What type of packing materials do I need, and how do I choose them?
When it comes to packing for a move, a little planning goes a long way, especially if you are preparing for moving across the country or a PPM military move. Household items come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and you cannot replace precious memories, so be sure to get it right during the planning process!
- Make an inventory of what you will be packing and choose the right materials for the job.
- Once you have decided on the packing materials, make a list of the moving supplies you will need to complete your packing. Common packing materials include boxes, bubble wrap, moving blankets, furniture pads, packing tape, and more.
- If you are unsure, use the 1-800-PACK-RAT space calculator to decide on the right size container and number of moving boxes. Once you know what size container you will need, call us to receive a customized moving quote.
- Pro Tip: Local moving still requires great planning! Don’t skip the pre-planning process just because you are moving across town.
Lowe's Moving Supplies Shipped Directly to You
Now that you have your storage and moving supplies list, you are ready to shop for the right moving supplies and have them shipped directly to you.
Moving Boxes: Resist the urge the beg friends and family for free packing supplies, including used boxes that may be unreliable, damaged, and unsafe. Our sturdy boxes are shipped directly to you and come in a variety of sizes.
You might be asking yourself, what size boxes do I need? One of the keys to a successful, incident-free move is ensuring you have the right size and type of box for its contents.
- Small and Medium Boxes: Small and medium boxes are two of the most popular sizes. Both of these size boxes are the workhorses of most moves, and for good reason. These moving boxes are easy to transfer to your container, easy to stack, and hold the most common household items. Small boxes are perfect for toiletries, books, canned goods, and tools. Medium boxes have handles and are perfect for kitchenware, pots, pans, ornaments, and linens.
- Large or Extra-Large Moving Boxes: Large or extra-large moving boxes are ideal for lightweight items that take up a lot of space and are awkward to move, including speakers, large stuffed animals, bedding, towels, and lampshades. Pro Tip: Don’t overpack!
- Wardrobe Boxes: Our wardrobe boxes include a metal hangar, reducing wear and tear on your clothing and making your clothing more accessible inside your 1-800-PACK-RAT container. Pro Tip: You can reuse the hangar in your new place!
- Kitchen Dish Boxes (and don’t forget the bubble wrap): The last thing you need during a move is broken plates. Our kitchen dish boxes are made for the pros, but available to you! They are extra sturdy and made for heavier items, like bakeware, and ceramic bowls.
- TV Box Kit: Be a packing pro and utilize one of our extra sturdy TV boxes for flat TVs up to 70 inches. If your TV is smaller than that, finish filling the space with packing paper or bubble wrap.
- Frame Boxes and Picture Boxes: Large picture boxes are perfect for any wall art, hanging artwork, and mirrors. The unfolded picture boxes can be used for all different size pictures.
- Pro Tip: You can piece them together using just two portions or use all the pieces to protect the largest of your hanging art.
Lowe's has everything you need and more to ensure your stuff is packed securely for your upcoming move. Check out their moving supplies today!
Packing Materials Used for Moving: In addition to the boxes, a successful move will need packing materials to keep the contents safe from shifting.
- Packing paper takes up less room and is ideal for stacking items, like dishes, glassware, cups and saucers. However, you can also cut out sheets of bubble wrap to put between dishes if that is your preference.
