Learn how to make your move stress-free with the right packing strategy. From optimal preparation to efficient unpacking – we’ll show you how it’s done!
A move is just around the corner and you want to move stress-free and pack efficiently? Good preparation is essential. We at GoMovin understand that a move involves more than merely packing boxes. It starts with thoughtful planning and organisation to save costs and minimise effort. Early planning, ideally four months before your moving date, allows you to coordinate all aspects of your move calmly. Utilise our expertise to make your move efficient and relaxed.
Early Planning and Organisation
The Key to a Stress-Free Move
Start with a detailed checklist. This helps you keep track of all tasks and ensure nothing is forgotten. Note all important steps, from terminating your old tenancy to re-registering with the local authorities. Such a list serves as your personal roadmap for a successful move. Remember to seek professional help early to optimise the process.
Strategic Decluttering
Reducing Moving Costs and Effort
Before packing, you should thoroughly declutter. Use the 3-box method: Keep, Sell/Donate, Dispose. Focus on areas that easily accumulate clutter, such as basements, attics or storage rooms. The less you take with you, the lower the moving costs and effort. Less baggage means more freedom in your new home.
Acquiring Moving Materials
The Right Equipment for Safe Transport
Acquire enough moving boxes in various sizes in good time. Special boxes for books, clothes, and fragile items are advisable. Look for sturdy boxes with handles to facilitate transport. Use packing paper, bubble wrap, and tape to optimally protect your items. With the right equipment, packing becomes child's play.
Increase efficiency by systematically packing according to rooms
A systematic approach to packing is crucial for a smooth move. We recommend going room by room to stay organised and make unpacking easier. This method ensures that all items from one room stay together and can be found quickly. GoMovin helps you to make this process as efficient as possible.
Room-by-Room Approach
Efficient Packing and Unpacking
Pack items from each room separately. Clearly label the boxes with the corresponding room to save time when unpacking. This method helps you stay organised and speeds up the unpacking process. Thus, avoiding unnecessary searching and chaos in your new home. Clear labelling is key to an organised move. Clear markings simplify the entire process.
Prioritising Items
What first, what last?
Start with infrequently used items, such as seasonal decorations or books that you do not need daily. Pack everyday items just before the move. This way, you will have the things you need daily until the end. This prioritisation greatly facilitates the move and ensures a relaxed process. Prioritise your items for a more efficient move.
The "Survival Box"
The Essentials for the First Days in Your New Home
Pack toiletries, clothing, medication, and important documents in a separate box. This box should be easily accessible so that you have immediate access to the essentials. Such a "survival box" is invaluable when you are exhausted after the move and cannot immediately unpack everything. A well-packed Survival Box can make all the difference.
Stability and protection through proper packing of moving boxes
The proper packing of moving boxes is crucial to avoid damage and ease transportation. At GoMovin, we place great importance on ensuring that your items arrive at their destination safely and undamaged. Pay attention to an even weight distribution and carefully protect fragile items. This ensures a safe and stress-free move.
Weight Distribution
Heavy items at the bottom, light items at the top
Distribute the weight evenly in the box to avoid one-sided strain. Limit the weight per box to a maximum of 20 kg to prevent back issues and avoid overloading the boxes. Heavy items belong at the bottom, light items at the top. A good weight distribution protects your items and makes transportation easier. Ensure the correct weight distribution for safe transportation.
Protection of Fragile Items
Secure packaging for delicate goods
Wrap each fragile item individually in packing paper or bubble wrap. Fill gaps with packing material to prevent movement. Transport dishes vertically, not stacked, to avoid breakage. Careful packaging protects your delicate goods from damage. Protect your fragile items with the right packaging.
Book Packaging
Special tips for books
Use smaller boxes or sturdy paper bags for books to limit weight. Pack books back-to-back to prevent damage. Special book packaging protects your books from damage and makes transportation easier. Use special boxes for heavy items like books.
Save space and protect: Pack furniture and clothing optimally
Furniture and clothing present special challenges when it comes to packing. At GoMovin, we have specific tips and tricks to overcome these challenges and optimally protect your furniture and clothing. With the right preparation and packaging, you save space and avoid unnecessary damage.
Furniture Dismantling
Space-saving and secure
Dismantle furniture, if possible, to save space and facilitate transport. Keep screws and fittings in labelled bags so you can quickly find everything when reassembling. Dismantling saves space and protects your furniture from damage. Dismantle your furniture for easier transport.
Wardrobe Boxes
Wrinkle-free transport for your wardrobe
Use wardrobe boxes for hanging clothing to avoid creases. Vacuum bags can save space by reducing the volume of your clothing. Wardrobe boxes and vacuum bags ensure wrinkle-free and space-saving transport of your wardrobe. Use specialised packaging solutions like wardrobe boxes.
Keep an overview through tagging and documentation
A detailed labeling and documentation is essential to keep track of your packed items. At GoMovin, we recommend labeling each box carefully and creating an inventory list. This way, you maintain control and make unpacking at your new home easier.
Detailed Labeling
Clear Information for the Removals Helper
Clearly label each box with its contents and destination room to make the work easier for the removals helpers. Use color coding for additional clarity. Clear labeling ensures a smooth process and prevents misunderstandings. Label your boxes clearly for better organization.
Inventory List
Maintain Control
Create an inventory list to keep track of all packed items. Note the contents of each box in the list to quickly find everything later. An inventory list helps you stay organized and prevent losses. Create an inventory list for structured organization.
Creative Alternatives: Save on Moving Costs with Existing Resources
It doesn't always have to be expensive moving boxes. There are numerous alternatives to save costs while still packing your belongings securely. At GoMovin, we show you how to make optimal use of available resources to make your move cost-effective.
Suitcases, Bags and Baskets
Utilise Available Resources
Use suitcases, shopping bags and baskets for packing. These are often already available and provide a great way to transport clothes, books and other items. Utilising available resources saves money and benefits the environment.
Reusable Plastic Boxes
An Eco-Friendly Alternative
Rent reusable plastic moving boxes. They are sturdy, easy to transport, and environmentally friendly. Reusable plastic boxes are a sustainable and cost-efficient alternative to traditional moving boxes.
Ensure relief: Moving helpers and professional support
A move can be a major challenge, especially when it comes to packing and carrying heavy objects. We at GoMovin offer you various ways to lighten your load and ensure a stress-free move. Whether it's friends and family or professional removal companies – we have the right solution for you.
Friends and Family
Request and Coordinate Help
Ask friends and family for assistance with packing and carrying. Plan enough breaks and refreshments to keep everyone in good spirits. Support from friends and family can significantly ease the move and save costs.
Professional Removal Companies
Comprehensive Services for a Stress-Free Move
Consider hiring a professional removal company. These often also offer packing services and furniture assembly. A professional removal company provides you with a comprehensive service and ensures a stress-free move. We are happy to assist you in choosing the right partner.
Setting up a new home through systematic unpacking
After the move, unpacking and arranging your new home begins. At GoMovin, we recommend approaching this systematically to quickly restore order and feel comfortable. Start with the most important rooms and dispose of packaging materials properly.
Systematic Unpacking
Room by Room to Your New Home
Start by unpacking the "Survival Box" to have essential items immediately at hand. Then unpack room by room, starting with the most crucial areas, such as the bedroom and kitchen. Systematic unpacking ensures a quick start in your new home.
Disposal of Packaging Materials
Act Environmentally Friendly
Dispose of packaging materials properly. Ask the moving company about recycling options. Proper disposal protects the environment and avoids unnecessary waste.
