Frequently Asked Questions
What packing materials do I need for moving or storage?
For most moves or storage needs, it’s best to have a mix of strong cardboard boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, and markers for labelling. Small boxes work well for heavy items like books, while larger boxes are ideal for bedding, kitchenware, or bulky but light items. Bubble wrap or packing paper helps cushion fragile objects, and stretch wrap can be used to keep drawers and furniture parts secure. Labels or permanent markers make it easier to identify contents later. Specialty supplies like wardrobe boxes or mattress covers may also be useful depending on what you’re storing.
How do I choose the right size boxes for packing?
Choosing the right box size depends on what you're packing and how it will be stored or moved. Small boxes (around 30–40L) are great for heavy items like books, tools, or canned goods. Medium boxes (40–60L) are versatile for household items, linens, or kitchen supplies. Large boxes (60L+) are best for light, bulky items like pillows or clothing. Using the wrong size can lead to damage—boxes that are too big can collapse under weight, and overpacked small boxes may tear. Mixing sizes allows for safer stacking and better space use in a storage unit.
What’s the best way to pack fragile items?
The safest way to pack fragile items is to wrap each one individually using bubble wrap or packing paper. Start by cushioning the bottom of the box with padding material like scrunched paper or foam. Place heavier items at the bottom and lighter, more delicate ones on top. Avoid overfilling the box, and use dividers for items like glassware. Fill in all gaps to prevent shifting during transport or storage. Clearly label the box as “fragile” on all sides and avoid stacking heavy boxes on top of it.
