Moving Bags & Covers

Mattress covers are available in single, queen, and king sizes and preserve your mattress in top condition throughout its time in storage.
• Moving Blanket: You can also purchase protective covers, such as moving blankets, to safeguard your cherished possessions from any harm during storage and transportation.

Packaging 

• Bubble Wrap Protection: Bubble wrap is a lifesaver if you’re storing or transporting fragile and valuable items. Like moving blankets, bubble wrap shields your belongings from dings and scratches. The air bubbles within the wrap provide a cushioning effect that prevents breakage in case of accidental impacts. Safeguard your delicate chinaware, glassware, and other fragile items with reliable bubble wrap protection.
• Packing Paper: Fill the Gaps: Don’t let empty space in your boxes lead to potential damage during the move. Packing paper comes to the rescue by effectively filling those gaps. Use it to wrap fragile items, line the insides of cups, or cushion the space between goods. By reducing movement within the boxes, packing paper keeps your items securely in place, providing peace of mind during transportation and storage.
• Padlock Security: Ensuring the safety and protection of your belongings is crucial for storage. Padlocks are an essential packing supply that guarantees the security of your storage space. With options like standard key-locked padlocks and combination locks, you can choose the level of security that suits your needs. Rest easy knowing your items are securely locked away.

Tapes & Accessories

• Fragile Labelling Tape: The safety of your fragile items is a top concern when moving. Fragile labelling tape comes to the rescue by allowing you to accurately mark and identify the belongings that require extra care during the moving process.
• Tape Dispenser: A tape dispenser is a must-have tool for seamlessly labelling your packing supplies. Using a tape gun ensures quick and efficient taping of your boxes, ensuring they are sturdy and securely closed.
• Essential Cutting Tool: A packing knife becomes indispensable when it’s time to unpack and unbox your belongings during a move. Carefully cutting open boxes with a packing knife ensures that your items remain undamaged during unpacking.
