I’m looking for something that can help me create an inventory so that later it’s easier to find things in boxes.
I used a spreadsheet and labeled each box AA, AB, AC… BA, BB, BC… FA, FB, etc. it’s 2 digit codes for each box.
I then took pictures of every box as I’m filling them, and make a list of all contents in the spreadsheet.
In the end we have way too many boxes! Yikes. lol Maybe I should have gotten rid of more stuff.
Could also use homebox and QR codes for specific items in the box
I doubt you need more than a notepad app. It’s what I used the last two times I had to move between countries and it was more than enough for me and customs. I simply wrote down important stuff as I put them in numbered boxes.
Spreadsheet are overkill, a note app is easy to access on your phone at all time and can be easily shared with someone.
Here’s a sample of what I ended up with:
- 15 - camera stands / shoemaking tools / notepads / trophies / guitar cable / weaved basket X2 / cooler bag / curtain rings X 3 /
…
- 25 - Nespresso coffee machine, Italian coffee maker, plates & dishes, kitchen utensils.
- 26 - casserole, dishes, plates, kitchen stuff
- 27 - casserole, cups
- 28 - wedding dress, photos, various cat stuff, photo bag
https://hay-kot.github.io/homebox/ might be worth a look.
Take pictures of the stuff and label the boxes with e.g. “kitchen 1”
