As you pack your items up, make sure to make a detailed inventory list as you go, we have found it easier to do this per room, making a list of each individual items that you have packed from each room. That way, when unboxing on the other end, you can check off the items as you go, so that you know you aren’t missing anything.

A top tip is to use smaller double walled boxes for heavier items such as ornaments, and larger boxes for cushions and linens.
Larger boxes with heavy items have a lot more chance of breaking during removal.
Fill any gaps in your packing boxes with clothing, towels, or even newspaper. This will avoid breakages of any items inside.
Make sure to pack your heavies boxes onto the van first, and the lighter boxes on top, this is to make sure that your heavier boxes don’t crush the lighter ones.
Avoid mixing items from rooms, this will make it easier for you when unpacking at the other end, make sure to label your boxes too to help you identify which boxes goes into which room.
Make sure to tape the boxes well, covering any bottom and top seams, making sure to wrap the tape around the boxes a few times, use ‘Fragile’ tape on any boxes that hold breakables, so you know to pack these boxes on top.
Have a valuable piece of artwork? Look at getting special fitted crates for packing your valuable items, never use regular boxes to pack expensive items such as antiques, paintings etc, wooden crates will keep your valuables safe and secure during moving.
