Why You Should Label Moving and Storage Boxes

Published: May 01, 2022

Moving is perhaps the most difficult thing a person will ever face. Moving is already both time-consuming and nerve-racking, so there’s no need to make it more difficult. When belongings are stored, they may appear to be a chaotic mess, but that isn’t the case at all.

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

It Helps Protect Your Belongings

Adding one word to your packing list will guarantee that everything in your boxes does not arrive damaged or destroyed at your new home. Something that is easily destroyed or broken should be marked with “fragile.”

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 fit everything in at once. It’s also important to remember that you won’t be able to unpack everything at once, so plan ahead of time.

When labeling a box, you should always include the location in which the box will be placed. If you have a box of children’s books that must go in the playroom, label it playroom.

Makes Unpacking Easier

It also makes it simple to unpack and set up. Moving into a new house with all of your belongings still in boxes might be quite daunting. Labeling your boxes can help you find what you’re looking for if you need something quickly.

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