Here are five tips to ensure that your boxes are well packed before moving house.

Here are five tips to ensure that your boxes are well packed before moving house:

1. 

   Use double wall boxes: 

   Make sure you use double boxes that can withstand the weight and stress off moving. If you use single wall boxes, they are likely to break or collapse, causing damage to your belongings.

   
   

2. Wrap fragile items properly: 

   Use bubble wrap or tissue paper to wrap fragile items, such as glassware or porcelain, individually. Fill any gaps in the box with packing paper to prevent movement during moving and transport.

   
   

3. Label your boxes: 

   Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will make it easier for you to unpack once you arrive at your new home and help your movers know where to place each box.

   
   

4. Use proper packing techniques: 

   Pack heavier items at the bottom of the box and lighter items on top. Use packing tape to reinforce the bottom and sides of the box to prevent it from breaking open during transport.

   
   

5. Pack essentials separately: 

   Pack a separate box with essentials that you will need immediately upon arrival, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, and important documents. This box should be easily accessible and clearly labeled.

   The way a removal company handles boxes can vary depending on the company and the level of service you choose. However, here are some general practices that most removal companies follow when handling boxes in the removal van:

   1. Loading and unloading: 

      Removal companies typically load boxes onto a moving van using dollies or hand trucks to minimize the risk of damage.

      Some removal companies may provide packing materials, such as boxes, tape, and packing paper, as part of their service.
