At ASP Transport & Removals & Storage, we get asked this question a lot — What packing materials do you use? Whether you’re moving house, relocating an office, or placing items in storage, choosing the right packing materials makes a huge difference. We know how important it is to keep your items safe, clean and easy to transport. That’s why we only use strong, reliable, and purpose-made packing supplies for every job. In this guide, we’ll take you through all the packing materials we use, how they help, and why they’re perfect for your move. You’ll see how each item adds real value and makes your move easier. Let’s get into it!
Double-walled cardboard boxes
Double-walled cardboard boxes give your items strength and structure. These boxes can carry heavy loads without tearing or collapsing. We use them for everything from books to kitchenware. They come in a range of sizes to suit all kinds of belongings. The double layer helps protect against crushing and bumps during transit. We often use small ones for heavier items and large ones for lighter goods like duvets. The boxes have flat surfaces for easy labelling, making organisation simple. Our team also ensures they’re neatly sealed with packing tape for maximum safety. These boxes are fully recyclable and easy to break down after the move. If you’re planning to reuse them, they last a long time when stored dry. We believe double-walled boxes are the backbone of any professional removal. They help us keep your belongings safe every step of the way. You’ll love how secure they feel.
Wardrobe boxes with hanging rails
Wardrobe boxes come with built-in hanging rails, making it easy to move clothes straight from your wardrobe. This saves time and stops your clothes from getting creased or damaged. Each box holds several garments and is sturdy enough to keep its shape during loading. We use these boxes to handle all types of clothing, including suits, dresses and coats. With these, you don’t need to fold anything. Your clothes arrive in the same condition they left. The boxes also have secure flaps and handles for safe lifting. Once you reach your new home, you can hang everything straight into your new wardrobe. No extra ironing needed! These are perfect for anyone who wants a quick and tidy clothing move. Wardrobe boxes are a great example of how the right packing materials make moving more convenient. They’re practical, protective and easy to use for every customer.
Bubble wrap for delicate items
Bubble wrap protects your fragile belongings from shocks and scratches during transport. We use it for glassware, ceramics, picture frames, electronics and more. Each bubble acts as a cushion, helping your items stay safe from knocks. The wrap comes in large rolls, so we can cover items fully. We wrap each item by hand to make sure it’s secure. This material also helps stop things moving around in boxes. We often pair it with packing paper for extra protection. Bubble wrap also works well as padding inside boxes to fill gaps. You can unwrap it easily once you’ve moved in, and reuse it if needed. It’s one of the most flexible and effective packing supplies we use. Every customer benefits from it during their move. With this, your delicate items stay in one piece and look as good as new.
Packing paper for gentle wrapping
Packing paper is ideal for wrapping delicate or lightweight items. It’s soft, clean and easy to handle. We use it for crockery, ornaments, photo frames and glassware. It helps stop scratches and keeps things separate during transport. Unlike a newspaper, it won’t leave any ink marks. That means your items stay clean and ready to use right away. We wrap each piece carefully and then layer them inside boxes. This adds cushioning and keeps things from rattling around. Packing paper also fills small gaps in boxes and helps everything stay in place. You can recycle it or use it again for storage. It’s lightweight but very effective at protecting your valuables. If you’ve got a box of precious bits and bobs, this is the material we trust most. Packing paper adds peace of mind and keeps your belongings in great condition from start to finish.
Stretch wrap for furniture protection
Stretch wrap clings tightly to furniture and helps protect against dust, moisture and scratches. We use it on sofas, chairs, dressers, and any large item with delicate surfaces. It holds padding in place and keeps drawers and doors from opening during the move. This wrap is strong but flexible, making it perfect for awkward shapes. We apply it in layers to build up protection where needed. It’s also clear, so you can still see what’s underneath. We choose stretch wrap because it’s reliable and doesn’t leave marks or sticky residue. When we cover items with it, they’re sealed against dirt and safe from damage. Stretch wrap makes a big difference in keeping your furniture clean and intact. You’ll really notice the care we put in when everything arrives spotless. It’s a key part of our professional moving kit.
Strong packing tape for sealing boxes
Strong packing tape keeps your boxes tightly sealed and ready for moving. It sticks firmly to cardboard and holds under pressure. We use wide, durable rolls to give each box a secure finish. This stops boxes from opening or splitting during transport. The tape has a strong adhesive and doesn’t peel off easily. We apply it along seams and edges for maximum hold. It also helps protect the contents by keeping out dust. You’ll find clear tape works well for all kinds of packing jobs. It’s easy to cut, apply and remove once the move is done. Every one of your boxes gets properly sealed by our team before loading. No corners are left loose. Using strong packing tape means we can handle boxes safely and stack them properly in our vans. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to the whole process.
Foam corners for sharp edges
Foam corners are perfect for protecting the sharp edges of mirrors, paintings and glass furniture. They fit snugly and help stop damage during moving. We use them on everything from large glass tables to family portraits. The foam absorbs pressure if something knocks against the item. It keeps corners from chipping, cracking or scratching other objects. Each corner slips on easily and holds its shape throughout the move. These are ideal for fragile items with exposed edges. You can combine them with bubble wrap or cardboard for even more safety. Foam corners don’t take up much room, but they do a big job. When we pack these items, we always include this extra protection. It helps your belongings arrive exactly how they left — clean, unmarked and intact. Foam corners are just one more way we go the extra mile during your move.
Mattress protectors for hygiene
Mattress protectors are large, waterproof covers that shield your mattress during moving. We use them to keep your beds clean, dry and dust-free. They slip easily over your mattress and seal to stop moisture or dirt from getting in. You’ll never have to worry about rain, dust or stains ruining your bedding. We use new or sanitised covers on every job for hygiene. The protectors are strong and designed to resist tears while carrying. They fit all mattress sizes, including single, double, king and super king. This way, your mattress arrives in the same condition it left. Mattress protectors also help prevent snagging or scuffing while moving through tight spaces. This small investment protects one of the most important items in your home. You’ll be glad we used it when your bed turns up clean and fresh at your new address.
TV and screen covers
TV and screen covers are designed to protect your valuable electronics during transport. We use padded, anti-static covers for flat-screen TVs, monitors and large displays. These covers protect from scratches, pressure, and vibration damage. Each cover fits securely and keeps dust out as well. The padding absorbs any bumps during the move. We carry all screen sizes, from small computer monitors to large cinema-style TVs. Using these covers means your screen won’t need wiping or cleaning when it arrives. They also help prevent cords and remote controls from going missing. Electronics are often the most expensive items in your home. That’s why we treat them with extra care. Our screen covers are built for moving and work far better than household blankets or towels. You’ll love how safe your screen feels when we handle it this way. It’s packing protection you can trust.
Sofa and armchair covers
Sofa and armchair covers shield your soft furniture from dirt, moisture and damage during the move. We use them on every job to protect your fabric or leather seating. These covers slide over your furniture and fasten securely to stay in place. They’re waterproof, tear-resistant and reusable. This protects against muddy hands, sudden rain, or scrapes against doorframes. We carry different sizes for single chairs, two-seaters and corner sofas. The covers work great for both long and short journeys. They also prevent snagging on zips, buckles or sharp objects. Keeping your seating clean means you can relax straight away in your new home. We believe this level of care makes all the difference. It’s one of the reasons people choose us again and again.
