Collect your supplies:
Use boxes, not plastic bags. Boxes are sturdier and stack well, taking up less space. Also, plastic bags can trap humidity which can cause damaging mildew.
Invest in good quality, sturdy boxes and packing materials. Boxes should be sturdy enough to hold up for years under the weight of the stack. You may be tempted to get boxes for free from supermarkets and liquor stores; however, organizing is difficult with mismatched boxes. You can buy standard-sized boxes and specialty boxes for items such as TVs, videotapes and pictures.
For wrapping breakables, paper will do, but bubble wrap can be used repeatedly, is cleaner, and because it is transparent, makes identifying contents easier.
Most people end up needing more tape than they thought they would when packing.
Once you have all your supplies collected your job will become much easier and move forward quite a bit faster.
