Packing On Your Own for a Move

Phoenix Moving LLC offers a full service experience, including packing your boxes, loading/unloading, shipping, staging, and more. However, our clients mainly focus on our shipping services where they pack their own belongings.

When packing your own boxes, you’ll need a few simple materials: boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper and/or newspaper, and finally a sharpie or marker of some sort for labeling. After assembling your boxes, you’ll want to lay down a few sheets of bubble wrap and line the box. As you proceed through packing each box, you’ll want to create layers using the bubble wrap as a platform. You want to wrap each item specifically such as glass in two to three layers of paper. Just roll and fold the ends like a burrito. You want to make sure to not roll all 2-3 sheets of paper at once. Be sure to not make each box too heavy, dish packs tend to be thicker and more sturdy than corrugated boxes.

When it comes to clothes there are two options. You can either stuff everything in a trash bag and the crew will use them as fillers while forming tiers in the truck or you can buy wardrobe boxes with steel bars to hang your clothes. The box assembly is pretty straight forward and we have an equal number of clients that take advantage of both options.

Throughout this packing process, I am always available and strongly recommend our clients call or text me if they have any comments, questions, and/ or concerns. I’m a locally born and raised in Arkansas and created Phoenix Moving LLC | Moving and Relocation Services to truly help clients avoid the hassle, the stress, and above all - cancellations that are too common. I love networking with our NWA (Northwest Arkansas) family and our team is always willing to go the extra mile for ultimate customer satisfaction. If you have questions about an upcoming move, call us at 479-332-1041.
