Packing. A well-organized and properly packed load makes all the difference when it
comes to moving day. Our team stresses the importance of being ready well ahead of
time, with careful attention to detail in every aspect of the packing process.
One of the most important steps is choosing the right boxes for your belongings. It’s not
just about putting items in any box; it’s about selecting boxes that can handle the weight
and ensure your things are safe during transit.

We always recommend using sturdy, properly-sized boxes that won’t break or collapse under the load. If an item is heavy, it
should go in a small, strong box to keep the weight manageable. For lighter items, use
larger boxes to maximize space. This strategy helps avoid accidents and makes the
loading process much smoother.

Packing isn’t just about filling boxes—it’s about ensuring everything is sealed securely.
At 1PRO Moving and Shipping, we stress the importance of properly taping each box
and using the right sealing techniques. This prevents boxes from opening during
transport, which could lead to broken items or an unorganized move. When everything
is taped properly, you’ll know your belongings are secure and ready for the road.
Clear labeling is another essential part of the packing process. We always advise our
customers to mark each box with its contents, destination room, and any fragile or
special handling instructions. Whether using a marker or a color-coding system, clear
labels speed up the loading and unloading process, making it easier to get everything to
the right place in your new home.

Additionally, we encourage removing obstacles from the path of the movers and
collecting any loose items. Small, scattered items can easily get lost or damaged, so
placing them in strong bags ensures they’re secure and easier to handle. This step
might seem small, but it prevents delays and confusion on moving day.
An often overlooked but crucial aspect of packing is weight management.

We recommend packing boxes with a maximum weight of 50 to 60 pounds. This ensures
that no box is too heavy to handle and reduces the risk of injury to movers. Packing
boxes in a way that makes sense—not just throwing everything in haphazardly—helps
avoid frustration and accidents. By keeping heavier items in smaller boxes and lighter
items in larger ones, you help create a smoother, safer move for everyone involved.
At 1PRO Moving and Shipping, we’re here to make sure your move goes as smoothly
as possible. We’re always ready to offer advice on proper packing techniques, weight
limits, and efficient organization to ensure that everything arrives safely and on time.
