5 Necessary Packing Supplies to Make Your Move Easier:

• 

Your upcoming move isn’t all about boxes. There are other items you’ll need to procure before you start packing.

Here’s a look at some of the packing supplies you’ll need to prepare properly before moving day.

Packing Paper

This blank paper comes in handy when you need to wrap up glasses, plates, and otherdelicate items.

Use it liberally on all your breakables to ensure they have a safe trip.

And if you have space left in a box and you don’t want things to rattle around, simply crumple up some of this paper and wedge it into empty spaces.

Bubble Wrap

We know some of you are addicted to popping this popular wrap when you have down time after your move.

But before your move, this plastic wrap is crucial for any particularly fragile items. Wrap it around anything breakable and double wrap your finest china.

Once your stuff is transported safely, resume popping.

Stretch Wrap

Think of this plastic wrap as industrial-sized plastic wrap.

If you have large items you’d like to protect from the elements, invest in stretch wrap prior to your move. When wrapped tightly around an item, this plastic sheeting will keep dirt, water, and dust away from your furniture, bedding, and other bulky essentials.

Thanks to its stickiness, it’s also great for bundling any odd-shaped items together.

Packing Labels

These labels are crucial to maintaining post-move sanity.

With a labeling system in place while you’re packing up, the unloading and unpackingprocess becomes much easier.

Make sure to use a label or two on each and every box, so you know the contents of your boxes and their eventual resting spot in your new place.

Clipboard

This one is pretty self-explanatory.

But if you think of yourself as the head coach of the move, you won’t want to be caught without one.

Use it to keep all your important move paperwork and checklists together in one place.
