    For the hard to remove labels, just warn the sticker up with a hair drier. It warms up the glue and comes off without any problem :)

  • @faithhaney337

    idea for the shipping labels on furniture, place painters tape down first then place the sticker on. Painters tape is made to be removable.

      @wronglayerbutok 3 роки тому +1

      Put the tape on your clothes first before putting it on paper or cardboard so it doesn’t peel off the cardboard. At least that’s what I do before placing it on a surface to paint on. It’s not a big deal, but for it to be 100% removable you might need to do that!

    • @HuskyLabMama
      @HuskyLabMama 2 роки тому +1

      Actually that is incorrect. painters tape is designed to only come off within a few hours but if you leave it on for longer than that then it starts been difficult to take off. the best way to get any stickered item of anything is with a heating gun of some kind or hairdryer to heat up the glue and remove it that way

  • @allisonr7124

    Label the box with a number and then just make a word doc with the number of the box and contents...so much easier to just type a master list and make copies for everyone in the family... Try to load the boxes numerically so their easy to find when they come off the truck.

  • @andreabradley5837
    @andreabradley5837 5 років тому +16

    You can write on the side of the box in marker. Painters tape for furniture. Your boxes must be completely full and a human has to lift them. Stack plates, framed photos, etc. vertically. Use standard sized moving boxes, your driver will thank you.

    For those who could not find the print outs....Look on the back of the Avery 8163 package and follow the instructions. It will tell you to go to the Avery website.

I hope that I can help them in any way possible (maybe I'll even get my own room!!!

This time, I hope to be more involved with packing and preparing and I am excited to move to a new house!

    Thanks for the tips! I've got a move coming up really soon, and I love the idea of creating a moving index! I've moved a lot too but I was never prepared as I should be lol.

    Instead of the binder labels, just use a roll of painters tape/ a sharpie to label items. Painters tape is built to not permanently stick to surfaces, so it is easy removal.
