List of Packing Materials You Need When Moving House



Moving house can be such a stressful event, but it doesn’t have to be as anxiety-ridden if you hire the right movers in Malaysia. If you are determined to pack up your house on your own rather that enlist packers and movers in Malaysia to do it for you, it is important to prepare well in advance and make sure you have everything you need on-hand. It is important to acquire the right packing materials, instead of leaving it to chance to find the right boxes by asking at your local convenience store. Remember, the right packing materials will help protect your belongings in transit.

When packing your household, you will need the following items: boxes, tape, bubble wrap or similar, packing paper, scissors, black/dark marker pens and colour-coding materials, such as coloured tape or stickers. Colour-coding will allow you identify which boxes go in the corresponding rooms.

When it comes to boxes, we strongly suggest using only high-quality boxes, which the team at international removalists Allied can supply, to protect your items. Using cheap or substandard boxes may result in your precious possessions inside them being crushed or the boxes breaking open as they may not be suitable for carrying heavy objects. Your choice of tape is also very important. Masking or postal tape for parcels are not likely to be strong enough to keep your boxes together for long periods. Cardboard boxes are usually covered in a thin layer of dust from their production and require a strong tape to avoid the adhesive from ungluing. Our experienced movers in Malaysia can supply the right tape.

Bubble wrap or polystyrene packaging materials do a good job at protecting odd-shaped items or pieces that may be brittle on the move. Similarly, packing paper can be wrapped around plates and breakable pieces to help reduce the risk of damage. We suggest not using newspaper as the ink can transfer onto delicate materials and mark your belongings.

Considering the materials and the quality required, you may find that utilising the services of packers and movers in Malaysia, such as Allied, is a valuable investment to ensure the safety of your treasured belongings. We have teams of highly trained and experienced packers that will pack your entire home or office in a fraction of the time it would take you. Not only that, if we pack your items, our insurance covers any breakages if they should occur, whereas there are limitations on the insurance we can offer if you pack up your property yourselves. We want you to have the least stressful move as possible, so our packing service is competitively priced and best of all, we bring all the packing materials we estimate you’ll need, with a slight surplus just in case.

It does not matter if you are packing for yourselves or are employing the services of an Allied moving consultant, our staff can provide no-obligation quotes. Call us on +60 3 6253 6553 or send us a message via our website and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
