When getting ready for moving it is vital to use the proper techniques and the correct materials to help your move go correctly. Allot of moving customers make the mistake of using the wrong boxes for the specific things they are packing leading to a negative result. The three most common packing issues seen by this Atlanta moving company are:
1.) When packing breakable items not packing them in the correct container known as the “dish pack”or “5.2 cubic foot double walled box”. Customers spend allot of energy to wrap every item very carefully and then buy the wrong box and then the time and materials used to protect those fragile items is wasted. Ask any Atlanta moving company they will explain how important it is for you protect your fragile items in a dish pack it is the best thing you can do to protect your breakables during your move.
2.) Customers utilize a larger box for dense things. As the things that you are packing for the movers get heavier the container needs to be smaller. Books (which are more dense for the amount of space they occupy) need to be packed in the smaller also called the “1.5 cubic foot box”or “small box” or “book box”. By employing a smaller container the Atlanta moving company who is to move your items will be able to load your containers properly on a box dolly and efficiently load onto the movers truck. If on the other hand you use a big or even extra big boxes to pack books you will have a box that is too heavy to be transported and when your moving crew attempt to pick up that box it come apart and completely loose it’s shape. Do your self a favor and don’t use really big boxes to pack dens items or you will find your move will not go well
3.) Moving customers not properly taped packed containers. Quite often customers make the mistake of not securing the box tops or using the wrong kind of adhesive to seal the top and or bottom of the container. If you use the incorrect tape to tape the top and bottom of the containers as soon as the Atlanta movers pick up the containers they will likely come apart. Duck tape, masking tape, scotch tape should not be used to seal your boxes. When purchasing tape for your move ask for packing tape it will hold your boxes shut and belongings in.
Packing containers is important step in preparing for your move…don’t overlook it or it will foil all other efforts of your movers.
