Label Moving Boxes on the Side

This short video from Boston moving company Premium Q Moving covers one practical detail of moving preparation: labeling boxes so their contents can be found after the move. The main tip is to place labels on the side of each box rather than the top, which the creator says makes the transition easier for the client. The video is aimed at people handling their own packing and labeling.
