The Advantages of Using Starter Packs During a Move

Starter Packs Explained

Relocating can be a complex and stressful process, but using starter packs from Kiwi Self Storage can significantly ease the burden. These packs, designed to cater to different household sizes, offer a comprehensive solution for packing and organizing belongings. With over 25 years of experience in the storage business we know what people purchase for each situation.

We have put together three different starter packs featuring the most purchased groups of items. The contents are shown under each image along with the savings over retail from using starter packs.

There are many advantages of using starter packs during a move or relocation. Lets have a look at some of them now and their availability from Kiwi Self Storage Boxshops.

Comprehensive Solution for Packing

All-in-One Convenience
Starter packs are designed to provide everything you need for packing in one convenient package. Kiwi Self Storage offers three types of starter packs: Small, Medium, and Large. These packs are tailored to suit different household sizes, ensuring you have the right selection of supplies without the hassle of buying items individually. For instance, the Small Starter Pack is ideal for a one-bedroom house, while the Large Starter Pack is suitable for a three to four-bedroom house. You may need to buy more than one of each type depending on your needs.

Quality Packing Materials
The starter packs include high-quality packing materials such as sturdy cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and wrapping paper.
Some suppliers sell bubble wrap that goes flat while you are wrapping your valuables. That won’t happen with our bubble wrap, which will continue to cushion your items right through your move. These materials are essential for protecting your belongings during the move. Using high-quality supplies reduces the risk of damage to your items, providing peace of mind during the relocation process.

Cost-Effective
Purchasing a starter pack can be more cost-effective than buying packing materials separately. Kiwi Self Storage's starter packs are priced competitively, offering a cost-saving solution for movers. The Small Starter Pack is priced at $58.00*, the Medium at $152.00*, and the Large at $230.00*. These packs provide good value for money, ensuring you have all necessary materials without overspending. The amount you save over retail for each type of pack is shown above.

Streamlined Packing Process

Organized Packing
Starter packs help streamline the packing process. With all necessary supplies at your disposal, you can pack your belongings in an organized manner. The packs include boxes of various sizes, which can be used to categorize and pack items efficiently. For example, larger boxes can be used for bulky items, while smaller boxes are perfect for fragile or smaller belongings. Contents across the starter packs also include: Archive boxes for documents, mirror boxes for glass, pictures or other flat rectangular fragile items, Portarobes for clothing or tea chests for larger items. Remember to label each box with the room and contents to make it easy to unload the box to the correct location later.

Time-Saving
Using a starter pack saves time as you don’t have to spend hours sourcing different packing materials. Everything you need is provided, allowing you to focus on packing and organizing your move. This is particularly beneficial if you are on a tight schedule and need to complete your move quickly.
