Why You Should Label Boxes for Storage and Moving in Cincinnati

Published: September 01, 2022

Moving is challenging enough without making it harder than it needs to be. Once your belongings are unpacked, your new place might look disorganized — but it doesn’t have to be that way.

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

It Helps Protect Your Belongings

It may be easier to move without breaking or damaging anything if you add a single item to your packing list. Anything that might be easily broken or damaged should be labeled “fragile.”

Block lettering adds a decorative touch to your box that may make it more apparent. When packing delicate ceramics or glass objects, you might write “delicate” on the box.

Unloading is Seamless

Before packing up, estimate how much stuff you think you’ll need. It’s better to bring less and have more space than trying to cram everything into one box. When you’re unpacking at your destination, take your time so that you don’t feel overwhelmed.

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

Labeling all of your boxes will make it easier to unpack too! You won’t need to spend time looking for labeled boxes or packing them up if they’re already identified. If you label your boxes, unpacking and setting up will be a piece of cake.
