Calculate exactly how many boxes, tape, and packing materials you need for your move. Avoid last-minute store runs and save money by buying the right amount upfront.
Small boxes are perfect for heavy items like books. Large boxes work best for lightweight, bulky items like linens and pillows.
Always pack fragile items with bubble wrap or packing paper. Use extra tape for heavy boxes to prevent breakage during transport.
Buy supplies in bulk for better prices. Many movers offer supply packages that can save you 20-30% compared to buying individually.
Consider buying used boxes from local stores or online marketplaces. Many people sell barely-used moving boxes after their move at a fraction of the cost.
