A useful moving packing checklist should cover each room, the boxes needed, labels, packing materials and any items that need special care. Start with things you rarely use, then pack everyday essentials last so they are easy to find when you arrive. Keep a separate essentials box with toiletries, medications, chargers, basic kitchen items, important documents and a change of clothes. Before moving day, check whether your removalist, insurer or building manager has any specific requirements for fragile, valuable or restricted items.
