Essential Moving Supplies

Organizing for a move can be overwhelming. Not to mention all the packing and sorting you have to do. To help you make your work easy, here's a quick rundown of all the packing supplies you need:
  • Tools for disassembling furniture.
  • Boxes they can be purchased from your moving company. Get a wardrobe box for your clothing. To calculate the number of boxes you need measure the number of linear feet. Get special crating if necessary.
  • Box cutters so you can quickly open the box
  • Bubble wraps, packing peanuts, and loose fills for padding. Buy in bulk or large rolls.
  • Large trash bags for disposing items you don't need or can no longer be donated or placed in a garage sale. 
  • Packing paper to stuff boxes and wrap delicate items
  • Scissors
  • Small sealable plastic bags to keep screws, brackets, and any other loose parts or small items
  • Stretch wrap to secure furniture drawers and cabinets
  • Packing tape and tape dispenser
  • Permanent markers for labeling boxes

  1. Thank you for the tips. My husband just accepted a job offer in another state and we don't have a lot of time to get all of our stuff packed up. I was starting to feel a little overwhelmed, so I decided to do some research on moving. I think getting all of these moving supplies will help me feel less stressed.
