• Choosing Supplies for an International Move

Planning for an international move can be stressful and overwhelming, but it is a crucial element for an efficient moving process. If you decide to pack your household yourself and have a mover load and unload them for you, you can save a great deal. Moving supplies play an important role in this, as a well prepared move is not complete without supplies- well chosen supplies will help ensure a smooth packing process.. Choosing your supplies ahead of time can be tricky, as not every household fits every supply list, but there are some general rules that apply to developing a moving and budget plan when it comes to supplies.

First, and most importantly, evaluate the size of your household goods and how you plan to pack them in boxes. Available in small, medium, and large sizes, boxes may also come in specialty sizes. Frame, file, kitchen, and wardrobe boxes are amongst some of the specialty boxes available, and can be figured into a moving budget as needed. Owners can either choose to evaluate how many, and what type, of boxes are needed, or ask to have their moving company give them a reliable idea of these numbers as they have a great deal of experience with this. Generally first time movers are better off having their household evaluated for them.

Large moving boxes are normally used for packing the lighter, easier to lift household items such as bedding, towels, and coats. Use medium boxes for things that aren't quite heavy, but difficult to carry unboxed, like pots and pans, cooking sets, and larger electronics or appliances The smaller boxes can be used for Important keepsakes, CD's and DVD's, books, magazines, and photo albums. Use specialty boxes for your particularly fragile household goods that may otherwise be damaged or broken easily. Frame boxes protect your pictures or paintings, kitchen boxes can protect your good plates and dining sets with individual padded dividers for things like plates and serving platters, and wardrobe boxes can be used to pack items normally hung in the closet- hanger and all.

Aside from boxes there are other moving supplies that are important to have before packing. Tape for packing is important, as you need to close all these packed boxes up, as well as scissors to cut the tape with. Packing foam or newsprint is also a must have for those items that must be padded or stuffed during packing to prevent damage. It's also a good idea to have a permanent marker for labeling boxes. Ask your moving company about what supplies they offer, as they may have a package that covers these needs.

Once you have evaluated, or have had evaluated, the contents of your household and how you plan to have them packed, you can begin choosing these supplies. Given a good idea on how to pack with what supplies this should not be too hard. With a well laid out plan and budget, packing and moving your goods should go smoothly, making for a streamlined transition to your new home.
