Moving and Packing Tips

Consider the sizes of the items you’re packing and select boxes and moving supplies accordingly. When in doubt, do not overpack boxes as they’re cumbersome to transport and could damage personal belongings. Purchase moving boxes in varying sizes, small, medium, and large to avoid this issue. 

• Large boxes are good for light to medium-weight items. Large boxes hold bulky but lightweight items like blankets, clothing, or pillows.
• Small boxes are needed for fragile or heavy items or things you’d like separated. Use our small heavy-duty boxes reinforced with stronger walls for moving books glassware, and dishes.
• Medium Boxes  Good for most household items. Perfect stacking box for long and short-term storage.
• Wardrobe boxes Some moving boxes are specialized, our heavy-duty double-wall comes with a steel bar to easily transfer clothing on hangers from closet to box.
• Frame boxes are great for moving pictures and mirrors that need extra protection. 
• File boxes are used to easily transfer files from file cabinet to box.   

• Packing Tape -  Standard high-quality packing tape is essential for sealing moving boxes, especially when used for long-distance moving or storage.
• Furniture Wrap -  Furniture wrap safeguards doors and drawers on cabinets and other furniture. Better yet, it sticks to itself, resulting in zero ruminating sticky residues
• Packing Paper -  There’s a common misconception that newspapers can replace packing paper. But, printed newsprint can stain your prized possessions with ink.
• Bubble Wrap -  Bubble wrap cushions the bottom of boxes and wraps fragile items. Purchase a large roll or two, you’ll need the moving supplies. Smaller sheets can be cut from a larger roll.
• Mattress Covers -  Mattresses will remain clean and protected while transported to their new destination. 
• Tape dispenser -  Make packing and sealing your boxes easier with a new tape dispenser. The sturdy tape dispenser will hold a standard core of 2" tape and comes fully assembled.
