How to Use Plastic Wrap for Moving

by | Jul 8, 2022 | Features

When packing for a move, plastic wrap (also called shrink, stretch or cling wrap) can be very useful. It is versatile, affordable, durable and easy to use. In addition, it is recyclable. Plastic wrap can be used to secure furniture blankets or bubble wrap that is wrapped around items. It can also be used to protect mattresses and upholstered furniture, or to protect any items from dirt or moisture. Stretch wrap can bundle items together (e.g., mops, silverware or cables). It can also keep furniture drawers closed or rolled-up rugs furled. Placed under the cap of a shampoo or shower gel bottle, shrink wrap can even prevent spills.

Key Takeaways:

  • Stretch wrap is versatile, durable, affordable, easy to use, and recyclable.
  • When tightly wrapped in plastic, items are protected against dirt, dust and moisture.
  • Plastic wrap can be used to secure furniture drawers and doors, or to bundle items together.

“As a person with previous house packing experience, you must know quite well the various packing materials: cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, furniture blankets, and even packing peanuts.”
