The Colorful Side of Moving

Pasadena moving companies utilize various strategies to keep the relocation process well-organized. Which strategy is selected depends on a number of factors, and of course, on the Pasadena moving company itself. You, too, however, stand to benefit by finding ways to organize your move. A careful arranging of important steps and tasks invariably facilitates a smoother move with fewer headaches and greater satisfaction.

One of the most convenient and simple organizational strategies involves the use of color. No, you won’t be dabbing paint onto a large sheet of canvas. The strategy in question is the simple process of color-coding your packing containers. We Pasadena movers heartily recommend this highly effective measure.

Color-coding answers the burning question – what do I do with all those moving boxes I purchased from supply stores or wrested from local retailers. If you’re game for color-coding, the first thing you’ll need (besides packing containers) is colored labels. You can get these at stationary stores or other outlets. Downloadable colored labels are available, as well. If you’d rather not go with labels, multi-colored markers or colored adhesive tape will do the trick.

The next step is assigning a different color to each room. Then it’s just a matter of correlating the container label color with the appropriate room. Bingo – you immediately know which property goes in which room.

Ideally, you shouldn’t limit yourself to one label per container. A single label might not be readily visible. As a result, you could be turning large, heavy boxes back and forth to locate your code. A far less strenuous alternative is labeling the top and a minimum of two sides of each packing box.

Remember, a good number of people forget to mark their packing containers. Color-coding offers you a simple way to keep track of what goes where. And won’t that be a relief after the long and arduous moving process?
