Packing And Boxes Elephant And Castle se1

What is the Packing Process?

To understand the packing process, we need to first look at what it really entails. Many will assume that the job simply requires lots of cardboard boxes and bubble wrap, but when you consider that the majority of your possessions often have a variety of shapes and sizes, you can see why a more tailored approach is often needed when it comes to moving house. The items that you own must be wrapped in blankets, so as to ensure their protection during transit, as well as being placed into specially tailored boxes for each item.

Where Do I Get Cardboard Boxes from?

There are several options available to you when it comes to sourcing cardboard boxes. You may find that local stores in your area sell them, however the best solution is usually to buy them online. When you are buying your boxes online, make sure that you find retailers that not only provide you with a range of boxes to choose from, but they should also operate with a free delivery service as standard. Here at Elephant and Castle Man and Van, we stock an extensive range of removal boxes specifically designed for whatever items you may have.

How Do I Choose the Right Size Box?

Choosing the right size box for your belongings is key when it comes to packing them away safely for transportation. It is best practice when packing boxes, to find something a little bigger than the item itself and then carefully place some packing materials inside before wrapping up the object and adding more cardboard around it if needed. For example, if you have a television that measures 50cm x 40cm, then a box measuring approximately 55cm x 45cm should do nicely.

Which Other Supplies May I Need?

When packing up your belongings for removal, there are various supplies that may come in handy in terms of making sure everything stays safe and secure during transit. Aside from protective materials such as bubble wrap and wrapping paper, which can be used to coat furniture and electronic items respectively, specialty products like cling film can also come in handy for covering mattresses and other large objects, helping to keep them protected from dust and other airborne particles along their journey. At Elephant and Castle Man and Van, we stock all these products at prices that won't break the bank.
