AVON, Ohio, April 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Are you like most Americans who take an average of 182 days to finally unpack the last box after moving into a new home?* Or, are you one of the 67 percent of Americans who have difficulty finding items in storage* – often digging through dusty boxes to find what you need? Luckily, the new Duck Pack & Track^™ app-based labeling system is the "smart" solution for packing, unpacking, storing and finding things.

The new Duck Pack & Track™ app-based labeling system is the “smart” solution for packing, unpacking, storing and finding things.

Moving is a busy and tense time. You have a lot to remember already, so keeping track of your items through an app can be a huge relief. At last, the painstaking process of moving and storage is entering the 21^st century, creating a new era of stress-free organization. Duck^® brand's new moving and storage labels and scanning technology will make the whole process easier: simply use your smartphone to keep track of your box's contents.

Where's your favorite red sweater? Or your coffee maker for early morning unpacking? Unlike the traditional, tedious and often illegible marker-to-box methods, the new Duck Pack & Track^™ digital system helps you quickly locate items you've packed to move or that may be hidden in storage (like holiday decorations).

"At Duck, in addition to caring about the packing and moving process, we also care about the storage and unpacking process, which are points of aggravation for many, especially when they're already dealing with the emotions of a new move," said Mary Kate Hearns, category manager, ShurTech Brands, LLC. "In fact, we discovered 78 percent of people find it very or sometimes frustrating to find items in household storage.* We hope this innovative, smart solution is one way to help alleviate stress every step of the way."

How does it work? Once you've purchased your labels, the next step is to download the Duck Pack & Track^™ app (available for Apple or Android.) Then, simply place a Duck Pack & Track^™ label on a box, plastic bin or other smooth-surface container; scan the unique barcode; name the box and log its contents (and location). Logging contents is easy – either type the items manually or use the voice command to speak into the app. Voila!

Then, once you're ready to find something stored away, simply speak or type the item needed into the app, and the box name and location will be provided – no more digging through tons of boxes! For added convenience, you can even take and save photos of items you place in each container.

The Duck Pack & Track^™ system comes with 40 labels (3" x 4") and will be available at Walmart for $14.99.
