Labelling boxes can seem like a simple task, but when performed properly, makes a massive difference on moving day.
Correctly labelling moving boxes helps you and your removals company and ensures your belongings are handled correctly and easy to load, unload and unpack. Follow these tips from our professional packing team for peak results.
Label by Room
Boxing up belonging and labelling them according to the room where they go is a simple and effective solution that makes it easy to unpack.
Adding content descriptions
A brief description of key items in a box can also help. For instance, “electrical goods”, “crockery” or “bedding”.
Mark fragile and heavy items
Labelling boxes that contain delicate items with the word “FRAGILE” is a smart move. Movers will know to handle them with extra care. It’s worth also marking weighty boxes with the word “Heavy”.
Colour coding
Organising boxes by colour is a common labelling option. Use coloured labels or pens to code boxes for quick visual reference. For example, bathroom – blue, kitchen – green etc.
Label all sides
Boxes can get turned around during moving so make sure you label every side to make identification easy for you and your movers.
Prioritise boxes
Packing a priority box and labelling it makes sense. This container hold items you want rapid access to on arrival. As a result, this box is loaded last on the moving truck, so it’s first off and ready for use at the other end.
Numbering boxes
Numbering boxes can also help, especially with larger moves. For instance, multiple boxes for larger rooms like living rooms can be marked “Living Room 1 of 5”, “Living Room 2 of 5” etc.
