Packing Materials in Toronto
Before you begin packing for any move, invest in good-quality materials so your items stay safe during transport. If you require packing materials in Toronto and the GTA, Francis Movers supplies everything at affordable wholesale prices. We stock durable cardboard boxes, protective wraps, and sealing products designed for real-world moving conditions.
We also offer convenient moving packages perfect for one- or two-bedroom apartments. These bundles simplify ordering while still allowing you to purchase individual items separately if your needs are more specific. Delivery of your chosen supplies is available for a flat $20 fee when booked alongside your move.
Recent Canadian housing data shows that over one-third of households moved within a recent five-year period. Proper supplies and planning help turn a common life event into a manageable experience rather than a source of worry.
Packing Supplies in Toronto at Wholesale Prices
Our professional team provides a wide range of packing supplies in Toronto at wholesale prices.
You receive sturdy, reliable cardboard boxes and protective materials that perform well whether your items travel across the city or further with long distance movers Toronto.
Buying items separately gives you full control over quantities and types. This approach works especially well for long distance moving GTA or cross country moves, where belongings may experience more handling, stacking, and vibration than a short local trip. Below we detail the key supplies we recommend and stock.
Wardrobe boxes (L x W x H) (3' x 3' x 4.5')
Wardrobe boxes measure approximately 3 ft x 3 ft x 4.5 ft and include a built-in hanging bar. They are perfect for suits, dresses, coats, and other garments that wrinkle or crease easily. Clothes stay on hangers, arrive ready to wear, and avoid the crushing that can occur in standard boxes during extended transit
These boxes are especially valuable for long distance moving Toronto or cross country moves, where items spend more time in a truck and may shift. One or two boxes per person usually suffice, depending on closet size. New wardrobe boxes are $30 each. Gently used wardrobe boxes in excellent condition are available for $20 each when in stock.Regular packing boxes (2.25' x 1.5' x 2')
Our regular packing boxes measure approximately 2.25 ft × 1.5 ft × 2 ft. These versatile boxes are ideal for a wide variety of household goods including books, kitchen items, linens, decor, and other non-fragile belongings. They offer excellent capacity while remaining easy to lift, carry, and stack on moving day.
When preparing for long distance moving Toronto or cross country moves, regular boxes perform reliably when paired with proper internal cushioning such as newsprint or bubble wrap for any delicate contents. They are an economical choice that lets you customize your packing list precisely to your inventory. Priced at just $2.00 each, you can order the exact quantity needed without overbuying or running short.
Heavy duty packing boxes (2' x 1.25' x 1.5')
Heavy-duty packing boxes measure approximately 2 ft × 1.25 ft × 1.5 ft and feature reinforced construction for superior strength. They provide optimal protection for denser or more valuable items such as tools, small appliances, files, or heavily packed boxes of books. The added durability resists crushing and helps maintain box shape even when fully loaded.
These boxes are especially recommended for long distance moving GTA or cross country moves, where boxes are often stacked high in the truck and experience more vibration and handling. Their strength allows safer stacking and can help you fit more items securely in each box without collapse. Many Toronto customers choose heavy-duty boxes for peace of mind on longer hauls. Available for $2.00 each, they represent a smart, low-cost upgrade for any move involving heavier or fragile contents.
Packing tape
Strong, high-quality packing tape is one of the most important supplies for any move. It keeps every box securely closed from the moment you seal it until it reaches your new home. Our tape offers excellent adhesion that withstands temperature changes, stacking pressure, and the movement common during long distance moving Toronto or cross country moves.
Use it on all seams, top, bottom, and sides for maximum strength. A single roll goes a long way, but we recommend purchasing extra so you never run out mid-project. A convenient set of six rolls is priced at just $15.00. Buying tape separately lets you get exactly the quantity you need for your specific number of boxes.
Bubble Wrap
Bubble wrap provides superior cushioning and shock absorption for delicate belongings such as glassware, electronics, picture frames, and collectibles. The air-filled bubbles create a protective barrier that prevents items from shifting or breaking inside boxes, which is especially valuable during long distance moving GTA or cross country moves where vibration and multiple handlings are more common.
Wrap fragile items individually, then add extra layers on the bottom and top of each box. Bubble wrap is sold by the roll or sheet so you can purchase precisely the amount required for your inventory. Pricing varies by width and quantity
Unprinted newsprint
Unprinted newsprint (also called packing paper) is the clean, ink-free alternative to newspaper for wrapping fragile and breakable items. It protects surfaces from scratches and dust without the risk of ink transfer that can stain dishes, glassware, or clothing. A 25-pound bundle typically contains 500–600 sheets and is priced at $30.00.
This versatile paper is ideal for wrapping plates, cups, vases, and other delicate household goods. For long distance moving Toronto, many customers layer newsprint with bubble wrap for extra protection. Because it is sold by the bundle, you can buy exactly what you need and avoid waste. It is also recyclable, making it an environmentally considerate choice.
Additional Supplies for Complete Protection
Many customers also add mattress and box-spring covers, furniture pads or moving blankets, stretch wrap, picture/mirror boxes, and permanent markers with labels.
These items complete your kit and are especially helpful for long distance moving Toronto, where dust, moisture, and multiple handlings are more likely. Pricing for these specialty items is available upon request and can be added to any order.

Why Quality Packing Supplies Matter for Long Distance Moving Toronto
Long distance moves involve more time in transit, multiple loadings, and greater exposure to temperature changes and road conditions than local moves. Industry insights show that inadequate packing contributes to a notable share of damage claims. Using professional-grade supplies from Francis Movers significantly reduces this risk.
Sturdy boxes, proper cushioning, and secure sealing keep your belongings safe whether you are moving within the GTA or across provinces. Buying items separately lets you customize protection to your exact inventory while staying within budget.
