Packing materials and Boxes
Reasons and Guidelines for Purchasing Packaging Materials:
• The measurements of boxes are typically standard and
predictable (Small, Medium, Large, Extra-Large), instead of just
utilizing with whatever sizes are available
• Even though most packaging boxes are generally standard in
sizing and designed for general use, there are different boxes
particularly created for a specific use, such as telescoping
boxes intended for huge mirrors as well as pictures, artwork,
frames, and wardrobe boxes with built-in hanging rods
• Using cardboard boxes practically of the same size and shape
makes stacking relatively simple
• Packaging boxes are often grooved so that the flaps can easily
be bent to convert to a specific measurements
• The total quantity of necessary cardboard boxes can be bought
in one trip, rather than browsing from store to store and
counting on what is readily available
• Durability plus cleanliness are generally proven
• Sturdy, superior quality cardboard boxes offer extra
protection for sophisticated items and won’t collapse as easily
compare to other ordinary boxes
• Moving companies most frequently ought to have good quality,
well-sealed containers and may possibly repack some of them at
an additional fee if they seem to be flimsy or maybe filthy
• Whereas thrown away boxes are usually intended for temporary
use, purchased boxes can be utilized and reused for extended
duration; one way to reuse these cardboard boxes is to fold the
boxes and pile on them on their sides to create shelving in the
storage unit
• When packaging materials are no longer needed, they can be
broken down in neat stacks and donated or given away or recycled
The financial strain associated with purchasing corrugated boxes
can be mitigated with smart and cost effective selections when
it comes to packaging materials and methods. The following are
some measures in order to save some hard earned money as well as
avoid hassles:
Helpful Tips and Hints for Selecting & Using Packing Supplies
• Estimate precisely how much tape you’ll need to be able to
secure and protect both the bottoms and tops of boxes (they may
possibly be turned upside down or perhaps topple during the
move) and possibly purchase twice that quantity of tape (it goes
fast)
• When making a choice on box sizes, remember absolutely not
just merely what they can store, but yet precisely how easy they
will certainly be transported; choose smaller sized boxes
suitable for books as well as with heavy items, and bigger boxes
for linens and clothing
• Avoid making use of newspaper to encapsulate items – the ink
can easily spread and stain; consider using clean, plain
wrapping/butcher paper, quality paper towels or thin foam sheets
for inexpensive items, and felt or bubble wrap for valued
breakables
• Dish pack and also glass pack kits are boxes that come with
pressboard partitions and foam pouches designed for effortless
packing; plastic type materials, fabric-lined dish storage
containers are available at house wares retailers or online
• Sofa covers along with mattress covers can be purchased for
the move; sealed plastic covers definitely should not be left on
for prolonged storage as moisture can promote the growth of mold
and mildew – a canvas tarp or sheet is recommended for a storage
period lasting more than a week
• Fill boxes completely full, but certainly not too full – boxes
having loose contents can potentially wobble and therefore
shift, and in addition to boxes which are generally too full
most likely will crush contents when being transported; use
packing peanuts, clothing or maybe towels to fill in spaces
• Buy rolls of shrink wrap to wrap showcases, furniture, home
appliances, dressers and desks to keep drawers and doors shut;
strip away shrink wrap subsequently after relocation
