Packing for moving house has always been an overwhelming task. I wonder if anyone likes it! It takes a lot of time to plan and then pack all the stuff. To make moving less stress free, it is important that you first buy the packaging materials you will need to pack all your rooms and kitchen. From double wall boxes to wardrobe boxes, there are many varieties of affordable moving boxes that can make your move hassle free.
Double Wall Boxes
Double wall boxes are the best cardboard boxes for moving. Corrugated large letter boxes are extremely durable. Most of your household items can be packed in these boxes easily. They are cost effective and can be recycled as well.
The double wall corrugated boxes are constructed of two corrugated layers with a liner sheet of Kraft paper between them. This makes them strong and are great for packing heavier items. They are easy to handle during the move without the risk of any damage. Once you have reached your new house, you can use them as cheap storage boxes.
The double wall cardboard box is an environmentally friendly packaging material making it the most preferred choice of people.
Single Wall Cardboard Boxes
Single wall cardboard boxes are ideal for lightweight items as they are constructed of a single wall corrugated layer. They are good for moving but are not as robust as the double wall boxes. So, be careful and make sure to not overload these boxes.
Globe Packaging is the leading supplier of packaging materials in the UK. They stock high quality materials such as single and double wall large letter boxes, parcel boxes, void fill, furniture guards, tapes, moving boxes and more.
Single wall cardboard box is a sustainable packaging material so it is a nature friendly option.
Wardrobe Boxes
The wardrobe boxes are becoming popular as they make the most stressful work of packing clothes so hassle free. A wardrobe box is a tall cardboard box that comes with a rod so that you just have to take your clothes from your wardrobe and hang them straight in the wardrobe box. It saves time to pack and unpack clothes if you use wardrobe boxes.
Wardrobe cardboard box is an environmentally friendly packaging material. One can reuse them as a temporary wardrobe or make a toy house.
Bubble Wrap
Bubble wrap rolls will come in handy when packing for moving house. Wrap it around fragile items, like kitchen crockery, lamp shades or any glass items. Bubble wrap has air pockets that offer cushioning to the items, it is wrapped around. It absorbs shocks and impacts during transit, protecting the items from getting broken into pieces.
Paper bubble wrap rolls are also available these days if you are looking for an environmentally friendly option.
Void Fill
Once you fill the boxes, you will need void fill to pack empty spaces in the cardboard corrugated boxes so that your items do not move in transit and get damaged. You can use newspaper offcuts as well to fill void spaces. Even brown paper, also known as the Kraft paper can be used for this purpose.
High Quality Packing Tape
To secure your corrugated boxes from opening up while loading and unloading, you must use high quality packing tape. Trust me normal tapes will not be able to do the job perfectly so use only premium quality packaging tape, special craft paper tape or heavy duty duct tape. This will save splits and breakages in your moving boxes.
Quality Labels
Yes, you will need good quality labels as well. Labelling each box will make your move hassle free, especially unpacking. You need to label what’s inside each box, whether it’s delicate kitchen crockery or your coveted books. The box that carries fragile items must mention the same on the label. In fact, tapes with ‘Fragile’ printed on them should be used.
