Innovate and make Protection
So people aren't out-of-the-box type thinkers what I mean by that is that they end up packing things they could use throughout a move and they pack them up in boxes. This is where you get to be creative and innovative thinkers. All those teamwork games you played in school when you were young now are coming into play. This is your opportunity to be the problem solver you always knew you could be!
Things like old sheets that you were about to pack, doing! Use them to cover furniture or decorations. Use old clothes to cover or wrap things for protection. If you have a group of stuff that you are giving away before you move or throwing out be sure to go during it and see if it can be of any benefit. This takes away from the heaviness of boxes and adds defense. This is another often overlooked yet simple step you can take when moving.
Yes, selling...
I am always a big fan of doing things the cheap way but when it comes to guard of important material I am going to side with the professionals. There are actual protective packaging supplies out there that are particularly designed for protecting your items so that your items will go on the move. Good moving companies will be able to supply you with GREAT packing material. There is protective wrapping and tissue material that is very durable that comes pretty cheap. Also support the gripped cushioning. Some of the best moving companies will give you all your moving materials free of charge if you are moving their moving service which can save you a bunch of money.
No Used Boxes!
This is one of the best pieces of advice for you in your move, don't use used boxes. Please, get new boxes and I encourage "moving boxes". I have heard too many shock stories on how people were using old boxes and they broke on the handle and all their dishes broke. Also that their boxes got a little wet and totally fell apart because they weren't durable but "it seemed cost efficient.
