packing supplies

Moving day essentials

Packing supplies are materials used to prepare items for shipping or storage: boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, labels.

The term appears most often in moving and e-commerce contexts: I need to pick up some packing supplies before we move.

Office supply stores and shipping companies sell packing supplies as a category.
