Kelli,

    I just did a short move using movers. Being a naturally paranoid
    person, and since we used cheapest bidder type movers, I didn't 
really
    want to advertise 

    the contents of everything in my studio, but, I wanted to be able to
    quickly 

    tell what boxes had which tools in them, etc. Instead of labelling
    the outside of the boxes with the contents, I just wrote a big number
    on the box (on top and on all 4 sides) using a wide tip Sharpie and
    then wrote the contents of the box - IN DETAIL - on a notebook page
    with the same number on it. I found myself taking much better notes
    of the contents of boxes than on any previous move. I had the movers
    stack the boxes along the wall only one row deep so I can see at a
    glance the box numbers (on the sides) and it's easy to prioritize
    how to unpack. 

    Hope that tip helps a bit, best of luck with your long move.
    Permanent relocation or is this temporary change of scenery? 

best,
Kevin
