Here are some tips to help you use bubble wrap effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Bubble wrap is good for fragile items such as glass and porcelain dishes. When stacking these items, place them on their edges and not flat.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If you want maximum protection, be sure to wrap the items with the bubble side facing inwards.&nbsp;<\/li><li>The size of the bubble you use is directly proportional to the size and weight of the item you are moving.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Packing Boxes&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These may well be the most important items you need. Why? That's a simple question. It's because they hold the items while you are moving.

All you must do is place related items in a specific box and label them. There, easy, right?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mattress Bag&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your mattress is your rest haven, and you wouldn't want it getting dirty during moving, right?

Below are some tips to help you with the taping process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>When getting tape, you might want to dig deep into your pocket. Why? The cheapest tape is not probably going to be sticky enough, which might leave you with unsecured boxes.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Ideally, start taping from halfway up the box to add extra security and prevent it from flipping.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Using a tape gun, tape the box\u2019s sides to add extra support where the flaps meet.&nbsp;<\/li><li>For heavier boxes, you might want to tape them in a criss-cross manner.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tape Dispensers<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tape dispensers are always a good idea if you want to make the taping process easy and fast.
