What type of moving boxes and other packing supplies are out there for your next long-distance move.

Here’s a little storytime from one of our clients.

“When I moved from the U.S. to Asia for the first time in 2004, I didn’t have enough time and energy to prepare myself for this long-distance move by reading up on different types of moving supplies. So, a few weeks before moving day, I grabbed my phone and saw DTC movers: packing and moving company and decided to buy some items they recommended.

I bought some boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and newsprint paper recommended by Denver movers. They were the best quality, and they protected my stuff from the bottom and tops. The best part was that I had packed some of my most valuable items, including family heirlooms (pictures), flat-screen TV, laptops, and other electronics inside these lightweight boxes. When I arrived at my new home, many of my items were safe due to the protection offered by these moving supplies.”
