When you’re in the midst of a move, you need the entire process to go as smoothly as possible. There are a few steps you can take to ensure this happens, including properly labeling your moving boxes. Here are three tips for organizing your boxes, so you can avoid confusion and make unpacking as stress-free as possible.

How Should You Label Your Moving Boxes?

1. Label Boxes on All Sides

Although it might seem logical to label your moving boxes once or twice, labeling the boxes on all sides can make it very simple to see what you’re picking up — even when that box is in a large stack in the back of your moving van. Label your moving boxes on all sides, as well as the top so it’s easier to organize them when you get to your destination.   

2. Write Large & Legibly 

When you label boxes, focus on writing large and legibly with a dark colored permanent marker. Try to use a thick marker to make it easier to read the box at a distance. If you have poor handwriting, ask a family member or friend to help. 

3. Buy Printable Labels

To make labeling fast, easy, and effective, consider investing in sheets of printable sticker labels. By running these sheets through your home printer, you can create multiple copies of identical labels, making it easy to label multiple boxes on all sides quickly and efficiently.
