Packing for a move can be stressful. We have found that the right supplies makes the process easier, faster, and safer. Many people overbuy or get unnecessary items, which adds clutter and costs. This checklist will help you focus on what you truly need—and avoid what you don’t.
What You Need
1. Reusable Moving Totes
Totes are sturdy, stackable, and protect your items better than cardboard boxes. They’re also eco-friendly and save time. Check out all of our rental products here:

2. Bubble Wrap or Towels
Use these to wrap fragile items like dishes, glassware, and electronics.
3. Labels or Markers
Clearly label each tote with the room and contents to make unpacking easier. Box Rental Express provides FREE labels and a marker for each order.
4. Zip-Top Bags
Keep small parts, screws, and cords organized.
5. Specialty Items (Optional)
Items like wardrobe totes or mattress covers can help protect larger items.
What You Don’t Need
1. Excess Cardboard Boxes
Cardboard boxes can crush and tear easily. Using reusable totes avoids waste and saves money.
2. Too Much Tape
When you choose totes over cardboard boxes, you eliminate the need for tape!
3. Flimsy or Random Containers
Stick to uniform totes for stacking and safe transport.
