Essentials for Packing

Moving to a new place is an exciting venture, but if you don’t have the right materials, it can soon become a frustrating one.

Here are the four items you will need if you are going to be packing up your house:

• Boxes
• Packing tape
• Bubble wrap
• Permanent marker

Boxes and Tape

You will need boxes in order to store everything during the move. Make sure you have boxes of all different sizes to accommodate the vast range of items you are planning on moving.

Packing tape is the second essential item for those who are moving. If you buy a packing tape dispenser along with the tape, you will find taping the boxes is a much easier endeavor.

Bubble Wrap or an Equivalent

Whether it’s foam sheets, packing paper, or bubble wrap, you will definitely be needing some sort of material to wrap your fragile items in. Label the appropriate boxes as ‘fragile,’ so movers know to be extra gentle with those.

Permanent Marker

You will definitely be wanting a permanent marker from the get-go. Although it may not seem so important during the packing, once you get to your new place, you will much appreciate having marked each of the boxes. Knowing what is where makes settling in much easier.
