How to Pack Your BungoBoxes

You've already taken the first step to ensure that this move will be your easiest yet by choosing BungoBox and set your mind at ease that you haven't chopped down a forest to move your belongings!

What's next? Packing them of course! While BungoBoxes are very easy to use, we can still share a few tips with you to make it even easier.

1. Lighten Your Load:

Use moving as a time to purge. Do not pack things you do not use or that are no longer needed in your life. Have a moving sale about a month before you move, then you can use that money to help pay for your move. For everything you don’t sell, donate those items to charity and get the tax write offs.

2. Plan Your Staycation:

Pack up your family as if you’re going on vacation for a few days. This will make your life a lot easier the first few days in the new home.

3. Roll & Pack:

Using BungoWheels, roll a stack of 4 empty BungoBoxes into the room you are packing. Remove all the BungoBoxes from the BungoWheels except one; now begin to pack that box. Once it is full, close the lids and place an empty box on top and repeat. Once you have packed and stacked 4 or 5 boxes, roll them to your staging area and organize by how you want the truck to be loaded.

4. The Box Ruler:

Unlike traditional moving boxes, where you have to put very heavy items like books in a small box or it will crush, you can get by with the Large BungoBox for 90% of your items. Just pack your box as full as you like, let weight be the judge and close the lid. You never have to worry about your boxes crushing or the bottom falling out again.

5. Don’t Forget Your Name Tags:

Use the labels provided to keep track of what is in each box. Place the labels on the ends of the boxes so that you can see what is in each box when it is stacked. Use the BungoBox tracking sheet to keep tabs on all your boxes and the contents.

6. Last = First:

Place one or two boxes in each room and label those boxes. Place items in these boxes that you will need right up until moving day. Then you know when you get the new place these boxes will be opened first so that you can get to your most important items right away.

7. Use what Ya Got:

Save on packing materials by using towels, socks and T-Shirts as filler on your most fragile items (just make sure you save a few towels and sheets to use for your first few days in the new place). If you need some help here, be sure to order recycled and recyclable BungoWrap with your boxes.

8. Don’t Break Your Back:

BungoBoxes are strong and will hold as much as you can put in them. It is true that you don’t have to lift them very often, but you may occasionally; therefore try to keep the weight of each box below 50 pounds.
