To protect your valuables and make sure your moving boxes stay completely sealed no matter how heavy they are, you need good quality packing tape. Our tape can also be used to secure bubble wrap around fragile items and to ensure large items stay together (such as cabinet doors that stay shut)

Helpful Moving Tips:
What to Leave Behind
if you want to cut your moving expenses to the minimum, one of the best things you can is to reduce your possessions to a minimum. If you moving to a nearby location, it may make sense to take almost everything along, but if you need to move things cross-country, your 10-year-old coffee table should probably stay behind. Here are some tips on how to choose what to take and what to discard:
- Don’t take anything that’s broken or in bad condition. If you haven’t had a chance to reupholster your chair up until now, you probably won’t do it either at your new location. Besides, do you really want to start a new life, in a new home, with furniture that is falling to pieces?
- Throw away all those magazines and newspapers you have been saving “for future reading.” If you’ve had them for more than a month and you haven’t been able to get to them, you probably never will.
- Re-examine whether things really have sentimental value. That ugly vase that’s still in its original cardboard box may have been a gift from somebody you love, but if you’re just hiding it in the closet, does it really make sense to take it along? Only take things you really love and want to display around the house.
- Go through your clothes and donate or give away anything you haven’t worn in the last year. Stop hanging on to clothes in hopes you will lose weight or they will come into fashion again. Not only will this save you money on the moving, but it will make it easier to organize your new closet when you start unpacking.
- Think of your new lifestyle. If you’re moving to a location where the weather is warm year-round, you probably won’t want to take lots of coats or winter wear along. The same is true of winter sport equipment. Unless you plan on flying to a skiing location several times a year, it may make just more sense to rent things when and if you go.
