Our Packing Tips for Relocation
Preparing for a home move can be a difficult activity for most people, and while we at Dahill Moving and Storage can help you through the process, our relocation experts can offer packing tips to help ensure the safety of your belongings. We can also provide packing supplies prior to your move.

There are several things to consider even before buying boxes and tape. As any decent packing guide will tell you, it's best to prepare early, even months in advance, if you plan to pack on your own. Here are a few tips to consider when preparing for your move.

  • When packing, start with things that you don't use very often.
  • Make a list of the items in your home or office that have special needs such as glassware and electronics.
  • List the contents of each box and mark which room they're supposed to go into.
  • Separate your fragile items such as glassware and china, and carefully wrap them in paper. Make sure to mark the box they're in as "Fragile."
  • If possible, pack electronics in their original packaging. If not, use materials such as bubble wrap, foam sheeting, or even pillows prior to packing in a sturdy box.
  • Use sturdy materials such as boxes and packing tape that are meant to withstand the stresses of travel, especially during long trips.
  • When relocating to another country, be sure to look into your new home's voltage requirements in order to determine if your own appliances will work.
