Packing can only be done efficiently if you use the right packing materials. It is the only way you can protect your things from damage. And so you should make sure that you actually get the packing materials most appropriate for your things. To start with you would need lots of sturdy boxes. Depending on your things you could need special boxes for stems and other glassware. You may also prefer wardrobe boxes to make an easy packing and unpacking of your clothing. To save money though, you can ask boxes from grocery stores. Just make sure that they are sturdy enough for your things. For more delicate items, you might also want to buy brand new boxes with the right sizes. You also need bubble wrap, packing peanuts and packing paper to provide cushion to your things especially the delicate ones. For one you would need to wrap glassware with bubble wrap before putting them in a box. You would also need to wrap them with wrapping paper to prevent scratches and to minimize breakage. Packing peanuts and packing papers are also useful in filling empty spaces. Of course, you would need packing tapes in order to seal and secure the boxes when packing. Be generous in sealing the bottom of the boxes. Then seal the top securely as well. Make sure you even tape the sides to provide more support to the weight of your things inside. To make things more organized especially in unloading and unpacking, you need to label the boxes too. So don't forget to prepare markers as well.
