Packing Tips from Townsville’s Dawsons Removals Experts

With a wealth of experience as removalists and storage providers, Dawson Moving & Storage NQ can offer expert packing tips alongside our moving services, to help you get ready for moving day in Townsville.

You might think packing is just a case of putting everything in boxes, but a bit of planning can make the whole process easier when you move, and when you’re unpacking.

Planning Ahead Makes Packing Stress-Free

As soon as you know your moving date, you will probably be anxious to get packing. Before you start, it’s important to make sure you:

• Have all the packing materials you need (boxes, strong tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, marker pens, bags for smaller items)
• Know what you want to pack yourself and what you can leave for the Dawsons removals team
• Make a labelling system and inventory, so that you know which room every box will go to in your new home

Once you have prepared properly, you can start to pack up your home.

Good Packing Protects Your Belongings

Pack Securely, Starting with Lesser-Used Items

Packing securely and methodically ensures that items won’t get broken or lost in transit. Start by packing things you won’t miss so much in the time between packing up and moving day. This could include items such as books, DVDs, records and things that you don’t need daily.

Avoid Overfilling Boxes

Be careful not to overfill boxes so that they don’t break but do use soft items or packing materials to fill empty space in your boxes so that the contents don’t move around. Also, be sure to strengthen each one with tape on the top, bottom and sides.

Pack One Room at a Time

Take one room at a time and put everything together in a corner so that you can still move around easily and access all the things you still need up until moving day.

Dismantle Large Furniture

Large furniture items can be dismantled. You can do this yourself or use the dismantling/assembling service from our removalists and storage team for ease and convenience.
