Our Top-Selling Moving & Packing Supplies
Moving Boxes
Wheaton can supply a variety of carton shapes and sizes, including extra-large boxes for heavy items. We even carry the following specialty cartons:
- Dish pack: Designed with internal dividers to accommodate fragile items, such as dishware and glassware.
- Wardrobe: Allows clothes to hang on a metal bar, keeping them neat and clean.
- Mattress: Protects mattresses from damage and soiling.
- Mirror: Adjusts to different-sized mirrors, pictures and other fragile, flat items.
Packing Materials
Do you have especially delicate items? Pad your goods with extra cushioning by using protective wrap from Wheaton. We offer:
- Newsprint: Provides a clean, protective surface for almost all your wrapping needs. Unlike actual newspaper, our newsprint contains no ink, which can damage your belongings.
- Bubble pack: Offers greater cushioning and protection for extra fragile items. And when you’re done moving, it’s also fun to pop!
Packing Tape
Heavy-duty tape won’t slip or peel off while your boxes are in transit. Wheaton suggests:
- Choosing a high-quality tape 1½” to 2” wide.
- For added protection, plastic PVC-type tape or strapping tape with filament strands are the best options.
- Make sure containers are securely closed for shipping.
Marking Pens
You’ll want a good marker to avoid confusion later as you hunt for your belongings. Wheaton recommends:
- Selecting a heavy permanent marker.
- Listing the main items in each container.
- Indicating which room boxes are to be placed upon arrival.
- Adding notes, such as “FRAGILE” or “THIS END UP” as needed.
- Identifying cartons with your last name to assist the driver unloading at your destination.
Box Labels
Wheaton provides you with box labels to ensure a smooth and successful moving experience. To get started, just print the labels and attach them to your moving boxes. To help organize, be sure to write which room the contents belong in and what the box contains.
