Professional-grade packing tape secures and reinforces your boxes. Choose rolls of 200 feet, with a 2-inch width. For 50 boxes, expect to use 6 to 8 rolls. Moving blankets help wrap furniture and appliances for long journeys.  ### Practical tips for choosing the right box sizes #### Small boxes - Ideal for books - Recommended for dishware - Great for heavy, compact items #### Medium boxes - Suitable for electronics - Great for pots and pans - Perfect for folded clothes #### Large boxes - For pillows and comforters - For toys - For lightweight, bulky items #### How many boxes should you prepare for your move? - A studio requires about 10 boxes - A one-bedroom apartment needs around 25 boxes - A two-bedroom apartment uses about 45 boxes - A house may need 75 boxes or more ### Where to buy packing materials at the best price?

Place a protective layer of bubble wrap at the bottom of the box.  Stack plates vertically, like in a dishwasher, with paper between each piece. Fill any empty spaces with crumpled paper. For more detailed tips, check out our article on [how to pack your dishes for a move](https://demenagementdmax.com/blog/how-to-pack-dishes-for-a-move). #### Packing glass surfaces For glass and mirrors, apply an "X" with packing tape across the surface before wrapping it in bubble wrap.  Add cardboard corner protectors and place them upright in a box suited to their size. #### Electronics To secure your electronics, take a photo of all connections first. Detach and clearly label each cable.  Use padded materials to protect the device. If possible, keep the original box, which is designed to fit the equipment perfectly. ![Packing fragile dishware with protective paper for a move, showing hands carefully wrapping items for transport.](https://demenagementdmax.com/hs-fs/hubfs/emballage-pour-les-demenagements-longue-distance-vaisselle.png?width=800&height=600&name=emballage-pour-les-demenagements-longue-distance-vaisselle.png) ## Professional packing services for long-distance moves ### Our complete packing service Our [professional packers handle every item with care](https://demenagementdmax.com/en/packing-service).
