Best Packing Materials for Moving

Material choice is half of packing. Get it right.

Materials

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).
