Best Packing Materials for Moving
Material choice is half of packing. Get it right.
Double-walled cartons
The backbone of every move. Single-walled cartons collapse under stack weight.
Stretch film
For upholstery and dust protection. Doesn't damage fabric.
Bubble wrap
For glass, mirrors and electronics. Two layers for anything valuable.
Furniture blankets
Reusable, thick, padded. Protect wood from scratches and impacts.
Mattress covers
Plastic, sealed. Keep mattresses clean and dry.
Wardrobe boxes
Tall boxes with built-in hangers. Clothes go straight from wardrobe to box.
Custom wooden crates
For anything irreplaceable — art, antiques, chandeliers. Worth every dirham.
What to skip
Newspaper directly against fabric (ink). Old grocery cartons (weak). Plastic bags (sweat, mould).
