🧳 Top 25 Packing and Moving Tips from Poonia Packers and Movers
📦 General Preparation
-
Start Early – Begin packing at least 2–3 weeks before your move to avoid last-minute chaos.
-
Declutter First – Sell, donate, or discard items you no longer need. Less clutter = easier packing.
-
Make a Checklist – Plan everything: what to pack, utility disconnections, movers, labeling, etc.
-
Pack Room-by-Room – Tackle one area at a time. It’s more organized and efficient.
-
Label Everything – Mark boxes with content and room name (e.g., “Kitchen – Fragile – Plates”).
📦 Packing Materials
