Labeling rules that survive moving day
Print or copy labels onto two sides of every box so helpers can read them when boxes are stacked. Use a room name, box number, priority note, and a short contents clue. Avoid vague labels like miscellaneous unless the box truly has no room destination.
Recommended label fields
- Room destination, not old-room origin.
- Box number and total count for that room.
- Priority: open first, normal, storage, or fragile.
- Short contents note, such as mugs, towels, cables, or pantry.
