Moving out for the first time is sure to cause a mix of emotions, from joy and excitement to worry and anxiety. You’re likely wondering “where do I start?” or “what do I need?”. Not to worry – the Knoxville movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage have you covered. Here are the packing supplies you need as a first-time mover:

Boxes – this seems like the most obvious supply; however, most people tend to underestimate just how many boxes they will need during a move. Make sure your boxes range in size, and fill the smaller ones with heavier items, and the bigger boxes with lighter items.

Trash bags – If you’re not throwing away some items during you’re move, you’re doing it wrong. One of the most essential parts of a move is decluttering and getting rid of all that extra junk you have lying around. Fill up those bags and make your move easier!

Markers or labels – Label every box and bag. When you go to unpack you’ll know exactly which box should go where, and what’s in the box. This will make unpacking a breeze.

Packing paper – Special packing paper is helpful for protecting fragile items like glassware.

Of course, you could skip all the stress and just hire professional Knoxville packing services. All My Sons Moving & Storage offers full-service or partial packing options to make your move as easy as possible. We provide all the supplies, and we pack everything for you. Call us for moving help.
