Moving into a new home can be an exciting adventure full of possibilities and new beginnings. Before you get there, though, you've got to tackle the job of packing up your old home. Ace Hardware carries all the moving and shipping supplies you need to make this task a little easier. From boxes to packing materials and tape to moving blankets, you'll find top-rated products to help get the job done right.
Packing Boxes for Objects Big and Small
Whether you're packing up a single room or an entire family home, odds are good you've got a lot of possessions to take with you. Pick up moving boxes in a wide variety of sizes to accommodate all of the items in your home.
Consider these helpful tips to get you going:
- Small Boxes: Heavier belongings like books, dishes and electronic equipment should be packed in small boxes to prevent the boxes from becoming too heavy to manage.
- Medium Boxes: Great for pots and pans, home décor and other things of a similar weight, medium sized boxes offer great versatility when moving.
- Larger boxes: Bigger boxes are ideal for clothing, bedding, pillows and other lightweight items.
And remember, always be careful not to overpack any one box, as it may become too heavy to move, resulting in damaged goods or a potentially painful injury.
Packing Wrap for Fragile Belongings
One of the most challenging aspects of packing is ensuring your items don’t break. Ace carries the products you need to add a layer of protection to those breakable objects.
- Packing bubble wrap is a staple of any move and can be used on virtually any item to prevent chipping, cracks, scratches and scuffs.
- Packing paper is ideal for wrapping your dishes, glassware and figurines and filling in gaps within boxes to prevent items from shifting during a move.
- If you find yourself running low on supplies at the last minute, utilize dish towels, bath towels and even blankets to protect your most delicate belongings.
No matter how you wrap these items, be sure you have plenty of packing tape and packing wrap on hand to help ensure a secure move.
Special Supplies for Your Biggest Items
Large items also present unique challenges while moving. Furniture, mattresses, TVs and other big pieces need protection but don't exactly fit into a typical packing box. Fortunately, you'll find specialty supplies at Ace Hardware to safeguard your biggest belongings.
A moving blanket is an essential tool to prevent your furniture from getting scuffed and scratched on the moving truck while mattress covers ensure your mattresses arrive at your new home in pristine condition. Pick up a roll or two of stretch wrap to bundle items and keep drawers and cabinets closed during transit. Stretch wrap is also a great tool for wrapping around your moving blankets to keep them secured around your furniture.
