Start with the right materials
Good packing starts with strong boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape and markers — weak or reused boxes are the main reason items get crushed in transit.
Use small boxes for heavy items like books and larger boxes for light, bulky things like bedding so no single box becomes too heavy to carry safely.
Pack room by room and label clearly
Packing one room at a time keeps everything organised and makes unpacking far easier at the new home.
Label every box with the room and a short note of the contents, and mark fragile boxes clearly so the crew handles and stacks them correctly.
Protect fragile and valuable items
Wrap plates, glasses and electronics individually, fill gaps with paper so nothing shifts, and keep fragile boxes lighter than the rest.
Pack documents, jewellery and small valuables in a separate bag you carry yourself, so the most important items never leave your hands.
FAQ
Does MoveMint Dubai provide packing materials?
Yes. Boxes, wrapping, tape and labels can be included once the move size is confirmed, or the team can handle full packing for you.
How far ahead should I start packing?
Start with rarely-used items a week or two before, and leave daily essentials for last. Full packing support can also be booked if time is short.
