Making your move more difficult than it has to be is pointless. You won’t gain anything from it. Once your belongings are unpacked, and in your new home, it may look like a total mess, but that doesn’t have to be the end result.

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Bucks and Mercer County is here to assist! Here are three reasons why it’s so important to label your boxes.

It Helps Protect Your Belongings

Use the word “fragile” on boxes containing items that could break easily. This will help your relocation go more smoothly and reduce damage to your belongings. Write in large letters, so it’s easy to see. If you’re packing delicate ceramic or glass items, use the word “delicate” instead of “fragile.”

Unloading is Seamless

Make a list of the items you think you’ll need for your trip, then take a look at it and pare down where possible. It’s always better to have less stuff and more space than to try and cram everything into one box when traveling. Once you arrive at your destination, unpack slowly so that it doesn’t become overwhelming.

Place the box in its proper position when identifying it. If you’re packing a box of children’s books to give to the playroom, write it on the box.

Makes Unpacking Easier

By labeling your boxes, you will save time and frustration later on. You won’t have to waste precious minutes unpacking or searching for certain labeled boxes. If they’re already marked, you can easily move them without having to open each one. So take a few extra seconds to label each box. It’ll be worth it in the end!
