Types of packing equipment used in an international relocation - Part 2

Updated: Jan 21, 2020

Previously we discussed the kind of packing equipment that is used in moving by international moving services in Dubai. We learned about the different kinds of boxes that are used for various items and the various degrees of strength and safety they provide. Below you will be informed about other packing equipment that is used by the best movers and packers in UAE.

Plastic: A lot of plastic wrap is used during packing. This is mainly used to keep the goods waterproof. This is also used to seal furniture like bureaus so that the drawers don’t open. Plastic wrappers like bubble wrap, keep away dust too. They usually provide the first layer of protection to the items being transported by the movers and packers Dubai to India. However, we recommend that you ask your home shifting services to use less or recyclable plastic as it is harmful for the environment.


Peanut packing: Packing peanuts are used to fill up the space in the box to avoid any movement inside it that may lead to damage of the delicate items that you are going to be shifting to Dubai from India. For maximum protection from any damage, we insist that you cover the bottom of the box with a layer of packing peanuts before placing the items in and covering it with peanuts again.


Box cutter: A box cutter should always be kept handy when moving to a new home. A good quality box cutter will make quick work of opening all kinds of boxes when unpacking. It is easy to unpack a lot of heavy duty boxes with a box cutter rather than a pair of scissors.


Scissors: Do not forget to carry a pair of scissors to cut through layers of plastic and cardboard on your belongings after the move. Carry it when packing too in case you want to make some changes in the boxes and the items packed in it.


Labelling: Labelling may seem unnecessary at first. However, it is a good measure to take when moving internationally with the help of the moving services you have hired. Label boxes and containers to know what items they hold. There is equipment in the market that will make labelling seem less of a hassle. There are self-adhesive labels available with label makers for neat and precise labelling. If you can’t find that, you can always label boxes by simply pasting a plain paper on it and writing the contents of the box. Moving companies in Dubai like Writer Relocations appreciate the help that labelling provides when shifting homes.


Lastly, do not forget to make sure that all and any equipment used in the move by you and the moving team is recyclable and eco-friendly.



These were the last few packing equipment that is used by professional packers and movers while they pack your items and move them from one country to another. We hope you enjoyed knowing about these articles and that this blog will be helpful to you in the future when you are planning your moving day.
