Moving is an incredibly exciting prospect. But all the packing and prep work that comes with it? Not so much.
That’s why, to make your life a little easier during the moving process, we’ve put together a handy list of all the packing supplies you’ll need for success. Stock up on all of these items before you start packing, and you’ll be all set up for a smooth, seamless move!
Here’s what you will need:
- Boxes of various sizes
- Small boxes for heavy items
- Large boxes for light items
- Plastic storage bins (only if you plan to reuse them later)
- A few different kinds of tape
- Shipping tape for sealing boxes
- Masking tape for labeling boxes (mark boxes on the side, not the top)
- Duct tape for reinforcing heavy boxes
- Scissors
- Box cutters
- Permanent markers for labeling
- Or, for extra security, you may wish to use color-coded labels, instead. (Writing out exactly what’s inside each box could inadvertently raise the chances of your items being stolen.)
- Protective filler or cushioning of your choice, such as:
- Bubble wrap
- Packing peanuts
- Crumpled newspaper
- Hand towels, pillow cases, and other small linens
- Socks, T-shirts, and other small clothing items
- Large blankets to drape over hard furniture, mirrors, and TVs
