Packing efficiently is also an art. Start by gathering the right supplies, such as sturdy boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Don’t forget to label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to, making unpacking easier.
When packing fragile items, ensure they are well protected to prevent breakage during transport. Use bubble wrap, foam padding, and packing paper to cushion delicate belongings. For valuable or sentimental items, consider carrying them personally to ensure their safety.
