Essentials Moving Kit

The Essentials Moving Kit combines 30 boxes in five practical sizes with bubble wrap, parcel tape and a tape gun. Therefore, it provides the core supplies required for a smaller move or the first stage of a larger packing project.

The bundle includes compact double wall boxes for smaller or denser belongings, medium cartons for everyday household items and larger boxes for bulky, lightweight contents. It also contains six pre-owned double wall boxes that provide additional capacity while supporting the reuse of suitable packaging.

A 500mm x 100m roll of small bubble wrap helps protect fragile household goods. Meanwhile, three rolls of brown parcel tape and a 50mm tape gun support efficient box assembly and sealing.

Moving requirements vary between customers and properties. Consequently, this bundle works best as a starter kit or as a practical choice for smaller moves. Customers with large quantities of fragile, bulky or valuable belongings may require additional boxes and protective packaging.

Choosing the Right Box

Use the smallest practical carton for dense or heavier belongings. This approach helps keep the finished box at a manageable lifting weight and reduces unnecessary movement inside.

The medium-sized cartons suit a broad range of everyday household items. Meanwhile, the larger boxes provide more space for bulky, lightweight belongings that would quickly fill smaller cartons.

Before packing:

1. Sort belongings by room and item type.
2. Separate fragile products from general household goods.
3. Identify heavy or dense items.
4. Select a suitable carton size.
5. Prepare enough protective packaging.
6. Keep each completed box at a manageable lifting weight.
7. Use additional protection where the contents require it.

305 x 229 x 229mm Double Wall Boxes

The Essentials Moving Kit contains six compact double wall cartons measuring 305 x 229 x 229mm, or approximately 12 x 9 x 9 inches.

Their manageable size makes them useful for smaller or denser belongings, including:

• Books
• Small ornaments
• Tools
• Kitchen accessories
• Toiletries
• Office supplies
• Photographs
• Collectables
• Small electrical items
• Other suitable household goods

Wrap delicate items before placing them inside the cartons. Additionally, fill empty spaces to reduce movement during handling.

381 x 254 x 277mm Double Wall Boxes

Six medium double wall cartons measure 381 x 254 x 277mm, or approximately 15 x 10 x 10.9 inches.

These boxes provide flexible capacity for kitchenware, small appliances, toys, accessories, office supplies and general household belongings.

Although the double wall construction provides additional strength, always distribute the contents evenly and keep the packed carton at a comfortable lifting weight.

485 x 330 x 330mm Single Wall Boxes

The bundle includes six single wall cartons measuring 485 x 330 x 330mm, or approximately 19.1 x 13 x 13 inches.

These cartons suit lighter belongings such as:

• Folded clothing
• Bedding
• Towels
• Soft furnishings
• Plastic household goods
• Toys
• Lightweight kitchen accessories
• Other non-fragile items

Avoid filling single wall cartons with dense or excessively heavy belongings. Instead, use a suitably sized double wall carton where additional strength remains necessary.

450 x 450 x 516mm Double Wall Boxes

Six large double wall boxes measure 450 x 450 x 516mm, or approximately 17.7 x 17.7 x 20.3 inches.

Their larger capacity suits bulky but comparatively lightweight belongings, including bedding, cushions, soft toys, lampshades and suitable decorative items.

Do not fill large cartons with heavy books, tools or dense kitchenware. A large box can quickly become difficult or unsafe to lift when packed with heavy contents.

Pre-Owned Double Wall Boxes

The bundle contains six pre-owned double wall cartons measuring 589 x 508 x 381mm, or approximately 23.2 x 20 x 15 inches.

These larger boxes provide additional packing capacity and encourage the continued use of existing packaging materials.

Because the cartons are pre-owned, their appearance can vary. They may display:

• Previous branding
• Printed artwork
• Labels
• Tape
• Surface marks
• Colour differences
• Other signs of previous use

The supplied cartons may not match the product photograph exactly. Customers who require new or visually consistent boxes should select a suitable new-carton product instead.

