- Benefits of Moving Supplies
- There are two main reasons why you should consider reliable moving supplies for your items. Moving supplies allow you to transport your items easily and smoothly without causing any damage. Aside from the easy moving, supplies are your best bet at keeping your items safe. Examples of the most useful moving supplies; mattress cover, blankets, bubble wrap, totes over boxes, and packing tape.
- Creating a Moving Supplies Checklist
- Before you start packing, we recommend writing down a list of supplies on a checklist. It is likely that you have some supplies at home, but you might be missing some essential supplies. Look at the items you have to move and group together the bigger and smaller items together. Think of the items that can be packed together and what supplies are needed to protect those items.
- How Many Boxes or Totes Do I Need?
- The most common and most useful supplies are boxes and totes. Now the most common question is how many boxes do I need? Purchasing the classic cardboard box can get pricey and great for a single move. If you are looking for long-term storage, for items like seasonal clothes or decorations, consider adding totes to your supplies checklist. Additional not all items need to be boxed up, we recommend using bubble wrap or blankets to secure your items in work of a box.
