Alsopack a personal overnight bag (change of clothes, laptop, and toiletries) to take with you in the car. Make these the last things youpack so you can find them right away.

Check the full list of non-allowables that Atlas cannot transport so you can make other moving arrangements ahead of time
To save time and labor, pack things in place whenever possible. For instance, pull out your sock drawer and seal the socksinside with plastic wrap instead of taking them out and packing them in a box.

Vacuum seal your off-season clothes for easy storage when you arrive at your new home.
Write detailed labels on boxes stating which room they belong in (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, dining room, etc.) and writelabels on the side instead of the top so they can be seen when the boxes are stacked.
To avoid losing small parts like screws and cords, put them inside plastic bags and secure them on the item they belong to withtape.
Take photos to remember how the wires are connected for your electronics instead of struggling to put your sound systemback together.
The safest way to pack electronics is in their original boxes.
Pack your dishes vertically in a box like records, instead of horizontally in stacks. They’ll be less likely to break.
