When your done protecting your furniture with blankets, its really easy to secure the blankets with stretch wrap. JB Moving uses shrink wrap on more than your sofa, it works well keeping file cabinets closed, desk drawers shut, long and thin items bundled together. It even keeps your mattress covers intact.
Moving Your Home, Local, Long Distance, and International
It has been used for decades and trusted by JB Moving and other professional movers over all other packing material: NEWSPRINT! You can not go wrong with a 25 pound bundle of unprinted newsprint packing paper. Wrap everything up, stuff it in corners and use for padding on the top and bottom of your boxes to make them strong! Its clean, and recyclable and safe.

Boxes are like movers, they come in all shapes and sizes. JB Moving uses industry standard size boxes for packing and moving your goods. When you pack yourself, stick to some simple rules: -The heavier the item, the smaller the box. -The lighter the item, the bigger the box. -Pack each box with heavy items on bottom and lighter on the top. -Mark each box on the side, with contents and location in new home. -Stuff empty space with paper and keep boxes from being crushed.

Before you start packing, go through each room and label things to be packed or not packed. Also it is good to label items that may not be moving or are being donated and given away. JB Moving can provide you with the labels to help make things a little less stressful.

Accurately marking the outside of the box with details like whats inside and where in your new place it is going is a good start to keeping the headache away while moving. At JB Moving we like the chisel tip Marks-A-Lot because you can mark in big letters as well as smaller.
Here at JB Moving we use IPG tape as we feel it seals our cartons and keeps them sealed while moving with superior adhesion and strength, the rolls are just the right size for a proper tape gun! From their website: 1.75 mil Utility Grade Acrylic CST - BOPP carton sealing tape for light weight, non-critical, box sealing, package repair, and bundling applications. Provides excellent clarity and high shear strength.
