The Ultimate Packing Guide: How to Protect Your Valuables During a Move

Packing is the foundation of a successful move. Done wrong, it leads to damage and stress; done right, everything arrives safely. Follow this guide from Smart Movers Uganda.

1. Gather Quality Supplies

Get strong boxes, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Avoid old or weak boxes that can tear under weight.

2. Pack Room by Room

Focus on one area at a time — it helps you stay organized and makes unpacking easier later.

3. Wrap Fragile Items Individually

Use soft materials like towels or foam for extra cushioning. Mark boxes containing glass or ceramics as “FRAGILE.”

4. Secure Boxes Properly

Seal boxes tightly using strong tape and avoid overloading. Label both the top and sides for easy identification.

5. Pack Heavy Items First

Distribute weight evenly. Place heavy items at the bottom and lighter ones on top.

6. Protect Electronics

Keep original packaging if available. Otherwise, wrap devices in anti-static materials and store cords separately.

7. Hire Professionals for Extra Care
