According to professional removalists, moving companies can often advise you on how to reduce the space needed for packing your household goods. This ensures that a moving vehicle will have enough room for everything you need to take. It makes packing more efficient, and items are better protected, so less damage is likely.
Consolidation is one way to help save space. This works when smaller items will go into more significant components. Such an option may work in one of the following situations:
- A chest of drawers might have clothing and other light items left in the drawers.
- Small boxes may fit inside large boxes. it is best to keep like items together if possible.
- Any baskets, bins or other items that have nothing to go in them can be perfect for packing smaller items into.
Another way removalists use to safe space is by using vacuum seals for clothing and bedding. A seal will work in that you can add a number of items into a bag and then use a vacuum to clear out the air inside it.
The bag must be sealable to prevent air re-entering. This makes it easier for items such as Manchester to be stored without the excess air taking up storage space. This is ideal for packing clothing or doonas if you need to reduce the amount of space it takes up.
Another problem is often caused by certain items that have unusual shapes. It is difficult trying to find a box to fit them and when you do, it is full of spaces that are too awkward to fit anything else in. It may seem like a waste of space but the big box is needed to protect the item.
Flat packing might especially be required in some cases to give you more control over your storage efforts while making items rather easier to prepare and secure. Some items than came as a flat package and were put together in the home can be pulled apart again without harming them, and the pieces once again stored as a flat pack. You can imagine just how much room this will save in the removalist truck.
Removalists can provide you with plenty of help and advice for getting your items packed in a way that will save on space during the moving process. Make sure that whatever needs packing is taken care of in the appropriate way. They often provide the strong boxes and cartons that are needed to pack your household goods in.
They do this because often people use boxes with no lids and this can cause the goods inside to be squashed and broken beyond repair. Lids make a box much stronger and stackable in a way that won’t damage anything inside it.
