Bekins Packing and Moving Supplies

A worry-free move is all about the details. One of those details is making sure you’re using the right moving materials for packing, so your items will be protected.

From moving boxes to bubble wrap to professional tape, we have the moving accessories you need to make sure your items arrive safely, whether you’re packing or we are. If you’re doing your own packing, tell your Bekins agent—our packing supplies are specially designed for moving, with shapes and sizes for all kinds of items. We can provide them even if you’re doing the packing yourself.

Cartons and Boxes

Bekins can supply a variety of cartons and boxes for moving, including:

• Dish pack cartons designed with internal dividers to accommodate fragile items such as dishware and glassware.
• Wardrobe boxes that allow clothing to hang on a metal bar.
• Mattress boxes that will protect mattresses from damage and soiling.
• Mirror boxes that can adjust to different-sized mirrors, pictures and other fragile, flat items.
• Specialty boxes for hard-to-pack items. We can even provide custom crating for high-value items and antiques—check with us for all the details.

Protective Wrap

Extra cushioning is always a good idea when moving something fragile. Protective wrap can ensure your items remain undamaged throughout the course of your move. We offer:

• Newsprint that provides a clean, protective surface for almost all of your packing needs. Unlike actual newspaper, our newsprint contains no ink, which can damage your items.
• Bubble pack that offers greater cushioning and protection for fragile items.

Tape

It may seem like a small thing, but having high-quality tape is critical to keeping your belongings safe. Bekins can provide:

• High-quality packing tape that’s 1½” to 2′ wide.
• PVC-type tape or strapping tape with filament strands for extra sturdy packing.

If you’re packing yourself, please make sure that all containers are securely closed for shipping.

Marking Pen

Clearly mark boxes with a bold marking pen so you’ll avoid confusion later as you unpack. Bekins recommends:

• Using a heavy permanent marker.
• Listing items on the outside (top and sides) of each box.
• Marking the outside of each box with the room it should be placed in.
• Adding notes such as “FRAGILE” and “THIS END UP” as needed.
• Identifying cartons and boxes with your last name to assist the driver unloading at your destination.

Box Labels

Bekins provides you with box labels to stay organized during your move. Simply print out the labels and attach them to your moving boxes. They will help you define what room the items came from so you can get them in the right spot quickly when you move into your new home.
