Packing Hacks from Professional Removalists

At Northside Removals, we understand how hectic moving can be. No matter if you’re moving a studio apartment or a five-bedroom home, packing smart makes all the difference. With over 35+ years of experience as a leading packer and mover Brisbane, we’ve mastered the art of efficient, secure, and stress-free packing.

Smart Pre-Packing Strategies

Before you start putting things into boxes, it’s crucial to plan your packing process. Here’s how to start right:

1. Declutter First

Go everywhere and sort things into categories: Keep, Donate, Sell, Recycle or Discard.
You’ll save money and effort by moving only what you truly need.

2. Get The Right Supplies

At Northside Removals, we use quality packing materials to keep your belongings secure. We recommend:

Sturdy cardboard boxes (in small, medium, and large)
Packing tape
Bubble wrap and packing paper
Furniture blankets
Stretch wrap
Marker pens for labelling

Need help with this? Our Brisbane pre-packers and removals team can provide and pack everything professionally for you.

Packing Tips by Room

1. Living Room

Items	Hack
TVs	Use the original box. No box? Wrap with blankets + bubble wrap, and label as fragile.
Books	Pack flat in small boxes to avoid excess weight.
Decor	Wrap fragile items individually with paper or bubble wrap.

2. Bedrooms

Use suitcases for clothes – they already have wheels!
Leave clothes in the hanger and bundle them in garbage bags (open and down).
Label boxes by person or room to streamline unpacking.

3. Kitchen

Wrap plates vertically like records.
Use dish towels or paper towels between fragile items.
Label all boxes with “Fragile” and “This Side Up”.

Our Professional Packing Secrets As trusted Brisbane packers and movers, here are some hacks we use: 1. Secure Your Items Like a Professional

Tape the bottom of boxes with a double layer for extra support
Fill the empty spaces in the boxes with crumpled paper to prevent movement.
Avoid overpacking, especially fragile or heavy items.

2. Label Everything Clearly

Label not just the room, but also the contents (eg, “Kitchen – Plates & Bowls)
Use coloured stickers or labels for all rooms to match your new home’s layout.

3. Don’t Pack These Items

Perishables and open food items
Flammable or hazardous materials (eg, paints, aerosols)
Keep important documents with you
