10 Packing Tips for a 100% Safe Home Shifting

Great packing is 80% of a successful move. Use these field-tested tips from our Surat crew to protect your belongings.

1. Room-by-room, never mixed

Pack one room at a time and label the box with room + contents. It cuts unpacking time in half.

2. Heavy items in small boxes

Books, tools and dishes go in small cartons; blankets and clothes in large ones. This prevents cartons from bursting.

3. Double-wrap glassware

Bubble wrap + newspaper + corrugated separators between plates. Never lay plates flat — always stand them upright.

4. Protect furniture corners

Use thermocol corner guards and stretch film. Disassemble beds and wardrobes; keep screws in labeled ziplock bags.

5. Photograph electronics before unplugging

It makes reassembling your TV, router and speakers effortless at the new home.
