Collect All Packing Supplies
You must have different moving boxes to pack all items. It will be good to purchase boxes of different size. You must buy good quality storing boxes, cartons and packing materials. You can consult professionals to get their recommendations about packing and packing supplies.
  • Marking pens
  • Labeling stickers
  • Durable packing tape
  • Scissors
  • Newspaper and blank papers

  • Bubble wraps

Secure Paperwork in Moving File
You must manage a file to secure necessary paperwork that you will need during your move. The file may include papers for the reservation of a moving truck, payment codes of moving helpers, records of pet veterinarian (if applicable), cash for tips, hotel reservation, necessary contact information and other vital documents that you may need before unpacking.
You must keep this file in a safe place like your bag or purse. It must be a place where the file won’t get repressed in a mess developed during packing and unpacking.

Pack Individual Suitcases for All Family Members
You have to pack a box or suitcase for each family member several days ago. A box or a suitcase must have a disposable razor (if needed), relaxing clothes, washcloth, towel, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap bar and 2 to 3 dresses. These are everyday items to pack, and you must consider the personal preferences of each family members while packing and put every vital thing in boxes. Choose a safe place to keep these suitcases and boxes, such as your car or neighbor’s house.

Arrange Padding to Fill Empty Spaces in Boxes
Instead of purchasing packing peanuts and bubble wraps, you can use your clothes as padding. It will save money, and you can get extra space to pack your clothes. It is like hitting two birds with a stone. Clothes are malleable than bubble wrap and paper so these can be a good choice.  
If you are packing glassware, you must separately pack each box. These should be tightly packed with sufficient padding to avoid clinking between glassware.

Take Photographs of Complex Arrangements
If you have computer, television or other electronic devices, make sure to take photos of their wire setup and assembly. If you have to disassemble a machine, it is essential to snap photograms to frame decorative configurations and arrangements for a quick reference.  
Moreover, if you have pets, you are responsible for arranging a pet sitter for them. They need special care, and attention and your carelessness can increase their depression and anxiety. You have to arrange a pet sitter and babysitter to keep them away from moving hassles.
