Must-Have Moving Supplies

Before you begin packing for your move, take a minute to look over your supplies. Do you really have everything you need in one place, or is there a chance you’ll find yourself running out for something you forgot at the last minute? Here are some moving supplies in St. Louis, MO we recommend everyone stock up on:

 

Tape

You may read this and think, “Of course I bought tape!” But the real question is this: did you buy enough? And did you buy the right types? Packing tape is fine, but masking tape is nice to have on hand when it comes to labeling. You can write on it with a marker and it tears right off. Be sure to stock up on refills if you buy a dispenser device.

 

Moving Pads

In the past, many people simply loaded their furniture into moving trucks and packed around it. Though convenient, this process frequently results in unintended damage. Do right by your furniture by investing in protective moving pads, which you can wrap around furniture’s corners and other vulnerable components.

 

Carpet Shields

Moving is a messy process that can result in inadvertent spills, scrapes, and other damage--especially when it comes to your floors. You can rest easy knowing your carpeting is protected by applying carpet shields before any move.
