Renting a Moving Truck? Try these Packing Tips to ease the load

If you’re renting a Moving Truck then chances are high that you’re going to be packing the truck on your own too. Value Group has plenty experience in Moving Truck Rental in South Africa and we’ve put together a few Packing Tips to ease the process of a Self-Drive Move.

Value’s Packing Tips for Self Drive Moves

Start the packing process as early as possible and ensure you have the right packing materials to do the job. Get hold of proper Moving Boxes (double wall boxes) and other packaging materials that are large enough and strong enough to accommodate your needs.

Larger boxes allow you to maximise the space inside them which means you’ll be making fewer trips to and from your Rental Truck. Remember to find Moving Boxes that are a similar size – this will make your life a whole lot easier when packing your Rental Truck.

• Avoid packing your Moving Boxes to the point where you could injure yourself when lifting them.
• Rather than packing your Moving Boxes to breaking point, fill in the gaps with lightweight items like linen and pillows. This will also add protection to delicate goods in the box.
• Pack the heaviest items at the bottom of the box.
• Ensure that all lids and bottle tops are securely sealed. You don’t want to arrive on the other side and find your favourite table cloth covered in tomato sauce.
• Use a reliable parcel tape to secure boxes from top to bottom
• Finally, label the Moving Boxes and where applicable mark “Fragile” on boxes containing delicate items.
