Discover Pro Movers’ expert box labeling tips that make unpacking fast and stress-free. The smartest way to mark your boxes in Philadelphia!
When you're moving, every box is a mystery—unless you've labeled it like a legend. At Pro Movers, we've seen firsthand how the right labels can save hours of stress. Whether you’re relocating to a new apartment in Fishtown or downsizing in Chestnut Hill, good labeling keeps your move smooth, organized, and efficient.
Skip the pens. Permanent markers (preferably black or red) are easy to spot and won't fade during the move.
Write the contents and room destination on at least two adjacent sides—not just the top. That way, no matter how the box is stacked, you’ll see what’s inside.
Instead of “Kitchen Stuff,” try:
Kitchen – Plates & Cups
Specific labels speed up unpacking and help avoid mix-ups.
Assign a color to each room (e.g., blue for kitchen, green for bedroom) and use colored tape or stickers. It makes things faster for both you and your movers.
Use a master list: mark boxes with numbers (e.g., Box #12 – Living Room) and keep a list on your phone or in a notebook with details. Great for large moves.
Don’t skip labeling altogether. It may seem like a time-saver, but it’ll cost you later.
Don’t write only on the top. Once stacked, those labels disappear.
Don’t use vague labels. “Misc” is not your friend when you’re hunting for towels.
