Packing and packaging is one of the most important preparation steps in moving and storage, with a direct impact on the safety of your belongings. Fragile items, electronic devices, large appliances, furniture, clothing, archive boxes and delicate products should not all be packed the same way. Without the right packaging materials, items can get scratched, broken, crushed, damp or mixed up during transport.
This page explains which packing methods work for different types of items, and when materials such as wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, stretch film, kraft paper, cardboard boxes, moving blankets and labels are most useful. Packing is not just wrapping an item; it is getting it ready to be moved and stored. Filling boxes properly, putting heavy items in small boxes and marking fragile items separately all make the process easier.
