Discover what packing gear professional movers in Philadelphia actually use. Skip the fluff — here’s your must-have list for a smooth move.
Most people underestimate packing. It’s not just about throwing stuff into boxes. Proper materials protect your valuables, save time on moving day, and even reduce costs by preventing damage. The truth? Cheap tape, flimsy boxes, or the wrong padding can turn your move into a disaster.
That’s why we’re revealing the exact materials our Philadelphia crew uses on every job.
Here’s what makes our list of must-haves—no gimmicks, just gear that works:
Double-Walled Cardboard Boxes
These aren’t your average supermarket boxes. They’re sturdy, stack well, and keep fragile items safe. Alt text: stack of sturdy double-walled moving boxes
Packing Paper (Not Newspaper)
Newspaper leaves ink marks. Instead, use clean packing paper to wrap glasses, dishes, and delicate items.
Heavy-Duty Tape & Dispenser
Pro tip: Skip the dollar store tape. Industrial-strength tape with a quality dispenser will save hours.
Bubble Wrap for the Fragile Stuff
Think TVs, vases, mirrors. Bubble wrap offers unmatched shock absorption.
Mattress Covers
If you're moving a bed, a waterproof cover protects it from dust and damage.
Furniture Blankets
These padded blankets prevent scratches, dents, and scuffs—especially important for wood or glass surfaces.
Stretch Wrap
Ideal for keeping drawers shut or holding protective materials in place. Also helps prevent surface scratches.
Labeling Markers & Stickers
Simple but vital. Clear labeling avoids confusion and speeds up unpacking.
