Packing materials

The right materials start with what you need to pack.

Packing for an international move or shipment? Tell us what you're taking and we can discuss suitable boxes and protective materials. Include materials in your moving enquiry, or ask separately about empty boxes and delivery before you pack.

Match materials to the contents

Books, crockery, pictures and larger household items need different preparation. Describe the items rather than guessing that one box size will suit everything. Mention fragile surfaces, awkward shapes and furniture that needs its own protection.

Give us a useful starting quantity

A room-by-room list or approximate box count helps the discussion. Say whether you already have materials and which items remain unpacked. If you are uncertain, upload an inventory or photos and ask for help assessing what is needed.

Confirm the supply details

Send a materials enquiry so we can confirm sizes, quantities, availability, price and delivery arrangements before you make your packing plans. Include the delivery location and when you hope to begin packing.

Keep specialist packing separate

Ask for assessment before packing an item that may need crating or particular handling. Tell us if you would prefer packing help for those pieces. Material supply and packing labour are separate tasks unless the quotation includes both.

Request materials in one step

Tick packing materials in the moving form and use the notes or uploads to explain your requirements. Your contact and route details travel with the same enquiry, so there is no extra form to complete.

Your questions answered

Can I ask without knowing every quantity?

Yes. Tell us what you plan to pack and label quantities as estimates. An inventory or room photos can help clarify the requirements.

Are materials included in packing services?

Check the agreed quotation. It should explain which materials are included and whether any separate supply or specialist work is needed.

Need boxes delivered before you pack?

Request empty boxes by type and quantity, with your delivery location and timing. If you are also requesting a move, use the packing materials checkbox in that moving form to keep your details in one enquiry.
