If you choose not to take advantage of our professional packing service, here are some tips to keep in mind when you are packing up your home or office for a move in Georgia, out of state, or even overseas:
Furniture:
- Wrap furniture in blankets or bubble wrap. Don’t tape to wood or painted surfaces when securing your padding, as this may cause damage with the tape is removed, especially in humid climates.
- Coat fine wood furnishings with wax to prevent scratching.
- Use large cushions as padding for other items in your moving truck, and pack drawers and cabinets tightly to save space during your Atlanta move.
Electronics:
- Try to pack your computers and electronic equipment in their original boxes if you still have them, and if possible, attempt to double box your electronics.
- Immobilize moving parts and color-code wires for easier reinstallation.
- Do not pack CDs, software, or other temperature-sensitive materials in your truck when moving during warmer seasons or in high humidity.
Dishes and glassware:
- Pack plates on their sides and place dishtowels or other cushioning on the bottom and sides of the boxes.
- Wrap dishes and glassware in tissue and fill in empty spaces with newspaper to provide more padding.
