10 Expert Packing Tips to Make Your Move Easier

Packing is one of the most time-consuming parts of any move—but it doesn’t have to be stressful. At Spartan Movers, we’ve packed everything from studio apartments to 6,000 sq. ft. homes, and we know what works. Whether you're moving locally in the DMV area or heading cross-country, these packing tips will help you stay organized, protect your belongings, and save time on move day.

1. Start Early

Packing always takes longer than expected. Begin with the rooms or items you use least—seasonal clothing, storage closets, décor—and work your way toward daily-use items.

2. Declutter as You Pack

Before placing something in a box, ask yourself if it’s worth moving. Donate or toss what you no longer use. The less you move, the easier unpacking becomes.

3. Label Everything Clearly

Use a bold marker to label each box with its room and a short description of contents. For example: "Kitchen – Pots & Pans". Consider using color-coded labels or stickers to make unloading faster.

4. Use Small Boxes for Heavy Items

Books, tools, and canned goods can get surprisingly heavy. Pack them in small, sturdy boxes so they’re easier to lift and won’t break under pressure.

5. Wrap Fragile Items Properly

Use packing paper or bubble wrap to protect breakables. Wrap each item individually and fill empty spaces in boxes with crumpled paper or towels to prevent shifting.

• Pro Tip: Avoid newspaper for wrapping—ink can transfer to your items.

6. Tape the Bottom of Every Box

Sounds basic, but it’s a lifesaver. Reinforce box bottoms with at least two layers of packing tape to avoid any moving day disasters.

7. Keep an “Essentials” Box

Pack a small box or bag with must-have items: chargers, toiletries, toilet paper, snacks, medications, clothes, and basic tools. Keep this with you, not in the moving truck.

8. Use What You Have

Suitcases, laundry baskets, duffel bags—use them! Pack soft or non-breakable items inside and save on boxes.

9. Don’t Overpack Boxes

Try to keep each box under 50 lbs. Even professional movers like our Spartan crew appreciate a well-balanced load—it prevents injuries and keeps everything safer in transit.

10. Hire Pros for Packing (If You’d Rather Skip It)

If packing isn’t your thing, no worries—Spartan Movers offers full and partial packing services. We bring the supplies, protect your valuables, and get it done fast and right.

Expert Long-Distance Moving Advice from Spartan Movers

Relocating across states or even across the country is a big deal—and at Spartan Movers, we get it. Long-distance moves involve a different level of planning and preparation than local moves. Whether you're heading from Rockville, MD to the West Coast or making a shorter leap to a nearby state, we've got some expert tips to make your journey smoother, more organized, and stress-free.

1. Start Planning Early

The sooner you start planning, the better. Long-distance moves involve more logistics, from booking moving dates and arranging transportation to updating utilities and forwarding mail. Give yourself at least 6–8 weeks to prepare, so there’s room to breathe and pivot if needed.

2. Purge Before You Pack

The cost of a long-distance move often depends on the total weight of your belongings. Use this opportunity to downsize. Donate, sell, or toss anything you don’t absolutely need. It not only reduces moving costs but also makes unpacking way easier.

3. Label Everything Clearly

Long-distance moving usually means items are in transit longer and handled more than once. Clear labeling helps prevent mix-ups and makes unloading more efficient. Label boxes with your name, destination room, and a brief list of contents.

4. Pack with Protection in Mind

You never know what bumps the road will bring. Use sturdy boxes, high-quality tape, and plenty of padding for fragile items. Spartan Movers offers full packing services, but if you’re packing yourself, don’t skimp on bubble wrap, moving blankets, or stretch wrap.

5. Don’t Pack Essentials—Carry Them

Keep medications, important documents, toiletries, snacks, chargers, and a couple changes of clothes with you. You never know if a delay might occur. Consider this your “moving survival kit.”

6. Understand Delivery Windows

Unlike local moves, long-distance delivery times can span several days depending on distance, route, and logistics. Spartan Movers keeps you updated with real-time communication so you're never left guessing when your items will arrive.

7. Work With a Reputable Long-Distance Moving Company

Not all movers are equipped for the unique challenges of long-distance relocations. Spartan Movers has a proven track record of cross-state moves, ensuring every client receives high-quality service, honest pricing, and a smooth transition from start to finish.

Why Choose Spartan Movers for Your Long-Distance Move?

At Spartan Movers, we specialize in both local and long-distance relocations. Based in Rockville, Maryland, our experienced crews, clean trucks, and top-tier equipment ensure your move is executed with care and efficiency. From packing to delivery, our mission is to take the stress out of your move so you can focus on settling into your new home.
