We are explaining some of them here and how they will help you in making your move effortless.
- Cardboard boxes
You will get cardboard boxes in three different sizes such as small, medium and large. And identifying which object will go in which box will definitely help you in making the move smooth and simple. You can pack heavier objects which are small in size, silverware, and books into small-sized cardboard boxes.
In medium-sized moving boxes, you can store pots, stereo equipment, lampshaded and other such objects. Large moving boxes are ideal for packing pillows, bedding and other lighter objects so that they can be left easily.
- Moving Blankets
You can take moving blankets on rent if you are planning to move on your own. However, if you are booking professionals for moving work then there will be no need to take it on rent as they will bring their own. Moving blankets are effective in relocating fragile items which are large and bulky. They act as padding for furniture and other fragile items.
- Packing Paper
The brown-coloured newsprint used for wrapping dishes, glasses and other delicate objects works amazingly at the time of moving. It can also be used as a filter to prevent items from shifting inside packing boxes. Also, these papers are clean thus there will be no requirement to wash the dishes.
- Bubble Wrap
This is also used for packing items. Fine breakable items get wrapped easily with bubble wrap. You can get them in the form of rolls and in different sizes. At the time of wrapping objects with bubble wrap, you should keep the bubble side inwards. Also, you should wrap dishes on their edges, not flat.
- Stretch Plastic Wrap
This plastic wrap comes in different widths and you can easily wrap dresser drawers. These are useful if you want to pack such items which can open during a move and want to keep them closed. For wrapping couches and chairs you can go with giant-sized rolls.
- Packaging Tape
You will need good quality packing tape so that it remains stuck with the belongings. If you do not buy heavy-duty packing tape then you will find unsealed boxes at your destination. Thus you should invest in good-quality tape so that items remain safe during relocation. If you get a tape dispenser then it will be great as it will save your lots of time and effort.
- Marking Pens
There will be a need to label the boxes for that you will need marking pens. By proper labeling you will be able to know which box contains what object or of which room it is supposed to be. you should not miss labeling “Fragile” in the box in which you will keep precious and fragile items.
- Ziploc Bags
These bags are just for storing small items such as screws, brackets, batteries and other little items. There is much chance that these small items get misplaced or lost during relocation and thus to ensure proper relocation, you should use Ziploc bags.
