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:

Bubble Wrap

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.
