How to Pack a Bag for Moving Day

Moving Day Advice: Pack a Suitcase

Moving day can be hectic, and it’s important to have easy access to essential items while your belongings are in transit. One of the best ways to stay organized is by packing a “moving day bag” or suitcase with everything you’ll need during the move. Olympic Moving and Storage offers personalized moving services and advice, and we’re here to help you pack the perfect moving day bag.

What To Pack In A Suitcase

• Clothing for a few days: Pack a few changes of clothes, including comfortable outfits for moving day and any events or appointments you have scheduled during the transition. Don’t forget pajamas, underwear, and socks.
• Toiletries: Include essential toiletries such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, shampoo, and any medications you may need. A small first aid kit is also a good idea.
• Essential documents: Keep important documents such as your ID, moving contract, lease agreement, and any financial paperwork in your moving day bag to ensure they’re easily accessible.
• Snacks and water: Moving can be exhausting, so pack some easy-to-eat snacks like granola bars, fruit, and bottled water to keep you fueled throughout the day.
• Phone charger and electronics: Remember your phone charger, laptop, and any other electronics you need during the move. Packing a power bank is also a good idea, just in case you can’t charge your devices immediately.

Suitcase Packing Tips

• Pack light but prepared: You don’t need to pack everything you own in your moving day bag—just the essentials. Think about what you’ll need for the first 24-48 hours in your new home.
• Use a durable suitcase or backpack: You’ll likely carry a sturdy suitcase or backpack with wheels or comfortable straps throughout the day.
• Stay organized: Use packing cubes or small bags to organize your belongings in your suitcase. This will make it easier to find what you need when needed.
