10 Moving Tips to Stay Organized and Stress-Free with Binly

Best Practices

Home Articles
Moving doesn't have to mean chaos. Whether you're relocating across town or across the country, a little organization goes a long way. Here are 10 smart tips to pack, track, and unpack efficiently, with help from Binly every step of the way.

Highlights

  • Label every box with a QR code and photo inventory
  • Tag boxes by room, category, and priority for easy sorting
  • Store manuals, setup photos, and notes right in the app
  • Quickly locate essentials with keyword search and filters
  • Mark fragile and heavy bins clearly on the box
  • Access your full inventory anytime, even after the move
  • Share your Binly list with movers, friends, or family

1. Label Everything Clearly

Use Binly's QR code labels to tag each box with the room it belongs to and a photo-based list of its contents. You can even add notes like "Open First" so your essentials are easy to spot.

2. Use a Numbering System

Binly automatically numbers your boxes when you scan and save them in the app. No need for a separate spreadsheet—you'll have a searchable, digital inventory at your fingertips.

3. Pack by Room, Not by Type

Stick to packing one room at a time. With Binly, you can tag each bin with its location (e.g., "Kitchen") so unpacking is a breeze.

4. Color-Code Your Boxes

Binly lets you sort and filter by room, category, or custom tags, effectively replacing physical color-coding with a smarter digital system.

5. Create an “Essentials” Box

Snap a photo of your essentials box and mark it as a priority in Binly. When you're searching for your toothbrush or phone charger, you'll know exactly where to look.

6. Take Photos of Complex Setups

Before unplugging your TV or dismantling your desk, take photos and upload them to the relevant Binly container. Reassembly is so much easier when the visuals are right there.

7. Seal Liquids Separately

Store toiletries and cleaners in a bin labeled "Liquids," and make a note in Binly to handle with care. You can also tag it as "Leak Risk" to avoid accidents.

8. Use Smaller Boxes for Heavy Items

Keep books and dense items in small, manageable boxes to avoid injuries and box damage. Mark them as “Heavy” on the outside, and use Binly to list what's inside for quick access later.

9. Mark Fragile Items Clearly

Write “Fragile” on the outside of boxes with breakables. Use Binly to tag these boxes in your inventory so you can easily group, locate, and prioritize them during your move.

10. Unpack Strategically

With Binly's searchable inventory, you can prioritize unpacking by room or item. No more opening five boxes to find a spatula.

11. Bonus Tip: Unpack with Binly for a Fresh Start

As you unpack, use Binly to move items from "Box" to their final room or location. You'll know exactly where everything belongs, making it easy to set up a well-organized home from day one.

Make Moving Smarter with Binly

Moving doesn't have to be a mess. With Binly, you gain full control of your packing and unpacking process. Try it for your next move and experience how easy staying organized can be.
