Murphy's law is usually well at work on moving day, when anything that can go wrong will go wrong. The best way to avoid frustration when packing up is to be conscientious about the major matters as well as the minor details. Renting the correct-sized U-Haul, recruiting friends to help load and unload, and possessing a key to the new pad are among the major assignments for moving.
Successful completion of the minor assignments, like having the right kinds of packaging tape, can also help keep major catastrophes at bay.
Organized packing is a gift we give ourselves, while haphazard boxing is a curse we have to live with. Several kinds of packaging tape make the unloading and unpacking process a breeze. Colored packaging tape can help distinguish the contents of a box. Each color can represent a different room, item, or owner. Imagine the ease of directing movers: Yellow-taped boxes go in the kitchen, blue boxes go in the den, red boxes go in the master bedroom. A color-coded system is much less tacky, too, than the chicken scratch of permanent markers. Fast-Pack.com sells six rolls of any color packaging tape for $16.
Printed packaging tape is another way to reveal the insides of a container on the outside. Popular printed tape designs such as fragile warnings and stop signs are available at Papermart.com as well as the option to customize packaging tape with a logo, phrase, or artwork in any color of the rainbow. Several kinds of tape are available to choose from, including clear tape, acrylic packaging tape, and gum tape.
Jewelry, pharmaceuticals, and other valuable items can be protected by security tape. This red or blue sealing tape leaves a message on its box, reading OPEN VOID, if the tape has been removed or tampered with. This unique packaging tape is available at Specialtytapefactory.com.
Specialty Tape Factory also carries a number of other useful kinds of packaging tape, offering free shipping for purchases over the fifty dollar minimum. The inexpensive and basic acrylic carton sealing and packaging tape comes in various widths. This clear tape requires a tape dispenser for easy unraveling and cutting. Industrial duct tape can be ripped evenly by hand, does not twist during application, and can be applied to irregular surfaces. Attractive colors like teal and burgundy are available for this affordable and durable waterproof packaging tape.
Foam tape is valuable for cushioning, and for trapping moisture, dust, and contaminants. Scotch tape makers, 3M, sells urethane foam tape with an acrylic adhesive for good sticking power and performance in high temperatures. Scotch brand also makes several kinds of strapping tape, also called filament tape. As strapping tape meets both U.P.S and U.S. postal regulations, it is well suited for boxes that will be jostled around in transport. This shock-resistant heavy duty packaging tape stretches 15% before it breaks, and costs $3 to $14 a roll depending on grade. A tape dispenser can be purchased separately.
A variety of packaging tape dispenser guns priced from $8 to $35 can be purchased at Framingsupplies.com. Make sure the box sealing gun is compatible with the packaging tape being used, and the assistance of a tape dispenser will contribute to tighter box sealing, eliminate tape messes, and shave time off the boxing process.
Minutes of diligence in the weeks before a move will pay off in hours of reward at the new location. Packages with rips through the seams, leaks, and theft will be the stuff of nightmares, not real-life stories. Moving is work enough as it is—better to ease the burden and remember the details, like hard-working and case-specific packaging tape.
