Cartons: Cartons and boxes come in many different sizes so it is important to choose the right size for what may be going inside. Smaller boxes should be used when packing heavy items like books to keep their weight manageable during transport. Larger boxes should be filled with lighter items like linens, stuffed animals or towels.

Packing Paper: Plain white packing paper is preferred for wrapping and insulating belongings over newsprint which can rub off and stain items.

Bubble wrap: For particularly fragile and valuable items, a moving company should supply bubble wrap to provide extra protection during the packing process. Bubble wrap gives extra assurance that precious items arrive unharmed at their final destination.

Shrink wrap: Shrink wrap is a great way to keep pieces of items together and secure as well as to keep boxes joined during the moving process. Additionally, shrink wrap will protect upholstered items from finger prints, but should never be used on leather as it will trap in moisture from the material and can cause mold or mildew.

Closet/wardrobe box: These tall boxes with a bar at the top are ideal for moving clothing. Many people often keep these boxes post-relocation to store clothing.
