10 Golden Tips for Professional Furniture Packing

Practical tips from experts to pack your furniture safely and protect it from scratches and breakage during moving

Introduction: Importance of Proper Packing

Proper packing is the difference between furniture arriving intact or damaged. At Al Afdal, we've seen thousands of moves and learned that 90% of damage occurs due to poor packing, not poor moving.

Good packing isn't just wrapping items with paper; it's a science requiring knowledge of appropriate materials for each furniture type. This guide shares 10 golden tips from our experience in furniture moving in Jeddah.

1. Start Early and Prepare Well

**Early Start = Less Stress**

Biggest mistake people make is starting packing one or two days before moving. This leads to:
- Random, rushed packing
- Forgetting important items
- Severe stress and fatigue
- Increased breakage probability

**Ideal Timeline:**

**4 Weeks Before:**
- Buy packing materials (varied size boxes, bubbles, tape, markers)
- Start packing seasonal items and books

**2-3 Weeks Before:**
- Pack decorations and antiques
- Pack off-season clothes
- Clean and pack unused appliances
