The pack out is my favorite part of a contents job. I love getting the boxes set up, adding “do not stack” and “fragile” stickers, organizing them all by size, playing with bubble wrap … I mean, packing things carefully, and oh yeah, don’t forget the shrink wrap! What’s not to love right!
In order to have as much fun as I do wrapping china and packing up bathroom toiletries and little Susie’s toys, you need to be sure you have the right tools, packing materials, and the right packing techniques to get the job done fast, efficient, and organized. Having software for tracking, dollies for moving boxes, straps, properly setup moving trucks and a good storage facility are important. Aside from the obvious logistics, however, are three components I feel aren’t talked about enough – yet are critical to the pack out process.
