All You Need To Know About Packaging Materials While Moving

A household move is never complete until you unpack all the items and figure out which of the broken pieces of porcelain go with each other. A successful move means that you dont end up with any damaged items. Most people claim that avoiding such damage is not possible, however with the use of the right packaging materials it is possible to end up with very minimal and almost no damage.

Having the right packaging materials for the right items is essential. Getting the right packaging materials is an easy task provided you know what to look for. Following are a few essential items you will need, to make moving damage free.


Boxes: A lot of them! Make sure that you have a lot boxes with you at hand of various sizes depending on the items that you are going to be moving. Be it photo frames, or vases or even electronic items like LCD TVs. The task of putting the right item in the right box is essential because an item should not be placed loosely in the box. That along with the less insulation put together with a shaky moving team can lead to disastrous results. Boxes when tagged correctly will allow you to track exactly what you have moved.


Bubble Wrap: Bubble wrap to be precise is a great way of keeping all your items secure, scratch and dent free. Always wrap your dinnerware first individually and then once around together, before putting it in a box. Dont forget to label the boxes containing delicate items such as glassware and porcelain with arrows in the direction to be handled along with a label saying handle with care.


Corrogated Ply: Such materials are useful in the case of dinner sets or when a group of items need to be delivered as a set in one large box. It is used for dividing the box into various sections as per the requirement.


Tape & Tape Guns: Tape keeps all your items together and secured so that they dont fall out of the box. And its best to utilize it as much as you can and seal all open ends and flaps of boxes to prevent things from ripping out if too tightly packed. Tape dispensers or guns make the whole process a lot simpler and less messy.


Stretch Films: Using stretch film rolls are a great way to secure items together in a box preventing them from getting rattled and cracking when the box is moved around.
