Answer: You will need boxes, tape, and packing materials. If you are doing the moving yourself you will also need dollies, moving blankets, moving straps, and other protective gear.
Moving supplies are more than just cardboard boxes—but you will also need plenty of those. You can buy moving supplies from your moving company. Getting moving supplies from a professional is a great way to know exactly how much you will need. Instead of buying items you may never use again, you can actually rent things like dollies, moving blankets, and other assistive and protective items from the moving company you will be working with as well.
Make sure to get plenty of the moving essentials. You will need boxes, tape, and a tape dispenser to make it easier to tape up all those boxes.

Get box dividers to help pack away dishes and other fragile items. For these things you should also get some bubble wrap and/or packing paper. Don’t forget to get permanent markers or labels to let the movers know where the boxes should go.
