Why You Should Label Boxes for Storage and Moving in Memphis

Published: October 01, 2022

It’s not really helpful to make moving more difficult than it has to be. Your new house may appear chaotic once your goods have been unpacked, but that doesn’t have to be the case.

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

It Helps Protect Your Belongings

To make your relocation more manageable and minimize breakage, use the term “fragile” on anything that may be easily broken or damaged. The large block letters on the front of your box help to draw attention to it. If you’re packing delicate ceramic or glass items, write “delicate” on the box instead of “fragile.”

Unloading is Seamless

Take a look at the packing list you’ve created. While putting things away, estimate how much you think you’ll need. It’s preferable to bring less and have more space than attempting to cram everything into one box when traveling. Take your time unpacking when you get to your destination so that it doesn’t overwhelm you.

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 your boxes will make unpacking and moving in a lot simpler. You won’t have to spend time looking for particular labeled boxes or repackaging them if they’re already marked. So label each box for a few minutes. It’ll save you hours over the course of many moves!
