Best Packing Materials that You Already Own

by | Dec 16, 2016 | Features

Having moved a million-bajillion times, there are only so many free newspapers you can swipe to pack your breakables in.

  • Use these to pack the tiny nuts and bolts from your disassembled furniture and shelves, or fill them with air to create puffy cushions that you can use as fillers.
  • Throw your shoes, boots, toys and miscellaneous middle-sized bulky items into the hamper and secure on top with a plastic sheet or pillowcase.
