How to Pack for a Move in Los Angeles – Pro Tips from iBox Moving

How to Pack for a Move – Smart Tips from iBox Moving

Packing is one of the most important parts of any move — and doing it right can save time, money, and stress. At iBox Moving, we’ve helped thousands of families and businesses pack efficiently and safely. Here’s how to do it like a pro.

1. Start Early and Stay Organized

Begin packing at least 2–3 weeks before your move. Label boxes clearly with room names and contents. Keep similar items together and avoid mixing rooms in one box.

2. Use High-Quality Supplies

Invest in sturdy boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and strong tape. Avoid grocery store boxes — they’re often too weak or dirty. Ask us if you need supplies — we’ve got plenty.

3. Pack Room-by-Room

Start with rooms you use the least, like guest bedrooms or storage areas. Save daily essentials for last and keep a “first-night box” with things like toiletries, chargers, and snacks.

4. Protect Fragile Items

Wrap glassware, dishes, and electronics with care. Use bubble wrap, towels, or clothes as cushioning. Clearly mark boxes with fragile items.

5. Don’t Overpack

Keep box weight under 50 lbs whenever possible. Heavy items like books should go in smaller boxes; lighter items like bedding can go in large ones.

Ultimate Moving Checklist – What to Do & When

Moving soon? Most people forget the key steps until it’s too late. Here’s your moving checklist in under a minute.

Eight weeks before, declutter your home and start reaching out for quotes. At six weeks, order packing supplies and box up things you rarely use. Four weeks out, confirm your mover, update your address, and pack your main rooms. Two weeks before, finish packing non-essentials, set aside your documents, and plan time off.

During moving week, pack a small bag with clothes, toiletries, and your charger. Clean the place and prepare for the final walkthrough. On moving day, walk your movers through the house, double-check every room, and head out.

After the move, unpack the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom first. Or skip the stress and let “iBox Moving” take care of everything. Follow us for more real-world moving tips.
