Moving Boxes

When planning a home or office relocation, moving boxes and packing materials are not just accessories—they’re essentials. The right materials ensure your belongings are protected, your packing process is efficient, and your move is as stress-free as possible. At Removals Help, we provide high-quality packing supplies that cater to every moving situation—from small flats in East London to full-scale family house removals across the city.

Whether you’re packing fragile items, bulky furniture, or sensitive electronics, selecting the appropriate boxes and materials will reduce damage, make labeling and stacking easier, and save time on both ends of your move.

Here’s a breakdown of the most essential packing materials that we recommend and provide to our customers:

Shrink wrap, also known as stretch film, is one of the most underrated yet powerful tools in your moving toolkit.

  • Primary Use: Wrapping furniture, securing drawers or cupboard doors, bundling items together.
  • Benefits:
    • Keeps furniture pieces together (e.g., sofas with cushions).
    • Prevents scratches and dust accumulation.
    • Adds an extra layer of water resistance.
  • Pro Tip: Use shrink wrap in combination with moving blankets for superior protection of wood or leather surfaces.

We supply both standard and industrial-strength shrink wrap, ensuring your valuables are tightly secured without damage.

Bubble wrap remains a go-to material for protecting fragile and high-value items.

  • Ideal For:
    • Glassware and ceramics
    • Electronics

  • Why It Works:
    • The air pockets absorb shock during transit.
    • It conforms to odd shapes and corners for maximum protection.
  • Sustainability Note: We also offer eco-friendly bubble wrap options made from recycled materials.

Don’t skip this layer if you’re packing anything with sentimental or financial value. It’s the first line of defense against accidental drops and bumpy roads.
