Packing up and moving house is an unforgettable experience, but at the same time, it can also turn into a stressful one. We want to make boxing and unboxing your items as painless as possible. These extremely useful hacks will reduce the stress and expense of packing for moving. To fit every item into your rental truck, may at first seem like a bit of a puzzle, but there are some general tips like, not leaving everything for the last minute, start packing beforehand or make sure you have plenty of packing tape in stock. These extremely useful hacks will minimize the stress and expense of packing a moving truck for moving.

• • Rent moving boxes.

Depending on where you live, rental bins can cost 50% less than buying cardboard boxes. Renting plastic ones are both crushproof and waterproof, and at the same time is a smart alternative.

• • Use vacuum space bags to pack a moving truck.

Pillows, blankets, and even your clothes take up lots of space when packing. If you squeeze items like these, you’d be able to pack more lightweight stuff into fewer boxes. The problem is vacuum space bags costs around $20. But you can use an ordinary garbage bag, vacuum cleaner and rubber band.

• • Packing and labeling.

An easier way to get things organized is to take a photo of the stuff that goes into a box before packing. To make this hack work you’ll need to give the photo and the box the same name for an easy testimonial, for example, bedroom box #3.

• • DIY cheap packing material for packing a moving truck.

If you own a paper shredder, chances are you’ll be shredding a ton of paper clutter while you’re getting ready to move. Instead of dumping the shredded paper into the recycling bin, you can use it to cushion blows. Stuff the paper shreds into plastic grocery bags before using fragile items. Just remember to tie a knot at the top of each bag to avoid spilling. By the way, clean plastic bottles can be used to stop odd shaped items from shifting around the confines of boxes.

• • • Use and label Zip lock bags to organize small things.
    • Create a few problem-solving kits (it may include bed and bath kit, first aid kit).
    • Prevent liquids from leaking.

A little bit of kitchen plastic wrap will stop liquid toiletries from leaking while moving. Just place a small sheet of plastic wrap over the opening. Next, put the cap back on. It works for airplanes too.

• Use heavy-duty outdoor trash bags for wrapping your clothes.
