Boxes, Tape and Bubble-wrap: What other moving supplies do I need?
So, I’ve got a big move coming up—my first in a couple of years. What types of things do I need? I assume boxes, tape and bubble-wrap. Are there any preferences on those supplies? I saw these boxes on amazon and they have an A fakespot rating.
Update: So I purchased the Bankers Box bundle from Amazon. They are pretty clever—it doesn’t look like I will need tape for moving. They are also pretty sturdy and easy to put together.
Although if I were going to do anything different, I’d probably pay a bit more for a 6-pack of the large as opposed to an 8-pack of the medium.

One thing I found invaluable when moving was Ziplock bags—both the small sandwich kind as well as the larger 1 gallon bags.
It was perfect for when things needed to be grouped together and provide an extra bit of padding for the move. Here are some things I used them for on my last move:
- Silverware
- Various cooking utensils
- Pens and pencils
- Cables for my playstation, sound system and other media
- Table coasters
- Batteries
- Various items found in my junk cabinet
They are worth picking up. Trust me.
