Quality packaging, a better moving experience!
Quality Packaging Puts the Positive Back Into Moving
Moving house can be a challenge. Even if the move is a step forward, complex emotions can make it stressful. But it doesn’t have to be like that. There are measures you can take to make it easier and turn the experience into a positive one. The right packaging has the power to do just that. This is how…
BIG CHANGES BRING REAL STRESS
Imagine for a moment you’ve just moved out of the house you grew up in to begin an exciting new chapter in your life. Knowing just how tough changes like this can be, you take along the possessions that hold the most sentimental value so you can hold on to some happy memories.
As you begin to unpack in your new house, you suddenly feel less optimistic when you find your father’s artwork crushed in a box that clearly couldn’t handle the demands of the journey. Now you feel like you’ve made a huge mistake!
WHY IS MOVING SO EMOTIONALLY TAXING?
A survey by OnePoll on behalf of North American Van Lines found that moving house ranks as one of the most stressful and traumatic life events. In fact, 64% of the survey participants cited moving as the most stressful thing they’ve ever endured.
But why does it cut so deep? There’s a lot going on when you pack up and ship out. You’re going through a significant life change, and the lack of familiarity or perceived safety, and security can cause anxiety. You may also be leaving cherished people and places behind. Almost everything about it throws you out of your comfort zone and into the unknown.
Although the emotional impact of moving is usually more distressing than the physical act, mishaps in the handling and transit process can aggravate the situation further. Finding damaged irreplaceable heirlooms or valuables can easily dial up the negative emotions and make moving an experience you’d rather avoid.
MOVING CAN BE A SIMPLER HAPPIER PROCESS
Some emotional discomfort is inevitable, but there are things you can do to improve the overall process. Planning early will give you time to adjust to logistical snags, listing reasons why the move is a step forward will give you something positive to focus on, and staying organised will help you tick the right boxes.
It’s also essential to hire professional movers who understand the human impact of their job and will treat your items with the care they deserve. But most importantly, using quality boxing and packaging that can handle the rigours of travel will guarantee safe passage for your valuables.
WHY PACKAGING MATTERS WHEN MOVING
Quality packaging that protects your possessions on the journey will allow you to surround yourself with the items that are important to you. A loved one’s painting, an ornamental piece, or even some vintage furniture you had in your old house can help you experience that familiar feeling of home again.
A quality packaging solution can improve the packing process by ensuring boxes fit well in the truck. It can prevent damage, reduce transport costs, and help movers handle the boxes more effectively.
