Keep a folding table handy for extra surface area when packing, wrapping and sealing boxes.
Celi, Director of Brand + Design
Liquor stores have the best free moving boxes because they're heavy-duty and often come with handles.
Jake, Strategic Partnership Manager
Make sure you don’t leave empty air in the boxes you pack. If a box isn’t filled to the brim and you stack other boxes on top of it, you could risk it collapsing and damaging items. Packing paper, extra blankets, old clothes, etc. are great to safely fill up the box so that there’s no empty air!
Laura, UX Design
Start with the non-necessities — things you don't use regularly, like books, artwork and decor..
Annie, Graphic Design
Put clothes on hangers prior to moving so they're easy to transfer to a new closet space.
Jennifer Olvera, Senior Copywriter
Sweater sleeves and coat sleeves provide great protection when you’re packing fragile items. (Pro tip: the same trick will protect souvenirs — like wine from France and bottles of olive oil from Italy — during future travels.)
