Packing for a move can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are a few simple tricks, you can stay organized, save time, and avoid the usual moving-day stress.
1. Start Early
Give yourself a head start. Packing a small amount each day keeps everything manageable.
2. Declutter Before You Pack
Move only what you love or need. Moving is a great time to declutter! Decluttering makes the whole process lighter.
3. Use Reusable Moving Totes
Sturdy totes protect your belongings better than cardboard boxes and stack neatly. See our full list of rental products here:

4. Pack One Room at a Time
This keeps your home from feeling chaotic and helps with unpacking later. Start with the spare bedroom or spare bathroom.
5. Label Everything Clearly
Mark each tote with the room name and a few key items inside. Labeling the totes will help you stay organized when it is time to unpack.
6. Wrap Fragile Items Well
Use towels, linens, or bubble wrap to protect glass and dishes.
7. Create a “First-Night” Tote
Pack essentials like toiletries, chargers, and snacks so you can settle in easily. If you don’t want to use a tote, then use a suitcase.
8. Use the Right Number of Totes
Too few totes lead to overpacking and damage. Our helpful bin calculator shows exactly how many you need:

9. Pack Heavier Items in Smaller Totes
Keep books, tools, and small appliances in lighter loads.
0. Keep Cords Together
Store cords and chargers in labeled zip-top bags.
11. Protect Hanging Clothes
Keep clothes on hangers and transfer them straight into a tote or garment bag.
12. Use Delivery and Pick-Up Services
