What Supplies Do I Need for Moving?

Tips From Our Expert Movers

Moving can be an overwhelming process, and one of the most challenging aspects of it is figuring out what supplies you need to have on hand. Whether you're moving to a new home or relocating your office, having the right supplies is crucial to ensuring that everything goes smoothly. Here are some tips from our movers for some essential supplies that you'll need for your move.

Boxes:

Boxes are essential for any move, and you'll need plenty of them. You can purchase boxes from a moving company or online, or you can get them for free from local businesses or friends. Movers typically recommend using sturdy cardboard boxes, as they're more durable and can hold more weight.

Packing Tape:

You'll need plenty of packing tape to seal your boxes and secure your items. Look for heavy-duty packing tape that's at least two inches wide. You may also want to invest in a tape dispenser to make the process easier.

Bubble Wrap:

Bubble wrap is great for protecting fragile items during the move. You can wrap delicate items like dishes, glasses, and picture frames in bubble wrap to prevent them from breaking. Bubble wrap is also great for padding the inside of boxes to prevent items from shifting during transport.

Packing Paper:

Packing paper is a versatile packing material that can be used to wrap fragile items, fill empty spaces in boxes, and protect surfaces from scratches. You can purchase packing paper from a moving company or online, or you can use newspaper or old magazines as a cost-effective alternative.

Furniture Pads:

Furniture pads are essential for protecting your furniture during the move. These padded blankets can be wrapped around tables, chairs, and other furniture to prevent scratches and dents. You can rent furniture pads from a moving company or purchase them online.

Markers:

Markers are an essential tool for labeling your boxes. You can use them to write the contents of each box and the room it belongs in. This will make it easier for your movers to know where to place your items in your new home or office.
