What Moving Supplies Do I Need?

Before buying your packing materials, walk through your home room by room and consider what actually needs to be packed.

For example:

• Books require strong, manageable cartons.
• Kitchenware needs boxes and suitable protective wrapping.
• Hanging clothes can be easier to move in wardrobe boxes.
• Televisions may require dedicated TV cartons.
• Mattresses benefit from protective covers.
• Fragile ornaments may require bubble wrap or packing paper.
• Pictures and mirrors may require additional protection.

Planning your supplies early reduces the chance of running out of materials immediately before moving day.

Moving Boxes in Dublin

Moving cartons form the basis of most household packing, but different box sizes work better for different belongings.

Get Cracking supplies moving boxes and packing supplies in Dublin, with products also available to purchase through TopBox.ie.

Medium Moving Boxes

Medium cartons are useful for many everyday household belongings.

They can be suitable for:

• Books
• Crockery
• Kitchenware
• Small appliances
• Office contents
• Decorative items
• Smaller household belongings

Medium cartons are particularly useful for heavier belongings because they remain easier to handle than a very large box filled with dense items.

Large Moving Boxes

Large cartons generally work better for lightweight but bulky belongings.

Typical examples include:

• Bed linen
• Towels
• Pillows
• Folded clothes
• Soft furnishings
• Children’s toys

Avoid filling a large carton completely with books or crockery because it can quickly become very heavy.

A useful rule is to use smaller or medium cartons for heavier belongings and larger cartons for lightweight bulky items.

Wardrobe Boxes for Hanging Clothes

Wardrobe boxes make packing suits, dresses, coats and other hanging clothes much easier.

Instead of removing everything from hangers and folding it into standard cartons, suitable garments can be transferred directly into the wardrobe box.

They are particularly useful for:

• Suits
• Dresses
• Coats
• Jackets
• Shirts
• Other hanging garments

Check TopBox.ie for current wardrobe-box and moving-carton options.

Bubble Wrap for Fragile Items

Bubble wrap can be useful for protecting suitable fragile and delicate belongings.

It may be used for:

• Glassware
• Ornaments
• Pictures
• Decorative items
• Selected electronics
• Other breakable household belongings

Bubble wrap is only one part of good packing. Strong cartons, packing paper and appropriate cushioning are also important.

Packing Paper

Packing paper is particularly useful for kitchens and other areas containing fragile household contents.

It can be useful for:

• Plates
• Bowls
• Mugs
• Glasses
• Kitchenware
• Decorative household items

Avoid leaving large empty spaces inside cartons where fragile contents can move during handling and transport.

Packing Tape and Fragile Tape

Moving boxes should be securely closed before they are carried or loaded into a removal vehicle.

Suitable packing tape helps secure the top and base of cartons.

Fragile tape or clear labelling can also help identify boxes requiring additional care.

Remember that writing FRAGILE on a box does not replace good packing inside the carton.

TV Boxes

Modern televisions can be difficult to move because the screens are large, thin and relatively fragile.

A suitable TV carton can provide more appropriate protection than an ordinary household moving box.

Before packing a television:

• Disconnect cables.
• Remove loose accessories.
• Keep the remote control safely.
• Keep stand components and screws together.
• Protect the screen appropriately.

Check the current Get Cracking Packing Supplies range for available options.

Mattress Protection

Mattresses can easily collect dust or marks while being carried through hallways, doorways and staircases.

A suitable mattress bag or protective covering provides another layer of protection during handling and transportation.

Mattress protection can also be useful when a mattress is being placed into storage.

Moving Supplies for Kitchen Packing

The kitchen is often one of the most time-consuming rooms to pack.

You may need:

• Medium moving cartons
• Packing paper
• Bubble wrap
• Packing tape
• Fragile labels

Pack heavier suitable belongings toward the bottom of the carton and lighter items above.

If you would prefer professionals to prepare some or all of your belongings, Get Cracking also provides professional packing services.

Moving Supplies for Books

Books are straightforward to pack but can make a carton surprisingly heavy.

Avoid using one very large box for an entire bookshelf.

Instead, divide books between several smaller or medium cartons so each box remains manageable.

Moving Supplies for Bedrooms

Bedroom packing may require several different types of supplies.

