Furniture storage packing and belongings for a move is a milestone for the success of the move itself. In fact, if badly packed, personal effects during transport could be damaged or lost, for this reason, it is important to know what to use and how to best arrange them.
The necessary packaging material
Packing boxes. Packing boxes are required for tableware, fabrics, and clothing.
Bubble wrap. The bubble wrap is a plastic sheet that has air bubbles inside, this feature allows it to cushion shocks and rubbing while protecting the objects in which they are wrapped.
Wrapping paper. It has the same function as bubble wrap but is clearly less shock absorbing.
Plastic bags. Plastic bags are useful for protecting furniture from the sun and dust.
Scotch tape. To close the boxes.

How to pack furniture for moving
To organize a move it is essential to disassemble the furniture so that they can be transported more easily, in fact, some pieces of furniture such as wardrobes, if left whole, would not pass through the door.
It is then essential to number the pieces and assemble them keeping them together with adhesive tape and bubble wrap.
As for the objects, it is necessary to put them in the boxes. There are two types of boxes, a single-wave, and a double-wave. The single-wave boxes are lighter and are used to carry light objects such as clothes, the double-wave boxes are more resistant and therefore suitable for carrying heavier objects such as books.
More delicate items such as glass and crystal plates and glasses must be protected more to prevent them from breaking through the wrapping paper and bubble wrap.
How to use the bubble wrap?
Every single object must be completely wrapped in a bubble wrap sheet and placed inside the box together with the other objects. There must be no empty spaces inside the box to avoid rubbing or bumps.
