Supplies to help with the big move

Moving day often starts well before the first box is loaded into the truck. Whether you’re transitioning to a new home or dorm room, having the right moving supplies can help keep the process a little more manageable.

Common moving supplies include:

• Moving bags for easily transporting clothing and textiles
• Zippered storage cases for keeping items secure
• Moving carts for carrying multiple bags and boxes at once

Using a mix of containers and storage boxes can make it easier to sort things by room or category, so you’re not searching for coffee mugs in a box full of winter sweaters. As you pack, don’t forget to keep first-night essentials like toiletries, medications and chargers separate – your future self will thank you.

Are moving bags a good idea?

Moving bags are a reusable alternative to traditional cardboard boxes for many household items. They’re especially useful for laundry, bedding, towels, stuffed animals and other items that can be bulky or awkward to pack.

Unlike disposable packing materials, moving bags continue carrying their weight long after you’ve settled into your new place. They can be used to store seasonal decorations, extra linens, out-of-season clothing or other items that aren’t needed every day. Pair them with additional storage and organization solutions to help everything find a home after unpacking.

How do moving dollies help with large items?

A moving dolly is a wheeled platform designed to transport bulky items with less lifting and carrying. While heavy-duty dollies are best suited for furniture and appliances, our lightweight moving carts are useful for bags and smaller boxes.

By reducing the number of trips needed, moving carts can help take some of the strain off your arms and back. Sometimes the smallest helpers can make moving day feel a little lighter.
