It is important to have knowledge of packing of each and every item in your house even if you are hiring packers and movers.
The process of packing for a move is something that you makes you go round and round from one room to another. It gets started from the most difficult rooms of the house such as garage, store room, backyard shed, basement and the like. In the end, you come to your bedroom, the room that seems fairly easy to be packed
When you begin the packing of your bedroom while relocating to some other place you might think how to pack pillows as they are quiet heavier and the size is also somehow large.
If you pack pillows in cardboard boxes then they will definitely fill the entire moving box that means that you will have to arrange for 8-10 large size cardboard boxes only for your pillows. This is something that no one would like to do.
Here are some of the viable options that you can go for while packing you pillows for the purpose of moving:
Why packing pillows is difficult and easy at the same time:
• Packing pillows for relocating seems like something very straightforward and easy when we compare it with packing a kitchen, artworks, furniture and electronic appliances.
• The good thing is that cushions and pillows are not delicate possessions, which means that they won't get damaged if accidentally dropped anywhere during the move. They can get wet if they come in contact with water or can get dirty but cannot break whatever the situation maybe.
• Besides, there's no danger to carry them with you while shifting from one house to another– they are something that won't cause any harm to other belongings that you would carry along with them. However, all these things – pillows, blankets, bed sheets, comforters etc come in soft goods category and are shock absorbers as well.
• The only thing that is bad about pillow packing is that they take a lot of space because of its volume. They are soft and cushiony and that is the reason you have to arrange for more cardboard boxes for such items.
• If you don't want to increase your cardboard boxes then you should look for some packing techniques that saves the space and also doesn't allow your pillows to get dirty or wet.
Arrange for your packing supplies
In order to pack all your bedding sets safely you need to arrange for some packing supplies:
• Cardboard boxes – Arrange for some extra cardboard boxes. Make sure you know that pillows are large and light weighted at the same time. How big the box is to pack your pillows, it won't get heavy anyhow.
• Packing paper – when it comes to packing pillows then you won't need packing paper for it. You will just need one or two for the inside protection of the box.
• Trash bags – using brand new trash bags is a good way if you want to keep your pillows protected during the haul.
• Vacuum bags – you just have to keep your pillows in these bags and then seal them. This will keep them from all the dust and dirt.
• Packing tape – if you are using a cardboard box of a container for your pillows then you can use the packing tape to seal them.
• Bold Marker - to label the large boxes and containers, you will require some bold markers. The matter of the fact is that your pillows will definitely be the first thing you unpack after reaching your new place.
Sort out the pillows first
• First things first, it is very important to pack your pillows while relocating is to sort them out while taking a closer look at each pillow. See if it is trouble that you have to face while moving to a new place wherever that new place is.
• Perhaps some of the pillows might be too worn out or even torn from various places with their stuffing coming out of the cloth.
• There might be some pillows that might have become too slip to put your head on. There can also be some that you didn’t like ever since it has come to your place.
• It is the best time to get rid of the pillows that you don’t like and you were not able to sort them or remove them from the closet from a long time.
Pack your pillows in cardboard boxes
It is the most common way to pack anything for your move and that is moving boxes.
• Place a few sheets on the bottom of the boxes for added protection
• Then place a pillow in the box but make sure that the box is fully dry. It is should not be slightly damp even.
• Then put another pillow on the first one, and then press them so that you can make some space for another one. This will let the air out that is trapped between the two soft items.
• Add another pillow if there is any space left in the box. If there isn’t any then you can put a layer of packing paper for added protection.
• Then seal the box with the help of good quality of packing tape
• Then take a bold marker to label the boxes
You can also use vacuum bags to pack the pillows
Vacuum storage bags are quiet expensive but something on which you won’t regret spending. All you have to put the pillows in the vacuum bag and then pull the air out with the help of a pump.
So these are the ways that will definitely help you out in packing your pillows for the move. If you think that you won't be able to do it on your own then you can hire packers and movers for better assistance and guidance.
