Before you start packing, go through each room and label things to be packed or not packed. Also it is good to label items that may not be moving or are being donated and given away. JB Moving can provide you with the labels to help make things a little less stressful.

Boxes are like movers, they come in all shapes and sizes. JB Moving uses industry standard size boxes for packing and moving your goods. When you pack yourself, stick to some simple rules: -The heavier the item, the smaller the box. -The lighter the item, the bigger the box. -Pack each box with heavy items on bottom and lighter on the top. -Mark each box on the side, with contents and location in new home. -Stuff empty space with paper and keep boxes from being crushed.
