Moving house can be an exciting time, however, it’s essential that you spend some time considering which packing materials are required prior to your move. The moving process is one that, if not planned efficiently and with some attention to detail, can result in unwanted damage to your personal possessions. Materials such as cardboard boxes, bubble-wrap, newspapers, and packing tape are relatively inexpensive. Therefore, it’s a good idea to stock up on these items from your local hardware store, such as Bunnings or Mitre 10.

So how do you ensure your materials are up to scratch – to avoid a scratch? Here are some helpful tips for selecting materials and executing the packing process.

1. When purchasing packing materials, make sure to choose both lightweight and heavyweight boxes.

2. Items such as ornaments and other breakables should be packed into smaller boxes and lined with bubble wrap.

3. Cut up some of the cardboard boxes to create inner-dividers and place between small items for extra protection.

4. Make sure your items are packed closely together, as this will minimize room for movement and breakage on the road.

5. Seal each box with strong packing tape, ensuring that the tape covers all sides of the box to prevent collapse.

Borgas Removals and Storage will provide industry-grade packing blankets to ensure that larger furniture, without boxes, remain protected during the move. It’s important that smaller items are packed prior to our arrival, as this will save time and money on the day. These packing measures will ensure that your possessions are protected all the way from A to Z.
