Moving to a new home can be both stressful and exciting at the same time. If you are looking for ways to make it more exciting than stress-inducing, starting your relocation with the right supplies is a great place to start. Augusta Movers has put together a list of some essential supplies you will need to make your residential moving process as effortless as possible. 

Permanent Markers

Packing things in boxes is easy, but unless they are clearly labeled, you may have a hard time locating everything once you get to your new place. Make sure to write in the tops and sides of boxes which room each box needs to be placed. For boxes with fragile items, make sure to note that on each side of the box as well. 

Quality Moving Boxes

Boxes are probably the most essential packing supply needed during any relocation and they come in a variety of sizes and materials. For regular items, quality cardboard boxes are a great option. For fragile or oddly shaped items, you can buy or rent plastic crates. There are even specialized moving boxes for glasses and other items that will ensure your possessions get to their destination in one piece. 

You can also grab some great boxes from behind big box stores to help save money and reuse resources at the same time. Just make sure that you have a variety of sizes to account for all of the things you need to pack. Stick to larger boxes for lightweight items and smaller boxes for heavy items. Not only will they be easier to transport, but they will also have a lower chance of tearing during transport. 

Prepare Your Boxes With The Right Tape

Professional movers know just how important the right type of packing tape can be, but you should too. Packing tape specifically made for moving is essential. It is stronger than regular tape and will help give your boxes the support they need when transporting your possessions. The tape will need to adhere to the bottom and sides of your boxes properly. Make sure to use several layers and even add on some duct tape for an extra-secure seal. Many rolls of tape intended for moving come with dispensers to make sealing your boxes even easier. 

Packing Materials 

Packing materials are just as important as moving boxes. Not only will the right type and amount of materials keep your items safe, but they will also help prevent your boxes from moving during transport. Use old newspapers to pack items, and buy bubble wrap for your fragile items. Towels and cloth that you are packing for your move can also double as packing materials to help save on expenses.
