Packing Tips
Before packing, it’s a great idea to go through your belongings, and donate or sell unwanted possessions. This creates space and clarity, helping you progress efficiently through your move.
General Packing Tips
Begin packing one week to one month before the move date, depending on the size of the move.
Make sure you have all your packing supplies ready. Scissors, tape, boxes, markers, bags, bubble wraps, Newspapers for stuffing etc.
Use green moving boxes as they will reduce carbon footprint. Good Green has reusable moving boxes which they can supply on request. We assess how many boxes you might need during our estimation and help you to understand this requirement clearly.
First to be packed. Anything you don’t use daily. Items used everyday should be saved for the last two days before the move.
Pack one room at a time, and clearly label the contents of each box with a code you can identify. Using color codes is one of the best ways to identify the items
Label every box in a way that you identify the box and the room where it belongs to. Good Green packers and packers in our marketplace are well trained to do this.
Categorize and group the boxes where it belongs to
Label all fragile boxes, so we can identify anything that will end up at the top of the box wall.
Assign each box a priority by rating.

Packing Tips For
Kitchen Items

Use recycled newspaper to pack fragile items like dishware and glassware.

When placing dishware in a box, line the box with paper. Fill any open spaces in the box with paper, as well.

For heavier items, use small boxes. For lightweight items use larger boxes.

For packing dishware, use corrugated boxes and place a cloth or stuffed newspaper at the bottom of the box.

Layer all the dishware separately with a stuffed paper and do not directly place them one above the other. Layering protects the dishware

Cover and cushion the sides with clothes or stuff the spaces with newspapers such that the dishware stays intact without shifting.
