Packing Supplies for Moving and Self Storage
Moving home can be stressful, but your packing supplies don’t have to be. Whether it’s packing tape to securely seal cardboard boxes, fragile tape to help protect delicate items, or practical tools such as a packing knife, tape gun and permanent marker pen, our packing supplies help you stay organised when moving or preparing items for self storage units.
Protective loose fill provides cushioning for more delicate belongings, helping reduce the risk of damage while items are in storage units or in transit. We are also moving towards more environmentally responsible options, including eco tapes and recycled polystyrene used within our packing loose fill, helping you make more considered choices when preparing for self storage.
Frequently asked questions
Most moves require a combination of strong cardboard boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap and protective covers for furniture or mattresses. Using good quality packing supplies helps keep belongings secure during transport and makes it easier to organise items once in self storage units.
The amount depends on how many boxes you’re packing, their size and how much reinforcement they need. Our packing tape comes in 45-metre rolls. To estimate your needs, measure the tape used to seal one representative box, multiply by your box count and allow extra for securing wrapping and reinforcing seams.
Wrap each item individually using packing tissue and bubble wrap, then place it in a sturdy box with cushioning underneath and around it. Fill gaps so belongings cannot move around or knock together. Seal the box, label it clearly as fragile and avoid stacking heavy boxes on top. Our packing supplies include bubble wrap, tissue and loose fill.
A tape gun isn’t essential, but it can make packing quicker and easier when you have lots of boxes to seal. It applies and cuts the tape without needing separate scissors. Our tape gun takes 50mm-wide tape and can also be used to secure bubble wrap around your belongings.
Packing loose fill consists of lightweight chips that fill empty spaces around items inside a box. They help cushion belongings against knocks and reduce movement during handling and transport. Our packing loose fill contains recycled polystyrene chips and can be kept for future use. Use it alongside individual wrapping for delicate items.
