When I moved, I made sure to label EVERY side of EVERY box. It made it really easy to know what room the box belonged in.

I also gave each box a number and wrote it on every side. Then I had an index card with that number on it. The index card also had a list of what was in the box. Not necessarily a specific list, might have said
KITCHEN #3 Pots & pans.

I also have a packing tip. We used our sheets and towels to wrap around breakable items like lamps. This way the items were cushioned and we didn't need separate boxes for sheets, towels & blankets.
