Moving Essentials: A Guide to Choosing the Right Moving Supplies and Packing Supplies

by | Aug 26, 2022 | Features

When moving, selecting the right packing material and moving supplies will make things easier. Begin by figuring out your moving budget, then create an inventory of your belongings. Figure out your packing strategy before ordering supplies. Essential moving supplies include boxes, packing tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, labels and markers, and scissors.  For moving day itself, you’ll need a toiletries bag, first aid kit, chargers, and a few other essentials. To save money, get rid of some belongings, or consider storing them elsewhere. The experts recommend to begin packing early, set up a designated packaging station, and label boxes with destination rooms. It also helps to take pictures of the contents of each box.

Key Takeaways:

  • When getting ready to move and starting packing, it’s important to have a moving budget in mind.
  • You should have a strategy for your packing process and plan your packing supplies accordingly.
  • Start ordering moving supplies six weeks out, and start packing a month before your move.

“Using the right packing material and moving supplies will keep you organized and your belongings safe so your move is streamlined and stress-free.”
