Wrapping materials
Bubble Wrap
Now let’s not forget about bubble wrap, it’s a great packaging material because it’s secure, waterproof and light. It is also easily manageable and quite cheap. Bubble wrap is great for packing expensive items, glass or just about any easily breakable objects.
Newspaper
You can also use newspaper to protect your objects from breaking but it’s not recommended to use it for expensive items because it does not provide the same security as bubble wrap. It is normally used at protecting plates, domestic appliances and even picture frames. The newspaper can also be shredded before use, but be careful to avoid getting too messy with it.
Cardboard tubes
Cardboard tubes are the same as boxes, of different sizes, and are used to protect important documents, photos and even paintings. The trick to using these is finding the right size for your needs.
Plastic bags
Another often used packaging material are plastic bags such as bin liners. These are great at storing and moving materials such a clothes, drapes, curtains, bed sheets and any other such item.
Before you buy any wrapping materials, please consider all the above information because it will help you pack better, faster and also it will become safer for your items to travel just because you choose the right packaging materials.
