If you’ve moved before then you’ve probably asked yourself, “How should I pack my household items?” It may seem trivial, but it’s a major component of any relocation if you’re packing yourself.
A list of household goods packing tips could be a long checklist of criteria one might have to go over when considering moving personal goods overseas.
It goes without saying that improper packing is one of the major concerns when it comes to breakages and damage.
Based on our 38 years as an international moving company, we’ve created a comprehensive list of tips for packing household goods to help with any move, overseas or cross country.
We also have a packing video on our Youtube channel from an actual move!
How to Pack Household Goods Safely for Your Move Overseas
Following are some of the basic materials one should consider to use for household packing:
Always insist on using strong boxes to pack the fragile items
Make sure the bottom of the box has additional tape to prevent opening when lifted
Wrap all fragile items individually in bubble wrap or packing paper
Corrugated boxes that can be closed shut are highly recommended to secure your belongings
Plan on using lot of strong packaging tape, labels and markers to clearly identify the content being places in various boxes
Try and use blank newspapers, plastics or bubble wraps to fill the empty spaces in the cartons
Different household goods will have to be handled in different ways to ensure they are secured, correctly packed and can be moved easily.
One could come across all sorts of different household goods varying in shapes, sizes and weights.
Investing time and effort by creating an international moving checklist also helps ease out the entire process. It’s a good practice to reach out to overseas moving companies and seek information from their knowledge database.
Following are some pointers to pack some of the commonly found household items:
Electronics
Remember to unplug all electronics
Refrigerators need to be unplugged 24 hrs prior to loading as they need to drain of excess water and ice
Tape the inner table in a microwave oven so it does not move inside and break the glass door
Check the device manuals for all appliances for any special instructions
Double pack electronics with glass screens safely to ensure they do not break
Kitchenware
Fragile bone china and ceramic kitchenware needs to be packed in bubble wrap
Glass containers and sharp cutlery should be wrapped with extra packaging
Place paper between all plates/bowls/cups and dinnerware to prevent chipping and breaking
Wrap cutlery and utensils together in tight bundles and bubble wrap before putting in boxes
Wine glasses/ vases / crystal pieces etc, should all be double wrapped in paper and bubble wrap
Small Furniture Products
Ensure the edges are fully covered to prevent chipping
Remember to protect the surfaces with a bed sheet to prevent scratches
This furniture will probably be double stacked in the truck and container so all surfaces must be well protected
