Essential
Start with suitable boxes, strong packing tape, a marker and labels. These are the minimum materials for closing, identifying and routing packed items.
Useful protection
Paper, bubble wrap, corner protectors and furniture blankets can reduce movement and surface damage. Match protection to fragility rather than wrapping every item the same way.
Optional convenience
Tape dispensers, colour labels and stretch wrap can speed a large move, but they do not replace sound packing and careful lifting.
Practical checklist
- Test tape adhesion before packing the full move.
- Avoid placing adhesive directly on finished furniture.
