How should I label my moving boxes?

  1. Decide what you will pack in the moving box. Packing similar items in each box will make labelling easier.
  2. Label each box on the top and sides, indicating what contents are in the box (e.g., utensils, books, or sheets).
  3. Label each box with what room it belongs in, so the movers know where to place it in your new home (e.g., if the box contains your sheets, mark it master bedroom). This will simplify the unpacking process since you won’t have to move items from one room to another after unloading.
  4. Number each box. Knowing how many boxes you’re moving in total will help ensure that nothing gets lost during the move.
