Professional movers have a few tricks up their sleeves that make packing faster, safer, and way less stressful. We’re here to share those secrets so you can tackle your move with confidence. We hope the following tips will help keep your packing experience organized, safe and less stressful.
1. Start with the right materials.
Forget flimsy cardboard boxes and endless rolls of packing tape. Professional movers prefer sturdy, stackable totes because they’re faster to pack and easier to transport. Our eco-friendly tote rentals come with attached lids, saving you the hassle (and cost) of tape.
2. Pack by room—and label like a boss.
Group items by room and label your totes clearly. A simple label can save you hours of searching later. Every tote rental from us includes free labels and zip ties to help you stay organized.
3. Don’t overpack—or underpack.
Each tote should be filled just enough to prevent shifting, but not so full it’s hard to carry. Need help deciding how many totes you’ll need? Browse our packages to find your perfect match that fills your needs.
4. Pack an “Essentials Tote.”
Movers always recommend setting aside one tote for daily essentials: toiletries, phone chargers, snacks, a change of clothes. It’s your moving-day survival kit.
5. Think ahead.
Don’t forget to consider how long you’ll need your totes. If you’re unsure, use our rental duration calculator to help you plan.
