A professional move starts with the right boxes. Removalists need a range of sizes and strengths to suit different client needs. Larger cartons such as the single wall teachest or twin wall teachest are perfect for soft goods and bulkier household items, while smaller cartons such as removalist cartons (also known as book boxes), economical A3 cartons, or the heavy duty A3 carton handle heavier items like kitchenware safely. Stocking a variety ensures you can tackle any move efficiently.

2. Clothes Handling Made Simple
Keep your clients’ clothing wrinkle-free and organised during a move. Porta robe & rail cartons allow clothes to be transferred directly from wardrobes to the moving truck, maintaining a professional service and eliminating extra folding.
3. Protective Paper for Fragile Items
Delicate items like glassware, ceramics, and electronics need extra care. Using kraft or white news paper for wrapping prevents breakages and ensures safe transport. Providing high-quality packing paper in your supply stock protects your reputation for reliable moves.
Furniture, mattresses, and larger appliances require careful handling. Moving blankets or moving felt provide essential protection, while items like lounge chairs, office chairs, and mattresses can be safeguarded using seat cover bags, office & dining chair bags, and clear or coloured mattress bags. Proper protective gear reduces damage claims and enhances client satisfaction. Bulk discounts may apply for larger orders, making it cost-effective to stock up for all your moves.
5. Protective Wraps for Furniture & Fragile Items
Pallet wrap or stretch film (maxstretch or bolt pallet wrap) is a versatile solution for securing furniture and keeping items dust-free during transit. For extra fragile items, wrapping in bubble wrap or PE foam adds an extra layer of protection. Eco-friendly options are also available for removalists looking to offer sustainable moving solutions 🌱.
6. Strong, Reliable Tape for Every Move
Durable packing tape is essential for keeping boxes secure during every move. Natural rubber packaging tape offers strong adhesion on all types of cartons, including recycled cardboard, ensuring nothing comes loose in transit. For removalist companies looking to elevate their brand, we also provide custom-printed tape, giving your packaging a professional, branded appearance while reinforcing your business identity.
For removalists, clear labelling makes jobs faster and more organised. Colour-coding and marking each carton with its contents and room destination helps ensure everything ends up in the right place, saving time onsite. Coloured labels or coloured packaging tape keep items sorted at a glance, while fragile labels or fragile tape provide a clear warning so delicate cartons are handled with extra care.
Let’s start with the basics: you’ll need cardboard boxes for nearly everything in your home or office. We offer a wide range of boxes to choose from, but it can sometimes be tricky to pick the ones that are both practical and economical. Larger moving boxes, such as the single wall teachest or twin wall teachest, are ideal for clothes, books, and other household items. For heavier items like kitchenware, it’s best to opt for smaller cartons, such as removalist cartons, economical A3 cartons, or the heavy duty A3 carton.
2. Keep Clothes Safe and Organised
If you want to keep your clothes wrinkle-free and avoid folding them into boxes, we’ve got the perfect solution! Our porta robe & rail cartons make it easy to transfer your clothes directly from your old wardrobe to your new one.
Fragile items like dishes, ceramics, and glass require extra care. Wrap each piece individually in white news, expanding kraft paper or just standard kraft paper, before placing it in a box to prevent breakage and keep your items safe during the move.
To ensure your furniture, mattresses, and larger appliances are transported safely, it’s essential to wrap them correctly. The best way to protect these items is by covering them with protective moving blankets or moving felt. Alternatively, you can use lounge seat cover bags or office & dining chair bags for furniture, and store mattresses in clear mattress bags or coloured mattress bags.
5. Protective Wraps for Furniture & Fragile Items
An alternative to furniture bags is Pallet Wrap/Stretch Film, which works wonders for keeping furniture secure and dust-free during the move. For delicate items, make sure to wrap them individually in bubble wrap or PE Foam for extra protection. Bonus: eco-friendly bubble wrap and stretch wrap are also available for a more sustainable, environmentally conscious move 🌱.
6. Reliable Tape for Every Box
Strong packing tape is essential to ensure your boxes stay secure and sealed throughout the entire move. Natural rubber packaging tape is highly recommended, as its strong adhesive sticks reliably to all types of cartons, whether they’re made from recycled cardboard or not.
7. Labels & Printed Tape for Easy Organisation or Fragile Items
Colour-coding and clearly marking each box with its contents and room destination makes unpacking much faster and more organised. This can easily be done using our coloured labels or coloured packaging tape, which help keep everything sorted at a glance. For fragile items, use Fragile Labels or fragile packaging tape to clearly mark cartons and ensure they are handled with care.
1. Office-Grade Moving Boxes for Every Item
Corporate moves require a variety of box sizes and strengths. Large boxes like single wall teachest or twin wall teachest boxes are ideal for bulk office supplies, while smaller removalist cartons, economical A3 cartons, or the heavy duty A3 carton handle heavier items such as electronics, books, and stationery. Stocking a range of boxes ensures a seamless move for every department.
2. Archive Boxes for Files and Documents
Keeping corporate documents, client files, and office records organized is essential during a move. Archive boxes are designed to securely store files and paperwork, making it easy to transport large volumes while keeping everything in order.
3. Protective Paper for Fragile Office Equipment
Sensitive items like dishes, glass, awards, and framed certificates need extra care. Wrapping each item individually in kraft or white news paper protects them from damage during transport and shows a professional, organised approach to your corporate move.
Furniture, desks, cabinets, and office chairs require careful handling. Moving blankets and moving felt provide essential protection, while items such as lounge chairs, conference chairs, and desks can be safeguarded using seat cover bags, office & dining chair bags, and clear or coloured mattress bags. Bulk discounts may apply for larger orders, making it cost-effective to stock up for all your corporate moves.
5. Protective Wraps for Office Furniture & Electronics
Pallet wrap or stretch film keeps office furniture and IT equipment secure and dust-free during transport. For delicate electronics or glass items, adding bubble wrap or PE foam provides extra safety. Eco-friendly options are also available for offices prioritising sustainable practices or anti-static bubble wrap for electrical equipment.
6. Strong, Reliable Tape for Every Move
Durable packing tape is essential to ensure your boxes stay securely sealed from start to finish. Natural rubber packaging tape provides strong, reliable adhesion on all types of cartons, including recycled cardboard, so documents, office supplies, and equipment remain safe during transit. Using high-quality tape reduces the risk of boxes opening mid-move, protects your assets, and gives your relocation a more professional finish.
During office relocations, clear labelling keeps the move efficient and organised. Colour-coding cartons by department or room ensures everything arrives at the right destination with minimal confusion. Using coloured labels or coloured packaging tape makes it easy to identify items at a glance, while fragile labels or fragile tape provide clear instructions so delicate equipment, files, or electronics are handled with extra care.
