Recommendations for Packing Books in a move

Books are a real treasure for lovers of reading. And for them it would be a real disaster if one of their favorite books were bent, torn or lost during a move. That is why from our moving company we take special care of the books that we transport in each of our transfers. Are you going to make a move and want to protect your books during the move ? Follow the advice of Tampa Movers for packing books in a move and your novels will arrive safely in your new home.

How to transport books in a move safely

Before you start packing your books, you should ask yourself a question: Do I really want to keep them all? You have to assess the space you have in your new place and if you are going to use them in the future or if there is any reason to keep them, whether practical or sentimental. You can take advantage of the move to get rid of books that you no longer want or need by selling them online or by donating them to an NGO or library. And once you've decided which books you want to keep, you can start packing. Whether urgent or planned moves, the procedure should be the same.

Moving your furniture, electronic devices, clothes, and other items at your home is cumbersome, which is why local moving companies exist. Our track record in delivering exceptional services, maintaining competitive rates, and delivering high-value items in one piece, plus the list of happy clients, are among the reasons why relocating people and businesses is our priority.

TO SAVE TIME

All the packing up can take days, which you may not have if you are a busy professional with a job to attend to. What’s more, if you decide to use your vehicle, it will take multiple rounds to ferry everything, which will take even more time and costs. Our moving crews will take hours to do what you would ordinarily take days to accomplish, working efficiently and fast while being careful to avoid damage. From disassembly to packing, wrapping, loading, driving, offloading, and unpacking, you can have your moving work done in a short while by relying on a qualified and high-stamina group of professionals.

Make an inventory of all the books to transport

Before you start packing books, it is essential that you make a list with each of the titles that will be transferred in the move . In this way you will avoid loss. On the other hand, it is advisable to classify the books by categories to keep an order. You can group them, for example, by gender.

Use small boxes

Books tend to weigh more than it may seem at first glance, so it is better to avoid making very heavy boxes with the risk of injury during the move. Also, using a large box and not filling it all the way up can cause books to shift during transport and end up bending or tearing.

Protect books

If you have a valuable book or to which you keep a special affection, our recommendation is that you take it with you, either in your personal suitcase or in your own bag. While the rest of the books can be protected in the boxes  by cardboard dividers or bubble wrap. Or even with more homemade methods. Have you thought about wrapping your books with blankets or old clothes?
