Packing up ahead of a household move in Winnipeg can take a lot of time and energy. It can also be frustrating if you lack the right supplies or don't know what boxes items are packed in after a move. To ensure your DIY packing process goes as smoothly as possible, here are three tips to keep in mind when you pack for your next move.

Consider Reusable Packing Containers

If you are wondering where you'll find all the boxes for your move, you may not have to worry about it. An alternative to traditional cardboard boxes like reusable plastic packing containers ensures you can get all the boxes you need for the move. 

Use Color Coded Labels and Markers

When you are DIY packing for a residential move, it's tempting to throw random items into boxes just to get the job done as fast as possible. But, taking a little time to pack up boxes and label them with color coded pens or labels save you a lot of time later on. 

You can opt to pack up your moving boxes by room or by item. With a label you can quickly see at a glance where the box belongs in your new home and what is in it. 

Streamline Your Belongings

One final tip before you move is to consider thinning out your belongings. If you go through the closets, look under beds, and even take a hard look at old furniture, you might find a lot of things you don't really want to own any longer. 

The fewer items you have to move, the less a long-distance move will cost you too. Moving and storage companies in Winnipeg tend to charge by weight for their nationwide relocations.
