Creative Ways To Label Your Boxes
I have moved so many time, you can relate I know. These are a few creative ways to label your boxes that will make things a little more interesting, and get the job done without so much writing on the boxes.
Number or Letter Code
First organize and label your boxes by room so the movers will know where to put things. Instead of writing on each box what is inside, you create a master list on a separate sheet of paper. Give each box a number or letter and on a separate sheet of paper keep track of what is in each box according to the number/letter on the box. So you have packed your winter clothes and shoes. Seal the box as usual, and give this box a number, start with 1, on your master sheet, beside the 1 write, winter clothes and shoes. This is an easy way to keep up with what’s in the boxes, and it’s much easier to write on your paper than on the box top. You will still want to write fragile or this side up on boxes when appropriate.
Use Symbols
This way is similar to the number or letter system, but instead you use symbols. You can have some fun with this. If you like to draw you can draw dishes on the kitchen box and dresses on your clothing box.
For Kids
This is such a great idea to get the kids involved. My mom used to do this for my brother and me when we moved. Give the children their boxes to pack their things in and some colored markers (washable of course). Direct them to decorate their boxes however they want to. This will get the kids involved, give them something to do that is creative and interesting and they will be able to recognize their boxes when they get to your new home.
Nobody really likes packing to move, but with a little creativity it can be a way more enjoyable necessary task.
