Philadelphia Family Home Move Packing Materials: How To Choose Moving Boxes

by PRC Agency PR

Although you may be tempted to shove everything bar the kitchen sink into any box you can find, Movers.com strongly advises you not to take this approach! But it’s only going to come straight back out again on the other side right? Hmm... it will probably get to the other side, albeit not in one piece. The last thing you need is to be cleaning up smashed glassware and forking out thousands of dollars on a new television when moving into your new home.

Take the safe approach! Make sure all your items reach their new destination securely with the latest advice from Movers.com.

Movers.com has an extensive library of moving resources, offering advice on everything from packing and truck rental to recycling and home cleaning supplies. Check out their newest guide - 'How Different Types of Packing Materials Help You Move' - to ensure your moving process runs as smoothly as possible.

“There are several materials that you need to keep your goods safe and secure during the moving process,” says Movers.com. “It is important to be familiar with these items and to make sure that you have enough of these materials for your move.”

What packing boxes should I use?

The guide begins with a detailed overview of the different types of packing boxes available, explaining which are the most appropriate for certain types of household goods. For instance, kitchen boxes are cellular in design making them the best choice for holding fragile items such as your glassware, china and silverware. The guide recommends using item-specific boxes such as wardrobe, picture, and lamp boxes to keep goods as secure as possible during the moving process.

What about other protective materials?

However, it doesn't stop there! Boxes alone will not be enough to protect your household items from getting damaged, explains the report. You should also invest in protective materials, such as newspaper, bubble wrap and stretch wrap, to make sure your items are protected in transit. Bubble wrap can be used on furniture and other large items to prevent scratches and dents while plastic stretch wrap can be used to add a waterproof layer to any boxes containing electrical items. That OLED flat-screen TV cost you three months' wages; this is not the time to be reckless!

Once all items have been packaged securely, Movers.com recommends labeling your boxes clearly using packing labels and permanent markers. Don't forget to reinforce the bottom of your boxes with packing tape so that it doesn't accidentally open up when lifted.
