Long distance moving involves many important preparations and packing is one of the most important. Some long distance moves involve crossing distances of thousands of miles, storage and re-delivery.
This is why careful packing is essential. Let’s take a look at some of the most important aspects of packing for long distance moving.
Non-Breakable Items
Non-breakable items are normally wrapped with blankets. This is done by the moving company and involves wrapping an item like a sofa with several blankets and then taping it on the blanket side. This seals the item and helps in preventing tears, scratches and other unwanted damages.
Breakable Items
There are many specialty designed boxes for breakable items such as dishes, electronic equipment, lamps and televisions. Kitchen items such as dishes are wrapped with white paper and then are placed inside specially designed dish packs. Glass items and some electronic equipment are bubble wrapped and then placed inside specially designed boxes.
Other Items
There are many other specially designed boxes suitable for other items. Clothes and towels can be placed in linen boxes. Coats and dresses can be placed in specially designed wardrobe boxes which contain a metal bar in the middle.
There are also mattress boxes for protecting your mattresses. Televisions are protected inside television boxes with crates created for large screen and flat screen televisions.
Packing Decisions
It is highly recommended that you hire the services of a professional moving company to do the packing for your upcoming long distance move. Because of the complexities of long distance relocation, the proper protection of all items is a must. A professional mover will be able to ensure that the packing process will be properly done and your items will be safe and protected during the long process of the relocation.
