Wrap It Up
The best way to pack your appliances for moving is to wrap them in bubble wrap or paper. This prevents damages to both the outside of the appliances and the inside, make sure you include the cord and plug so that it doesn’t tangle with other appliance or scratch them.
Separate And Conquer
Wrap each appliance individually for an easier packing experience, this way you can fit them in boxes and moving trucks easily.
Fill The Gaps
Once you have wrapped your appliances you’ll need to put them in boxes and fill the gaps left in there. Using paper, bubbles, or styrofoam, you can fill the gaps in the boxes, that way appliances don’t move around during the trip and get home safer.
Label Properly
Labeling helps you in two ways when packing your appliances for a move:
First, it makes it easier to unpack once you get to your new home.
