Moving supplies are going to include boxes for small things and larger appliances. It includes sealing tape, string, bubble wrapping and any other packing materials you need. If you are using a moving company, they will have everything they need. If the price is cheap when you buy the supplies, make sure you get everything you need before the day of the move. If you are packing your belongings yourself, you will need the proper packing material to protect your breakables from a ride in a truck. If you are moving out of state, make sure everything is packed safely for the long bumpy ride.
The moving supplies you buy must be made for truck shipping. Some boxes you get free from the grocery store, made not hold up because they have already been used. You need strong sealing tape and tape the top and bottom securely before placing anything in the box. If you use appliance boxes, make sure that you use some type of foam to protect knob and handles. Use as much bubble packing as you need, never skimp where your breakables are concerned. In some cases, it is easier to let the moving company pack everything up for you. The insurance coverage also covers your belongings if you let the moving company pack and move your belongings.
Because movers do this type of work as a profession, they are aware of issues with moving valuable belongings. They can use just the right amount of packing supplies and make sure everything is sealed up tightly. If you choose to pack your belongings for the move, talk to the moving company and see what they recommend for you to use as far as boxes and inner packing materials. They will be happy to tell you what they prefer and what will work the best for shipping your belongings.
