Packing all of your things for storage and moving out is not just simply loading up boxes, so you can finish early. Of course, you want your belongings to be carefully handled, that’s why you opt to have them safely packed. To ensure that, we have listed down the packing supplies you need to help you organize all your belongings the best way possible.
1. Permanent Marker (For Labeling)
One of the basic things that you should never forget in storing your things, especially if it is for a move out, is to label each box according to their contents. This is why you need a permanent marker with you as you pack all of your belongings because they will serve as your labeling tools, so that you will not forget which boxes contain such specific items.
A simple black permanent marker will do in labeling. Make sure that the ink is bold enough to be seen, so that you can easily determine the labels.
2. Bubble Wrap
You can never go wrong with bubble wrap. Instead of using old newspapers to wrap your items, especially the fragile ones, you should use bubble wrap as they do not blot ink and give-off a strong smell that tends to stick on your things in the long run while in storage. They are good to use for items that have intricate shapes, as they can easily be folded to follow the shape of the object.
3. Durable Packing Tape
Make sure to get a packing tape that is durable and will properly hold. Do not settle for packing tapes that do not stick that much. Look for a durable packing tape because this will ensure that your boxes are tightly sealed and protected. You can also try using a packing tape dispenser, so you don’t have to manually hold and cut the tape every time you need it.
4. Fragile Tape
You may not often use or even opt to use a fragile tape in packing your things for storage and moving out, but this is a good step if you really want to make sure that your fragile items are well packed. Fragile tapes usually stand out because of the text written on it and the color itself, that’s why it will be easy for people to notice if a specific box contains breakable items.
5. Moving Boxes
Last on the list, but definitely essential to every packing process. There are different sizes available for every moving box, depending on your need for storage space. A tip in buying moving boxes: go for the sturdy ones! Do not settle for less expensive ones thinking that you can save more if you do that. You will be surprised as to how much more you will be able to save if you decide to go for quality moving boxes. These ones are made of quality materials that’s suitable to hold the weight of the belongings you put inside without the bottom part falling out.
But take note that even as they are quality moving boxes, you should not try to fill them up too much because you also have to see to it that you are still able to carry them.
