Storage Packing Supplies in London, Bristol & Manchester

When it comes to packing your treasured and valuable belongings away for storage or removal, only the best packing supplies will do. Without sturdy, multi-layer corrugated cardboard boxes and other types of secure packaging, your items are at risk of being damaged in transit.

Fortunately, Vanguard Self Storage have a range of professional packing materials available at our facilities in London and Manchester to robustly protect your goods, including:

Vanguard Small Box (420 x 420 x 420mm)

Our boxes are the strongest in the industry; they are made from multi-layer corrugated card to provide a capacity of over 20kg. These small boxes are really easy to stack and are perfect for storing kitchen utensils and crockery. Made in Great Britain.

£3.50

Vanguard Medium Box (470 x 470 x 520mm)

Our boxes are the strongest in the industry; they are made from multi-layer corrugated card to provide a capacity of over 20kg. These medium boxes are perfect for almost anything around the house and can be re-used time and time again. Made in Great Britain.

£4.50

Vanguard Large Box (470 x 470 x 780mm)

Our boxes are the strongest in the industry; they are made from multi-layer corrugated card to provide a capacity of over 20kg. These large boxes are ideally suited to storing bulky items such as duvets, blankets and clothing. Made in Great Britain.

£5.50

Economy Cartons Small pack of 5 (330x330x457mm)

Like their bigger brothers these cartons are sold in packs of 5. They measure approx. 330mm x 330mm x 457mm and are mostly non-branded. These economy cartons are designed for one use only and are the smallest general packing carton in our range and at £12.50 for ten they are also the cheapest. (Not available in all stores.)

£12.50

Economy Cartons Medium pack of 5 (452x452x500mm)

These cartons are sold in packs of 5. They measure approx. 452 mm x 452mm x 500mm. They are printed with the location guide on the top flap but are otherwise mostly non-branded. Unlike the Vanguard range these economy cartons are designed for one use only and at only £15 for a pack of ten are an attractive solution for general packing. (Not available in all stores.)

£15.00

Document Carton (330x400x320mm)

These cartons are designed for office applications but are as equally useful around the home. These cartons are assembled without the need for tape. The lids are loose fit which makes these cartons ideal for multiple use. We have sold tens of thousands of these most versatile of cartons which measure 330mm x 400mm x 320mm, they are available individually at £4.80 with discounts available for bulk buys.

£4.80

Wardrobe Cartons (1240x560x450mm)

These cartons are sold individually, fitted with a suspended bar they are designed to take clothing on hangers. Measuring 1,240mm tall by 560mm by 460mm they will accommodate most items, including long dresses, and thus minimise the risk of creasing. They are supplied flat packed for ease of collection by car and can be assembled without the need for packing tape. At £10 each these wardrobe cartons are not hanging around.

£10.00

Bubble Wrap

Bubble wrap with small bubbles (10mm). Almost everything can be well packed in normal bubble wrap. Bubble wrap with smaller bubbles can take more weight than bubble wrap with larger bubbles.

£50p per metre

Large Bubble Wrap

Bubble wrap with extra-large bubbles (25mm). Most goods can be easily and well packed in small bubble wrap. However, the large bubbles are better for delicate shapes such as wine glasses. The large bubbles are also better for filling voids in half empty boxes.

£1.00 per metre

Packing Paper 1kg

This is a ream of general packing paper. The product has a craft feel that provides a better quality of cushioning compared with print standard paper. Don’t make the error of thinking newspaper will do just as good a job, newsprint can cause ink marks and staining which at best make items dirty and at worse stain forever. Don’t compromise on your packing, at just £8 per 1kg this is a must have packing product.

£8.00

Furniture Blankets pack of 5 ( 150mm x 200mm)

Good quality furniture blankets sold in a pack of five. These blankets, which measure approx. 1.5m x 2m, are used extensively by logistics companies and moving businesses to provide scratch protection for furniture in transit. They are also suitable to provide cushioning between items that might be stacked against each other in your storage room. They can be reused many times over and at just £17.50 for a pack of five they are excellent value.

