What to Pack First?

Start your packing in ascending order, meaning from items that are used frequently to items that are not in use in your daily living. The rooms that are in the least use can be packed early with proper labelling. Then the book racks and books as well can also come under the category of early packing items.

Difference Between Short-Distance and Long-Distance Moves

Another step you need to consider while moving your furniture is whether your plan is to transport it to a short-distance destination or to a faraway destination. Packing for both requires different dynamics to cover. The difference is discussed below:

Packing Furniture for a Short-Distance Move

Packing your furniture for a short-distance move needs normal wrapping and takes less time. You should be careful about your precious items and furniture disassembly. It reduces the risk of damage. Pack your furniture in plastic wraps, especially the upholstery sofas, to secure them from dirt, dust and withering.

Packing Furniture for a Long-Distance Move

You need extra care while packing your furniture to cover a long distance. The action you should employ for packing is:

• Selecting high-quality packing supplies, particularly cardboard boxes.
• Pack the disassembled parts of the furniture individually.
• Tag the thread numbering to the disassembled parts of one furniture item, like 1/5A, 2/5A, etc.
• The cushioning and padding should be consolidated. For if there is a rough drive, your furniture may not lose its limbs.
• Pack the furniture's disassembled parts, limbs, nuts and bolts and other fragile pieces as per their length and width.
• Labelling the boxes is a must in any case.
