Packing Tips: Smart Tips for Moving in Metro Atlanta
BoxValet
Whether you’re moving from Sandy Springs to Vinings or downsizing in Mableton, one thing’s certain: packing can make or break your move.
BoxValet gives you the perfect tools—clean, stackable, plastic moving boxes—but it’s how you use them that takes your move from chaos to control. Follow these updated packing strategies to get the most out of your rental and make moving day smoother.
1. Roll Your Way to More Space
Rolling your clothes (instead of folding) saves serious space and reduces wrinkles.
-
Fit more in each bin
-
Quickly spot what you packed
-
Avoid overstuffed loads
Need to move bulkier clothing or out-of-season gear? Consider adding our optional moving bags when you book online.
2. Label with Detail
Each BoxValet bin includes a label, but here’s how to take it further:
-
Use “Living Room - Fragile Decor” instead of just “Living Room”
-
Color-code bins by room
-
Label tops and sides for fast ID during stacking
It’ll make your move across College Park or Tucker that much easier.
3. Pad with What You Have
Forget packing peanuts. Protect your stuff and pack smarter:
-
Wrap dishes with towels
-
Use socks between glassware
-
Cushion electronics with hoodies or blankets
It saves space, reduces waste, and maximizes each bin.
4. Build a Go-To Bin
Keep one bin accessible and label it “OPEN FIRST.”
Include:
-
Chargers
-
Daily meds
-
Paper towels
-
Kids’ essentials
-
Snacks + tools
If you’re moving from Stone Mountain to Chamblee, that one bin will save you a trip to the store.
5. Stack Like a Pro
Our bins are uniform and designed to stack safely.
-
Put heavier bins on the bottom
-
Lighter bins (pillows, linens) on top
-
Use the built-in grooves to secure the stack
Need help moving those bins? Add a bin dolly to your order ($7/week). Just remember—it’s for moving bins, not furniture.
Real Story: Marietta to East Point, Without the Mayhem
Nia and Drew had just three days to move from Marietta to East Point. They booked a 3-bedroom bundle, added a dolly, and followed BoxValet’s packing tips.
“We labeled every bin by room and packed with towels and sweaters. We even had a dedicated ‘first night’ bin. The dolly made it easy to wheel stacks out to the truck. We finished faster than we thought.”
What NOT to Pack in Your Bins
Even our durable bins have their limits:
-
No open liquids (they might leak)
-
No frozen/perishable foods
-
Keep passports, birth certificates, or jewelry with you
-
Don’t pack items you’ll need before moving day (unless it’s in your essentials bin)
