There are different nuances and personalities involved with every move. Some of the factors that impact how you move and what you will need include the distance between the two locations, the number of items being moved, and the kind of items being transported. For instance, if you’re a resident of Maryville, Tennessee and moving to Knoxville, you’ll find that moving over such a short distance is going to be easy. Especially if you’re using the professional packing services of All My Sons Moving & Storage.
Still, for the DIY’ers out there who aren’t necessarily interested in using the packing services from the pros, here’s a list of packing supplies that will almost always be used in a small move:
- Cardboard Boxes – There are going to be very few occasions when quality, strong cardboard boxes aren’t needed in a move.
- Packaging Tape – Packaging tape will be one of the first items on your packing supplies list before planning your move to Knoxville. Getting your belongings safely secured for transport is a priority and tape will help make that possible.
- Shipping Labels – Think about it…if you were moving to Knoxville, would you not want to know what house you will be moving into? The same concept applies to your moving boxes. Label them so that you know what contents each holds and in which room they are designated to go into.
- Bubble Wrap and Packing Peanuts – We pack items into boxes so that they are both easier to transport and so that they aren’t damaged or broken when we load them. Bubble wrap and packing peanuts act in the same manner. Placing our belongings inside boxes is only one step in protecting valuables. Securing them with bubble wrap or packing peanuts provides an extra layer of protection.
