International Move Checklist – Packing Materials

What you’ll need

Sometimes you might have to go during a specific time of the day as some grocery shops receive shipments only once a week. You’ll need:

• Small boxes;
• Medium boxes;
• Large boxes;
• Heavy duty boxes;
• Wardrobe boxes.

You can make wardrobe boxes yourself by using a tall enough box and adding a metal rail you can find on eBay in different lengths. Additionally, you’ll need:

• Packing tape;
• Bubble wrap;
• Old newspapers;
• Stretch wrap for furniture;
• Marker;
• Labels.

There are whole moving house kits online you can find for a different type of properties. For a one-bedroom flat, a two-bedroom flat and so on. Another option is to purchase the packing service from a packing and moving company. Moving companies have different types of boxes suitable for all sorts of items and they can do all the packing professionally for you.
