Moving Supplies

Moving can be a stressful experience. The last thing you want to worry about is potential damage to your property. The best way to reduce that risk is to ensure they are packed correctly with the best material

• Small boxes are perfect for delicate or heavy objects which may need to be packed individually to ensure their safety, and to simplify the proces
• Medium-sized boxes are typically the most frequently used. They are the top choice when it comes to small to mid-sized objects and appliances. Used with additional cushioning in particular glass pack and dish pack inserts, these boxes are ideal for packing glassware and dishware.
• Large boxes are the best choice when it comes to packing lightweight and larger items such as art, lamps, soft furnishings and clothing without hangers.
• Extra-large boxes are perfect for bedding, linens, and other large lightweight items such as soft toys
• Reinforced boxes give additional protection to more valuable items you may be transporting. For example, favourite books, expensive electronics and white goods will benefit from this level of protection.
• Wardrobe boxes are designed in varying heights with a bar running across the top so you can avoid folding and wrinkling any clothing you would normally keep hung up.
• Electronics boxes can be helpful when transporting gaming consoles and home entertainment devices such as DVD players and speakers
• Dish pack inserts are best used with mid-sized boxes to insulate all types of dishware, with most packs including additional soft packing to guarantee safe handling during transport.
• Glass pack inserts are designed to provide the best protection for all your glassware, from your everyday tumblers to the finest crystal stemware.

Using the right tools can save time and stress, too!

• Paper is one of the least expensive and most versatile ways to protect all your belongings during transit. Ink free paper is best as ink can rub off on items, causing damage
• Tape dispensers can be extremely handy in the face of what seems like a never-ending stream of boxes. A dispenser will set straight lines of tape, and a quick cut off will help save your fingers (and probably teeth) from the sticky side of packing.
• Marker pens are perhaps the most useful tool in your moving arsenal. They enable you to quickly keep check of items and label boxes with clear instructions and warnings.
• Bubble wrap is essential for a successful move, and not just as a stress reliever! Bubble wrap can be used to protect almost any item, from the smallest knick-knack to a washing machine
• Extra rolls of tape are indispensable. Tape is often the first thing to run out when packing up. To avoid a mad dash to the shop mid-move be sure to stock up on several rolls of good quality packing tape
• Box Cutters will help make unpacking a cinch. Most box cutters come with a thin blade with diagonal lines down one side. As your blade becomes dull, you can use these lines to snap the tip off, providing you with a new edge. Alternatively, keep a few extra blades to hand as they do become dull quite quickly with use