£17.50

£6.00

Arm Chair and Sofa Covers

£12.00

Carpet Protector 10m

This is a new product to the Vanguard range. A plastic that provides good grip and with slightly adhesive backing can be applied to carpet, wood, ceramic or stone flooring.

I had a good experience with W1 Storage - I had a small unit for around 2 years and the conditions and access were always good. Jay handled the account well and when I gave notice, instructions were clear and I received my part month refund promptly. Recommended

I had a great experience with W1 self storage. The staff, especially Joao, were very helpful, professional, and timely with correspondence. The units (in the basement of a garage) were relatively clean, dry, and secure. I will use them again if needed.

It has been an excellent experience. People are very helpful, services are excellent, everything is straight forward. The conditions of the contract are easy and without hidden terms, the conditions of getting out of it, are even more simple. I wish I could always find '' a w1 ''' for my company 's needs.

Amazing place, amazing service, amazing location. Communication was easy and fast, all our questions were answered promptly. Alistair Allman was beyond helpful, welcoming, and cooperative. He walked us through the process, recommended certain services, explained procedures and was extremely patient with our many questions. We were looking for a storage service as we prepared my daughter for university and are very happy to have chosen them. We highly recommend their services. Thank you Alistair for all your help.

From our initial enquiry to actually put the items into storage Jay was brilliant. Confirming by telephone to make sure we were happy and then again to check our timings closer to the arrival date. Upon arrival the process with Jay was seamless and everything was explained in detail.

Super useful storage based in the HEART of London. It’s easy to access with a car, and they have 2 months at -50% when you start a contract with them. I didn’t use all the days I had paid for and got a refund and my deposit back smoothly, thanks Jay!!

I've had the pleasure of working with Jay for the last two months at Vanguard.. I couldn't ask for or imagine a better point of contact - he is consistently helpful, addressing all of my queries and requests immediately (and there have been MANY!), taking stress out of managing storage for our constantly-fluctuating needs.. Honestly, it is the most pain-free experience I have ever dealt with when it comes to working with vendors.. I highly recommend using Vanguard for ANY storage needs..

Amazing service and very friendly staff. They helped with my storage at a very short period of time, and really appreciate the flexibility they are offering to make sure I have a secured unit. Clean and safe storage in Central London, I do highly recommend it. The only issue I had was the height restriction in the carpark, it didn't allow Luton vans to drive inside and park right outside the storage, but speak to the staff there and they are happy to offer solutions. Make sure to mention this to the man & van or removal companies too so they have an idea. It worked out fine for me with the loading, just took a little longer.

Really nice experience here with Jay, I was not 100% sure of what size unit to go for but at no point did I feel I was being pressured to take a larger unit. Every point of the process was explained in detail clearly for me. thanks very much.

I had 2 storage units here for over a year and was really impressed with the efficiency, safety and accessibility. Joao was friendly and helped me a great deal moving in and moving out.

Was a super nice visit. The customer service was excellent - I was received by a young lady named Amal - she was a very lovely lad. I came in at the start of my visit somewhat stressed, but she answered all my queries, and even helped give me some personal advise (my boyfriend cheated on me countless times and he had the audacity to kick ME out). Anyway, I didn't have anywhere to stay and all this extra stuff with no idea where to store it, but coming here really saved my life. Will definitely visit again! And will definitely recommend to others!

Very well run and managed storage facility with excellent security in Central London. I have been a customer for a couple of years now and have always found the organisation and efficiency to be first class. I have primarily dealt with Joao for whom nothing is ever too much trouble. He is professional, courteous and always helpful. Would highly recommend this facility.

We have been so pleased with the service and quality of W1 Self Storage and the manager Joao. He is so helpful and has worked with us to upgrade our unit as needed over the last year or so. We would highly recommend using their facilities and services. They are friendly, polite and always willing to help in anyway they can. The facility is secure and very user friendly.