You might need:

• Large boxes for folded clothes
• Wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes
• Mattress protection
• Medium cartons for books and personal belongings
• Bubble wrap for fragile decorative items

Keep passports, medication, keys, jewellery and important documents with you rather than placing them into general moving cartons.

Moving Supplies for Apartment Moves in Dublin

Apartment removals can make good packing particularly important.

Boxes may need to travel through:

• Long corridors
• Stairs
• Lifts
• Underground car parks
• Shared entrances
• Restricted loading areas

Strong, properly closed cartons are easier to handle than damaged or overloaded boxes.

If you are moving apartment, read our Apartment Movers Dublin guide.

Moving Supplies for House Removals

When packing an entire house, it is easy to underestimate how many belongings you own.

Remember areas such as:

• Attics
• Sheds
• Garages
• Utility rooms
• Spare bedrooms
• Home offices
• Under-stair cupboards

These areas can require considerably more boxes than expected.

If you also require professional moving services, visit Get Cracking Dublin Removals.

Moving Supplies for Office Relocations

Moving boxes and packing materials are also important for office and commercial moves.

Office packing may include:

• Files
• Documents
• Desk contents
• Books
• Marketing materials
• Small office equipment
• Kitchen contents

Clearly label boxes with the relevant room, department or destination.

For business moves, visit Get Cracking Office Relocations.

Moving Supplies for Storage

If belongings are going into storage, use strong cartons that can be securely closed and clearly labelled.

Useful labels might include:

• KITCHEN
• BOOKS
• BEDROOM 1
• WINTER CLOTHES
• DOCUMENTS

Good labelling makes it easier to identify what you need later without opening every box.

If your move requires temporary or longer-term storage, see Get Cracking Storage Services.

Moving Supplies for International Relocations

International household shipments may require additional preparation because belongings can pass through several stages of handling and transport.

Depending on the destination and type of move, this can involve:

• Export packing
• Inventory preparation
• Specialist protection
• Custom crating
• Road transport
• Sea freight
• Air freight
• Customs documentation
• Destination delivery

If you are moving overseas, discuss your packing requirements before preparing the entire shipment yourself.

Learn more about Get Cracking Worldwide Relocations.

Custom Crating for Fragile Items

Some belongings need more protection than an ordinary moving carton can provide.

Custom crating may be appropriate for selected:

• Artwork
• Mirrors
• Antiques
• Fragile decorative items
• Unusually shaped belongings
• Specialist equipment

Read more about Get Cracking Custom Crating.

How to Label Moving Boxes

Good labelling can save considerable time when you arrive at your new home.

Each carton should ideally show:

• The destination room
• A brief description of the contents
• Whether the contents are fragile, where appropriate

For example:

KITCHEN – GLASSWARE – FRAGILE

or

BEDROOM 2 – CLOTHES

This helps both you and your moving crew place cartons in the correct rooms.

Do Not Overload Moving Boxes

A moving carton should remain reasonably manageable for one person to carry.

If a box becomes excessively heavy, divide the contents between two cartons.

Avoid filling very large boxes completely with books, crockery or other heavy belongings.

Can I Use Old Cardboard Boxes?

Previously used cartons can sometimes be suitable if they remain clean, dry and strong.

Before reusing a carton, check that:

• The base is secure.
• The cardboard is dry.
• The sides are not badly crushed.
• There are no major tears.
• The box closes properly.

A weak carton can fail while being carried or stacked.

Can I Pack My Own Belongings?

Yes. Many customers choose to pack some or all of their belongings themselves.

Goods packed by the customer are often referred to in the removals industry as Packed by Owner (PBO).

If you pack yourself:

• Use strong cartons.
• Use suitable protective materials.
• Do not overload boxes.
• Close cartons securely.
• Label everything clearly.

If you arrange insurance separately for your move, check the applicable policy conditions because some policies may contain different terms for owner-packed goods.

Get Cracking Limited does not insure shipments or removals. Customers should arrange any insurance cover they require separately in advance.

Professional Packing vs Self-Packing

You do not necessarily have to choose between packing everything yourself and having everything professionally packed.

Depending on your move, options can include:

• Full professional packing
• Partial packing
• Fragile-item packing
• Self-packing

For example, you might pack clothing, books and bedding yourself while asking professional packers to prepare kitchens, glassware, artwork, mirrors or other fragile belongings.
