• Get a variety of boxes—for multiple reasons, you never want just one type or size of box. Make sure you have at least two or three different sizes of boxes.
• Don’t forget specialty boxes—wardrobe boxes allow you to keep your clothes on hangers, saving you time and letting you store dresses, suits, and other items without folding them.
• Box material—cardboard boxes are the gold standard for moving, as they’re cheap and reliable. However, you might want to consider clear plastic containers for some items, especially moisture-sensitive or heavy items.

Every move is different, and plenty of items have their own ideal packing process. However, these tips can help you pack common items:

• Use furniture padding—protect your furniture by using blankets or moving pads to ensure it stays together and unscratched.
• Disassemble furniture—if possible, take apart heavy furniture as much as possible without making it difficult to re-assemble (such as removing drawers from dressers).
• Consider a moving company—packing your own items is one thing, but moving them is another. Some moving companies won’t help you move things to a storage unit, so make sure it’s a service they offer before you book.
• Use moving as an opportunity to declutter—pro tip: you don’t have to move every item you have. Chances are, you’ll find tucked-away items you haven’t used in a long time. Take the opportunity to declutter when you can.
