Planning a move? Whether you’re relocating across town or to a new country, being prepared makes all the difference. At Purdie Worldwide, we’ve helped thousands of customers move smoothly — and it all starts with the right packing supplies.
To help you stay organised, here’s your ultimate checklist of essential moving supplies:
Boxes: One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Having a variety of strong, double-walled moving boxes is essential:
Pro Tip: Pack heavier items in smaller boxes to avoid injury and prevent the boxes from breaking. Always tape the bottom securely with two strips of tape in an H-shape.
Protection Materials
Protecting your belongings is just as important as boxing them.
Pro Tip: Wrap fragile items individually and fill any empty box space with scrunched packing paper or bubble wrap to prevent shifting during transit.
Securing & Labelling
Staying organised is key — and labelling your boxes well will save hours on the other side.
Pro Tip: Label every side of the box, not just the top. That way, it’s visible no matter how the box is stacked.
Specialty Items
These clever add-ons can make packing smoother, quicker, and safer:
Pro Tip: Disassemble furniture the night before and keep all screws, bolts, and tools in a clearly labelled bag taped to the item or placed inside a ‘parts’ box.
