Packing is undoubtedly one of the most important tasks you will need to do when you move. Packing is the means through which you collect all you belongings and put them together for transport to your new home - which is, essentially, what a move is all about. It would be essential then, to take special care in packing your belongings to help facilitate a more efficient move.   Boxes are the main thing you need to pack your things, and you have several options when it comes to this. You can opt to rent plastic boxes, which are sturdier and more environment friendly, or buy used boxes (and have them recycled afterward). If you must buy new boxes, you can also sell them afterward for a bit of extra income. Boxes also come in different sizes so be sure to pick the right ones that will best accommodate all the things you have.   Do not forget as well to create a good inventory of the things you bring so you can better keep track of them. Also, it is recommended that you pack per room, without mixing anything in so that you can easily segregate and unpack everything when you get to your new home.