Small Bubble Wrap

The Essentials Moving Kit includes one roll of small bubble wrap measuring 500mm x 100m, or approximately 19.7 inches x 328 feet.

Small bubble wrap can help protect:

• Crockery
• Glassware
• Ornaments
• Picture frames
• Small electrical items
• Decorative accessories
• Fragile kitchenware
• Other delicate belongings

Wrap each product separately and add extra layers around vulnerable corners, edges and surfaces. Next, place the wrapped items inside a suitably sized box and use additional cushioning where necessary.

Test the bubble wrap before prolonged contact with polished, painted, printed or easily marked surfaces.

Brown Parcel Tape and Tape Gun

The bundle includes three rolls of brown parcel tape. Each roll measures 48mm x 66m, or approximately 1.9 inches x 216.5 feet.

Together, the rolls provide 198 metres, or approximately 649.5 feet, of tape for assembling, closing and reinforcing the included cartons.

The 50mm budget tape gun helps apply the parcel tape quickly and consistently. Ensure the tape sits correctly inside the dispenser and keep hands away from the cutting blade.

For a secure closure:

1. Close the bottom flaps.
2. Apply tape along the central opening.
3. Reinforce the adjoining edges where necessary.
4. Press the tape firmly onto clean and dry cardboard.
5. Pack the carton without overfilling it.
6. Close the top flaps.
7. Seal the top securely with parcel tape.

Tape adhesion may vary according to dust, moisture, temperature, cardboard condition and storage conditions.

Additional Protective Packaging

This bundle provides the essential products for smaller moves and starter packing projects. However, the amount of protection required will depend on the belongings being packed.

Customers may need to purchase additional products separately, including:

• Extra bubble wrap
• Loose fill
• Fragile printed tape
• Additional parcel tape
• Document wallets
• Wardrobe boxes
• Foam rolls
• Corrugated cardboard
• Tissue paper
• Additional moving boxes

Use extra protection for fragile, valuable, polished or easily damaged belongings.

Essentials Moving Kit Packing Instructions

1. Sort belongings by room and item type.
2. Choose a carton that suits the size and weight of the contents.
3. Seal and reinforce the bottom with brown parcel tape.
4. Place heavier items at the bottom of the box.
5. Position lighter belongings above heavier items.
6. Wrap fragile products separately with bubble wrap.
7. Add suitable cushioning to empty spaces.
8. Close the carton without forcing the flaps.
9. Seal the top securely with parcel tape.
10. Label the box with its destination room and general contents.
11. Keep important documents and valuables separate.
12. Store completed cartons in a clean and dry area.

Essentials Moving Kit Safe Handling

Do not overfill the cartons or allow the contents to extend above the closing flaps.

Keep each completed box at a weight that the intended handler can lift and carry safely. Furthermore, use smaller cartons for dense belongings and larger boxes for lightweight items.

Use suitable lifting techniques and ask for help with large, awkward or heavy cartons. The largest box does not necessarily suit the heaviest contents.

Do not lift cartons by their closing flaps. Instead, support each box from underneath and keep the load close to your body.

Store packed boxes on a clean and level surface. Place heavier cartons at the bottom of a stack and avoid putting excessive weight on boxes containing fragile or crushable items.

Therefore, wrap food products separately in packaging approved for direct food contact before placing them inside a moving box.

Do not place unpackaged food directly against pre-owned cartons, bubble wrap or other packaging materials unless suitable documentation confirms that application.

Essentials Moving Kit Recycling and Disposal

Reuse the cartons whenever they remain clean, dry and suitable for continued use.

When the cardboard reaches the end of its useful life, remove tape, labels and other incompatible materials before placing it into an appropriate cardboard recycling stream.

Recycling options for bubble wrap and parcel tape vary between local authorities and commercial waste providers. Therefore, check the relevant local guidance before disposal.

Keep lightweight plastic packaging secure so it cannot escape into the environment.
