A Stress-Free Guide: Packing Holiday Decorations When Moving with Victory Van Corporation
The holiday
season is a time of
joy, celebration,
and warmth, but it
can also be a time
of stress when
you're facing a
move. Fortunately,
with a reliable
moving company like
Victory Van
Corporation by your
side, you can make
the transition
smoother. One of the
challenges during
this time is packing
your cherished
holiday decorations.
These items hold
sentimental value,
and you want to
ensure they arrive
at your new home in
perfect condition.
Here's a guide on
how to pack holiday
decorations
effectively when
you're moving with
Victory Van
Corporation.
1.
Start
Early:
Before the
hustle and bustle of
moving day, give
yourself ample time
to prepare. Begin by
sorting through your
holiday decorations.
Determine which
items you want to
keep and which ones
you can let go.
Donating or selling
unwanted decorations
can lighten your
load, making the
packing process
easier.
2.
Gather Packing
Supplies:
You'll
need a range of
packing supplies to
ensure your holiday
decorations are
protected during the
move. Stock up on
sturdy cardboard
boxes, packing
paper, bubble wrap,
packing tape, and
markers for
labeling.
3.
Organize and
Label:
Categorize
your decorations by
type, size, and
fragility. Place
smaller ornaments in
divided boxes or egg
cartons to prevent
breakage. Be sure to
label each box with
its contents and
indicate whether
they're fragile or
not. Victory Van
Corporation's movers
will appreciate the
clear
labeling.
4.
Wrap with
Care:
Use packing
paper or bubble wrap
to individually wrap
delicate items like
glass ornaments,
figurines, and
ceramic decorations.
Ensure that each
item is cushioned to
prevent any damage
during the move. For
larger decorations
like wreaths and
artificial trees,
use plastic wrap or
special storage bags
to protect them from
dust and
damage.
5.
Protect Lights and
Garland:
Wrap
holiday lights and
garlands around
pieces of cardboard
or use cord winders
to prevent tangling.
Place these in
labeled boxes, and
consider labeling
each strand so you
can easily identify
them during the
unpacking
process.
6.
Pack in
Layers:
When
packing your
decorations in
boxes, layer heavier
and sturdier items
at the bottom and
more delicate ones
on top. Fill any
empty spaces with
packing paper or
bubble wrap to
prevent shifting
during
transit.
7.
Store Ornaments in
Plastic Bins:
If
you have a vast
collection of
ornaments, consider
using clear plastic
bins with dividers.
This not only
protects your
ornaments but also
allows you to see
what's inside
without opening the
box.
8. Pack
Tree Decorations
Last:
Save your
tree decorations,
like ornaments, tree
toppers, and
garlands, for the
very end. These
should be among the
first items you
unpack at your new
home, as they'll
help bring back the
holiday spirit even
amidst the chaos of
moving.
