    Tape Roll
    Tape Roll
    75 metres long x 48mm wide

    Extra strong packaging tape. One roll will seal approximately 20 boxes. It is important to use the correct type of tape to ensure the boxes do not become unstuck during transport.

    Tape the bottom of the box first with two pieces of tape, taping along the join only and down the sides. When the box is full, fold over the flaps and tape along the join. Write on the tape only with a permanent marking pen Don't write on the box. The next person to use the box will cover up your tape and then they can write on their tape. This prevents confusion of what's in the box when delivering and into what room the box should go.

    Beware - tapes are not all the same. There are a huge number of inferior tapes in the market which have poor adhesive qualities and may cause the box to become unstuck during transportation.

    We also offer professional-grade tape dispensers for quick and stress-free taping of the boxes which can be hired or bought separately.

    Wrapping Paper, Butchers Paper, White Paper
    $15.95 - approx 200 sheets
    $29.70 - approx 400 sheets
    (Note: Compare prices, others are selling bundles of 100 sheets)

    White wrapping paper, or as Removalists call it in the industry "Butchers Paper", is ideal for wrapping all your crockery and glassware.

    If you use newspaper the printers ink can come off and stain your crockery, glassware and other items. However, so as not to waste wrapping paper, use newspaper for padding on the bottom of boxes and for filling in spaces in your packing.

    The goods will not be stained as they will be wrapped in the Butchers Paper.When wrapping, prepare a large area such as a table or bench top. Lay the wrapping paper flat ready for use. With dinner and bread plates, to prevent wastage, place the plate on the paper and fold the corner of the paper over to cover the plate. Place another plate of the same size on top and fold the other corner over. If there is still enough paper in that sheet repeat the process.

    For small items tear the sheet in half and even into quarters for even Medium items. With cups, glasses and ornaments wrap each item loosely as air space between the item and the paper helps to cushion the movement.

    Always put heavier items towards the bottom of the box and the lighter fragile items towards the top so as not to crush and cause breakage. Packing is mostly good old common sense!

    Markerpen, permanent marker

    The permanent marking pen is used for writing on the tape to indicate to yourself and the Removalist what is in the box.

    This way the box can be allocated to the right area in the new premises. We have indicated that each customer writes on the tape and not on the box, which leaves just one set of instructions to eliminate confusion.

    The marking pen needs to be a permanent marking pen so that it doesn't rub off the tape during transportation.
