About Removal Packing Boxes
Who are Removal Packing Boxes?
Removal Packing Boxes is a specialist supplier of high-quality packing materials for people who want to pack their belongings themselves. With nearly 20 years’ experience in home and office removals, we supply the same materials used daily by professional removal companies.
Do I need to use a removal company to buy from you?
No. Our packing materials are available to everyone, whether you’re using a removal company or packing and moving yourself.
Cardboard Boxes
What type of cardboard boxes do you sell?
We supply heavy-duty, double-walled corrugated cardboard boxes made from strong 6.5mm BC-flute board. These boxes offer excellent protection against knocks and impacts during moving or storage.
Are your boxes suitable for heavy or fragile items?
Yes. Our large double-wall boxes are ideal for both heavy items (such as books) and fragile items (such as electronics, antiques, and glassware) when packed correctly with protective materials.
Are your packing boxes eco-friendly?
Yes. Our boxes are made from a high percentage of recycled materials, are fully recyclable, and are FSC compliant, meaning the cardboard is sourced responsibly.
Do the boxes arrive assembled?
No. All boxes are delivered flat-packed for easy storage and transport. They are quick and simple to assemble using packing tape.
How are box dimensions measured?
All box dimensions are internal measurements and are listed as length x width x depth.
Packing Paper & Protection
What type of packing paper do you sell?
We sell white news offcuts paper, the same type used by professional moving companies. Each pack contains approximately 300 lightweight sheets.
What is packing paper used for?
Packing paper is ideal for wrapping delicate items such as plates, glasses, ornaments, and crockery. It can also be used for void filling and interleaving items inside boxes.
Do you sell bubble wrap?
Yes. We supply high-quality polythene bubble wrap suitable for protecting fragile items, pictures, mirrors, and valuables during moving or storage. Rolls measure 500mm wide x 100 metres long.
Packing Tape
What makes your moving box tape different?
Our packing tape is 45 microns thick, offering superior strength and durability. It resists wear and tear, is UV and moisture resistant, and performs reliably in temperatures from -23°C to 93°C.
Will the tape yellow over time?
No. Our acrylic-based packing tape will not yellow, making it suitable for long-term storage.
Storage Bags
What are your reusable storage bags used for?
Our heavy-duty storage bags are a lightweight, economical alternative to cardboard boxes. They are ideal for clothes, toys, household items, laundry, storage, travelling, and even camping.
How strong are the storage bags?
The bags are made from premium polypropylene woven material and feature reinforced stitching and wraparound handles. They are designed to carry heavier loads and are weather-resistant.
What sizes and quantities are available?
Each bag measures approximately 80 x 60 x 28 cm. They are sold in assorted colours and available in packs of 5, 10, or 15.
Wardrobe Boxes
What are wardrobe moving boxes?
Wardrobe boxes are tall cardboard boxes with an internal hanging rail, allowing you to transport clothes while they remain on their hangers.
Do wardrobe boxes help prevent clothes creasing?
Yes. Keeping garments hanging during the move helps reduce creases and saves time unpacking.
Are wardrobe boxes easy to assemble?
Yes. They are supplied flat-packed and assemble quickly using tape. Each box includes a durable plastic hanging rail.
Are wardrobe boxes recyclable?
Yes. Like all our cardboard products, they are made using a high percentage of recycled materials and are fully recyclable.
Packing and Moving Advice
How far in advance should I start packing?
Packing almost always takes longer than expected, so it’s best to start early. Begin with items you don’t use every day, such as books, decorations, and seasonal clothing.
What are the essential packing supplies I need?
The main essentials include sturdy packing boxes, strong packing tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, marker pens for labelling, plastic bags for small items, and soft household items like towels or blankets for padding.
How should I label my boxes?
Label every box clearly with its contents and the destination room. This makes unloading and unpacking far quicker and less stressful.
Should I overfill boxes to save space?
No. Overfilled boxes are harder to carry and more likely to break. Use smaller boxes for heavy items and larger boxes for lighter items.
Packing Specific Rooms
What’s the best way to pack a kitchen?
Wrap plates, cups, and glasses individually in packing paper. Use bubble wrap between stacked items and clearly mark boxes as FRAGILE. Dispose of open food and clean appliances before packing.
How should I pack electronics and TVs?
Where possible, use the original packaging. If not, wrap items in bubble wrap and cushion them securely inside sturdy boxes.
How do I pack clothes efficiently?
Wardrobe boxes are ideal for hanging clothes. Alternatively, fold clothes into boxes or reusable storage bags. Suitcases can also be used for quick packing.
What about packing the bathroom?
Pack toiletries last. Make sure all bottles are tightly closed and place them in plastic bags to prevent leaks. Keep medications clearly labelled and consider transporting important prescriptions yourself.
Ordering and Quality
Are your products the same as those used by removal companies?
Yes. All our packing materials are the same high-quality products used daily by professional removal businesses.
Why should I buy packing supplies rather than using old boxes?
Purpose-made packing boxes and materials are stronger, safer, and designed to protect your belongings properly, reducing the risk of damage during your move.
