Should You Label Moving and Storage Boxes?

Published: May 01, 2022

The act of moving is perhaps the most difficult experience a person will ever go through. Moving is stressful enough as it is, so there’s no need to make it more difficult. When belongings are stored away, it may appear to be disorganized, but this isn’t the case at all.

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

It Helps Protect Your Belongings

Adding a single word to your packing list can help ensure that everything in your boxes arrives intact and undamaged at your new place of residence. “Fragile” is a good term for anything that may be easily destroyed or ruptured.

Make your box noticeable by using block lettering on it so that everyone who sees it understands what’s in there. When packing ceramic or glass objects or any collectibles in boxes, use “delicate”.

Unloading is Seamless

Consider how much stuff you’ll have before you start packing, and don’t try to pack everything at once. Also, keep in mind that you won’t be able to unpack everything at once, so plan ahead of time.

Always include the location in which the box will be put while labeling a box. If you have a box of children’s books that has to go in the playroom, call it that.

Makes Unpacking Easier

It’s also simple to take down and set up. Moving into a new home with all of your items still in boxes may be daunting. Labeling your boxes might assist you in finding what you’re searching for if you need it right now.

So always remember to write a general list on the box of what contents are inside.
