Packing up your home can feel overwhelming, but with the right plan and approach, you can make the process smooth and stress-free. At Mighty Man Movers, we’ve helped Houston families pack and move for nearly 20 years—here are our top tips to make your packing easier:

Begin packing well in advance, starting with items you don’t use every day. Seasonal clothes, décor, and extra kitchenware can go first.

Moving is the perfect chance to downsize. Donate or toss items you no longer need—this saves time, space, and money.

Invest in sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Specialty boxes like wardrobe boxes and dish packs protect your valuables.

Write the room name and a short list of contents on each box. Mark fragile boxes so movers know to handle them with extra care.

Focus on one room at a time to stay organized. This method makes unpacking much easier, too.

Wrap glassware, dishes, and breakables individually. Use towels, clothing, or packing paper for extra cushioning.

Keep boxes at a manageable weight—ideally under 50 lbs. Heavy items like books should go in small boxes to prevent injury and box breakage.

Pack an “essentials box” with items you’ll need right away: toiletries, snacks, a change of clothes, medications, phone chargers, and important paperwork.

Seal lids tightly, place bottles in plastic bags, and label them to avoid leaks. Movers often can’t transport flammable liquids, so plan accordingly.

Our movers bring furniture blankets, dollies, shrink wrap, and years of experience—ensuring your belongings are packed, loaded, and transported safely.

• Get boxes in a few sizes: small (books, dense items), medium (kitchenware, tools), large (linens, pillows).
   
• Look for boxes with flap locks or handles so they’re easier to carry.
   
• Always check the cardboard thickness / the Edge Crush Test (ECT). Heavier or fragile items need more durable boxes.
   
• Specialty boxes help: wardrobe boxes (keeps hanging clothes straight), dish packs, TV boxes, mirror/picture boxes.
   
• Don’t forget packing paper, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, tape — a good box is one thing, but protection matters.
   
• Consider renting reusable plastic boxes if you’re making a short move or want something sturdier. Some places like Fordboxes offer that.
