(704) 799-3382If you’re planning to move into the home of your dreams, the last thing you want is to deal with stacks of unorganized boxes and damaged goods. Even if you’re excited to get to your new place, it’s crucial to take some time to thoroughly organize your items, donate unwanted possessions, and pack the remaining things using the proper packing materials.
When most people think about the moving process, they typically picture an ocean of cardboard boxes. Although packing tape and cardboard boxes will get you a long way in your moving adventure, there are a few other packing materials you should also have on hand:
- Markers
- Colored Tape
- Scissors/Box Cutters
- Stretch Wrap
- Moving Blankets
- Bubble Wrap
- Packing Paper
Labeling your boxes is one way to stay organized, but adding a piece of colored tape to each box can help you quickly identify where to place them in your new house. For example, all boxes that belong in the kitchen could be labeled with red tape, whereas a box with bathroom necessities can feature blue tape. Stretch wrap and moving blankets can protect corners and the edges of your furniture from scratches and chips during the move. Lastly, bubble wrap and packing paper are essential for safely moving dishware, electronics, antiques, and other delicate items.
