6. Pack an Essentials Box

Pack a box with essential items you'll need immediately upon arrival at your new home, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, important documents, and basic kitchen supplies. Keep this box easily accessible.

7. Protect Your Furniture

Disassemble large furniture if possible and wrap pieces in furniture blankets or covers. Secure loose parts like screws and bolts in labeled bags and tape them to the corresponding furniture pieces.

8. Label Everything

Clearly label each box with its contents and destination room. This will help movers know where to place each box and make unpacking more efficient.

9. Hire Professional Movers

For long-distance moves, such as transport service from SG to MY or vice versa, consider hiring professional movers. They have the expertise and equipment to handle your belongings safely and efficiently.
