📦 "How to move house without a headache? Including professional organizing and moving techniques"
Moving house is not just about moving your belongings from one place to another, but also about “moving your entire life” to a new place. Without careful planning, it can cause unnecessary stress and time wasted. Let’s take a look at professional packing and moving techniques that will help you move house comfortably and without hassle.
✅ Start planning ahead
Because moving house is not just about strength, but also about a good “plan”.
Planning ahead will help you control the situation at every step, reduce panic, and make the move efficient.
1. 📅 Set a definite moving date
Choose a non-rush moving date, such as a weekend or holiday.
Avoid the rainy season or festival periods when traffic is heavy.
If using a moving service, you should make a reservation at least 1–2 weeks in advance.
2. 🗂️ Plan your packing routine step by step
Start by collecting items that you don’t often use, such as books, decorations, and spare kitchen utensils.
Continue collecting until you reach daily necessities such as clothes and personal items.
Write a “to-go” list to check what you need to pack and make sure you don’t forget anything important.
3. 📦 Prepare your equipment
Cardboard boxes of various sizes
Tape, rope, marker pen for writing signs
Bubble wrap/newspaper for wrapping fragile items
Ziplock bags or plastic boxes for small items
4. 👥 Plan assistance
If family members are using labor, clearly divide the responsibilities.
If using professional services, please call to confirm in advance.
Inform your neighbors or the building’s legal department in advance if you live in a condo or apartment.
5. 🛏 Plan your sleep the night before moving day
Don’t pack heavy on the last day because you will be too tired.
Prepare clothes, necessities, and simple food for the first day in your new home.
Get enough rest to be strong on moving day.
🎯 Summarize:
A good start is the key to a smooth move. Start planning early, get everything ready, and every step after that will be easier than you think!
✅ Categorize and label boxes
The more organized you are, the faster and less chaotic your move will be.
Clearly categorizing your belongings and labeling your boxes will save you and your moving team from having to open and check boxes, reducing the chances of things breaking, getting lost, or haphazardly rearranging your home.
1. 📦 Separate items by “usage room”
– Organize items into separate boxes according to room, such as:
Kitchen box
Bedroom box
Bathroom box
Living room box
– This method will help you to put your stuff in the right place when you arrive at your new home, without having to walk around looking for a place to store it.
2. 🛠 Separate by “Type of use”
Frequently used / Rarely used items
Fragile/General items
Heavy items (e.g. books, fitness equipment) / Light items (e.g. blankets, pillows)
Electronic devices should be separated and well protected with shockproof material.
3. 🏷 Clearly label the boxes.
– Use a large-tipped marker to write clearly on the top and sides of the box.
– Specify these information:
“Items in the box”: e.g. “Kitchenware – pots/plates”
“Destination room”: e.g. “kitchen”
“Warning”: such as “fragile”, “do not stack”, “heavy box”
– If you have time, you can make color-coded stickers to separate rooms, such as green = bedroom, red = kitchen.
4. 🧠 Use the box sequence system
Write the box number, such as box 1, box 2, etc.
Make a separate “item list” on paper or a Google Sheet.
This method is great for moving houses with lots of stuff, as it makes it easier to find important items later.
5. 🧺 Keep your “personal stuff” separate
Important items such as documents, jewelry, wallets, and power banks should be placed separately in a personal carry-on bag.
It should not be mixed with general items for safety and ease of use.
🎯 Summarize:
Sort and label boxes = Easy to manage, find things quickly, move house comfortably like a pro
Don’t wait until the last minute. Start organizing systematically today. Then you will definitely move house without too much stress!
✅ Fragile items require special attention.
Fragile items = items that cannot be repaired, must be wrapped well, with complete protection!
🏺 What are some fragile items?
Plates, bowls, glasses
Vase, ceramic decoration
Lamp, light bulb
Small electrical appliances such as rice cookers and blenders
TV screen, computer screen
Display items with small parts
📦 Safe packing techniques
1. Wrap items one by one
Use bubble wrap or newspaper to wrap each piece around all sides.
If there are glasses or plates stacked together, there should be paper to separate each one.
2. Choose the right box
Choose a box that is not too big, as it will be too heavy and may break in transit.
Fragile items should be packed in a small, compact box, leaving no room for easy movement.
3. Line the bottom of the box with shockproof material.
Put crepe paper/foam/sponge at the bottom of the box before placing items.
If there is space around, stuff it tightly with soft materials to prevent it from moving.
4. Clearly label “fragile” items.
Write with a marker pen “Fragile”, “Do not throw”, or use a red sticker.
Attached so that both the top and sides of the box are visible.
If using a delivery service, please inform the staff to be extra careful.
5. The hair of this group is specially separated.
Always place fragile boxes “on top” and never stack them underneath other boxes.
If using a delivery truck, it should be placed at the very back or in a location where there is no strong shaking.
🧠 Special tips:
If you have the original factory box, such as a TV box or some kitchenware brands, reuse it because it is designed to withstand impacts the best.
Take photos of each item before packing as evidence in case of damage, which can be claimed under warranty (if using a shipping service with insurance).
🎯 Summarize:
Fragile items are not just expensive items, they are “unrepairable” items.
Professional packing will prevent damage and make your move worry-free!
✅ Professional furniture packing
For safety, reduce scratches and prevent damage.
🛋 Furniture that should be packed well
Wardrobe, table, bedง
Sofa Chair
Shelves, dressing tables
Wooden furniture, glass furniture or leather/fabric upholstery
📦 Professional furniture packing steps
1. Disassemble into small pieces
Remove table legs, cabinets, shelves, cabinet doors, or drawers first.
Use a ziplock bag to put the nuts and hardware in, then tape them to the main piece.
Make a note or put a sticker on it that says “Which device?”
2. Wraps all surfaces prone to scratches
Use sponge sheets, foam sheets, bubble wrap.
If you want to save money, you can also use old blankets, towels, or bedspreads to wrap it.
Furniture corners (e.g. table corners) should be protected with corner guards for extra protection.
3. Use stretch film to wrap it tightly.
Wrap the furniture pieces around the edges after wrapping to ensure that the wrapping material does not slip off.
For upholstered sofas or chairs, cover with plastic to prevent dust before wrapping.
4. Attach a sticker to identify the parts
Write “headboard”, “left table leg”, or “drawer door” to indicate what it is used with.
Use paper tape or post-it notes that are easy to peel off and leave no residue.
5. Beware of glass/shiny furniture
The mirror should be wrapped in thick paper and then wrapped in bubble wrap.
Clearly labeled “Glass/Fragile”
Never stack heavy items on top.
📍 Additional tips:
Take photos of the furniture before disassembling it so you can see it when you reassemble it.
If you don’t have packing materials, you can contact a building material store or moving service. They sell them in large packages at a cheap price.
If using a moving service, ask if they offer packing services (many offer additional services).
🎯 Summarize:
Professional furniture packing helps to move safely, without scratches, no need to repair or waste time claiming insurance.
Invest a little time and materials, but have peace of mind throughout the journey!
