August 19, 2025

Packing doesn't have to be the most dreaded part of moving. Whether you're making a local move in Knoxville or Sevierville, or heading to another part of Tennessee, efficient packing can save you time, money, and stress. At Midas Touch Moving LLC, we specialize in helping families and businesses experience easy, organized transitions with our professional packing services. Here, we share our top packing hacks tailored to local needs, designed to ensure your household relocation is smooth, safe, and hassle-free.


Why Packing Right Matters for Your Move


Efficient packing goes beyond fitting items into boxes—it’s about protecting your valuables, saving space, and making unpacking simple. For Tennessee families and businesses alike, good packing practices mean fewer damages, quicker relocations, and a better overall moving experience.


Top Packing Hacks for a Fast and Organized Move


Start with a Clear Packing Plan


The first step to a quick packing process is organization. Map out your approach before you start boxing up your life.


- Make an inventory of your belongings to keep track of what goes where

- Gather all necessary packing materials: sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, markers, and specialty padding if needed

- Schedule donation pickups or initial junk removal to clear out items you don’t intend to move


Pack Room by Room


Focusing on one room at a time keeps the process manageable and organized.


- Begin with storage spaces and less-used rooms (attic, basement, guest rooms)

- Label each box with its contents and destination room for easy unpacking

- Use color-coded labels for even faster sorting upon arrival


Use Smart Packing Techniques


Professional movers know some effective packing tricks that save space and provide extra protection.


- Use towels and linens to wrap fragile items and fill empty space in boxes

- Place heavy items like books in small boxes, and lighter items in larger boxes

- Nest pots and pans and use kitchen towels to separate and protect them

- Stand plates vertically inside boxes to reduce the risk of breakage

- Use wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes to avoid wrinkles and speed up closet setup


Maximize Local Resources


Tennessee’s climate can be unpredictable, so consider weatherproofing your boxes if moving during rainy months. Plan ahead with waterproof totes or extra plastic wrap. Take advantage of local donation centers or recycling programs for any items you won’t be taking with you.


Keep Essentials Accessible


Prepare a dedicated “move-in essentials box” with the items you’ll need immediately, such as:


- Daily medications and toiletries

- Chargers and small electronics

- Clean clothes and bedding

- Important documents and valuables

- Children’s favorite toys or comfort objects
