Post-Holiday Pack-Out with SERVPRO of Greater Waco

The holidays are almost a second job between the decorating, cooking, and shopping.  After all of the time and effort invested; the biggest hassle is still packing it all back up and still having it readily available for the next season.  Let the professionals of SERVPRO® of Greater Waco help you with a few handy professional tips to make packing an organized breeze.

Just like on a job site, the first thing that needs to be done is an initial scope. This helps begin the process of organizing by determining what needs to be packed up and what additional supplies will be needed to complete the job at hand.

To ensure your Christmas pack up flows smoothly, make sure to have enough packing supplies. Items such as packing tape, box labels, boxes, wrapping paper, markers, bubble wrap and a small folding table to use as a staging area, are just a few things you’ll need.

Here are a few handy holiday specific packing tips:

*Wrap Christmas lights around hangers or a square piece of cardboard to keep them tangle free.

*Pack glass ornaments in plastic fruit trays or containers then pop into a box with crumpled paper for safe keeping.

*Hang wreaths on clothes hangers and cover with plastic bags.

*Consider storing wrapping paper in garment bags.

*Use vacuum seal bags for items like stockings, Christmas tree skirts or table runners.

*Wrap candle sticks in tissue paper and store them in paper towel cardboard tubes.

*Plastic-wrap your tree.  It makes the take down a breeze and keeps branches manageable.

*Under bed storage containers work great for garland.

Whatever you do make sure that items are packed securely, but not too tight, to prevent damage and make sure items are labeled easy identification.  We recommend putting the room name on the tags and to organize boxes based upon the room they will be used in.
