Preparing for your family’s big move is hard work, but the work doesn’t end after the move is over. Unpacking all of your belongings can be just as difficult as the move itself. The professional team at Easy Moving & Freight in Union, KY, say planning ahead will make the unpacking process less stressful and help you get moved into your new home more quickly.

Below, this moving service explains four ways to make unpacking easy after you move:

• Stay Organized When Packing: The most important thing you can do before a move to make unpacking easy is to stay organized when packing. Group boxes of like items together, and clearly label every box in multiple places so you can read it no matter how the box is stacked. Put boxes of nonessential items — such as holiday decorations or books — on the truck first, while putting essential items — such as kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom belongings — on the truck last, allowing you to grab these must-have items with ease.
• Vacuum Seal Clothing & Linens: Save space and reduce the number of boxes to unload by vacuum sealing clothing and linens. Depending on the material, vacuum seal bags will triple the amount of storage space you have available.
• Don’t Overload Boxes: Overloading boxes will inevitably lead to frustration and broken belongings, so make sure you know the weight rating for the boxes you are using to pack. Standard 1.5 cubic foot boxes are made to hold about 65 pounds.
• Unpack in Stages: Don’t try to unpack everything the day you move in. Unpack essential items first, then gradually work your way through the moving truck until you are finished.
