Packing Supplies

Making a list of packing supplies can boggle anyone’s mind with the details that are required to pack effectively. However, different Web sites make it easier for people by displaying the various packing supplies and accessories that are a “must have” for packing and moving.

Packing supplies primarily contain:

• Boxes

• Space Bags

• Tapes

• Adhesives

• Labels

• Cushioning

The most common items in the packing supplies category are packing boxes, silica gel packs, paper rolls, bubble wrap, padded envelopes and polythene bags. Most of these items can be seen in any office building or warehouse space. In addition to these core packing supplies, there are various accessories that one needs to buy to ensure the safe arrival of their shipments.

PACKING SUPPLIES ACCESSORIES

Though packing can be done with a pair of scissors instead of a box cutter and a permanent marker instead of labels, some accessories make packing easier and more convenient. These accessories include:

• Tape dispenser: It enables one to use tape quickly and conveniently.

• Packing padding, protection and cushioning:

  • Brown paper or plain paper: Being neutral in color, it does not leave any impression on sensitive surfaces.

  • Foam: Provides extra protection and can be broken or compressed to fill in the vacant space for shock absorption.

  • Stretchable or flexible wraps: Useful for protecting long or awkward shaped items like skis.

  • Inflatable wraps: Can be filled to void the vacant spaces.

• Labels:

  • Custom printed: Available with indictors of ‘Fragile’ or ‘This End Up’ markers.

  • Pre-printed: Pre-printed labels for use with general terms.

  • Blank: Can be printed at any time from your computer and pertinent information can be written on them.

• Miscellaneous:

  • Box cutter: Helps in slicing open boxes or tough materials.

  • Mattress covers: With extra foam padding, will protect your mattress from punctures and rips.

  • Markers: Come in handy to correctly apply labels to your packing and/or moving boxes.
