SMART PACKING HACKS THAT SAVE TIME AND SPACE

Packing for a house move can feel overwhelming. Between clothes, kitchenware, electronics, and bulky furniture, you might be wondering how all your stuff will fit into boxes — or worse, into the moving lorry.

The good news? With some smart packing hacks, you can save time, space, and even money during your move. As experienced Singapore movers, we’ve seen it all — here are our favourite tips to make packing less stressful and way more efficient.

🧳 1. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items

Why waste space on empty luggage? Your rolling suitcases are perfect for packing:
✅ Books
✅ Electronics
✅ Shoes
✅ Heavy items you don’t want to carry by hand

💡 Pro tip: Suitcases with wheels make transporting heavy loads a breeze — no need to strain your back.

👕 2. Roll, Don’t Fold Your Clothes

Instead of folding clothes flat, roll them tightly. This trick saves space and reduces wrinkles. You’ll be surprised how much more you can fit into a box or drawer.

🥤 3. Use Kitchen Items for Double Duty

Plates, cups, and bowls can double as protective containers.
✅ Store spices in pots
✅ Use socks to cushion glasses
✅ Place small kitchen gadgets inside Tupperware

Less wasted space = fewer boxes to move.

🛋️ 4. Protect Breakables with Towels & Bedsheets

Instead of buying bubble wrap for everything, use what you already own.

• Wrap plates in dish towels

• Cushion mirrors with blankets

• Cover TVs with bedsheets

You save money on packing materials and keep fragile items safe.

🎨 5. Colour Code Your Boxes

Skip the messy black marker — go for colour-coded stickers or tape.
✅ Blue for bedroom
✅ Red for kitchen
✅ Yellow for living room

This makes unpacking a breeze because movers (and you) instantly know where each box belongs.

🗂️ 6. Label Like a Pro

Instead of writing just “Kitchen Stuff,” be specific:
📦 Kitchen – Plates & Bowls
📦 Bedroom – Bedsheets

The extra 5 seconds you spend labeling now will save you hours of searching later.

⏱️ 7. Pack an Essentials Bag

Don’t pack everything! Set aside a small bag with things you’ll need right away:

• Toiletries 🧼

• A few sets of clothes 👕

• Phone chargers 🔌

• Important documents 🗝️

• Snacks 🍫

Trust us, after a long moving day, you won’t want to dig through 10 boxes just to find your toothbrush.

✔️ Roll clothes instead of folding
