SHOULD YOU SHRINK WRAP YOUR FURNITURE? HERE’S WHAT WE RECOMMEND

When it comes to moving house in Singapore, one of the biggest questions we often get from customers is:

👉 “Do I really need to shrink wrap my furniture?”

It’s a great question! Shrink wrapping might seem like an extra step (and extra cost), but it can make a huge difference in keeping your furniture safe during a move. Let’s break it down in a simple and practical way so you can decide if it’s worth it for your next move.

🤔 What is Shrink Wrapping?

Shrink wrapping uses a special plastic film that tightly seals around your furniture. Movers often use it to protect:

• Sofas and couches

• Mattresses

• Wardrobes

• Tables and chairs

• Delicate wooden or leather surfaces

Once wrapped, your furniture is shielded from scratches, dust, dirt, and even light rain (a big plus here in Singapore 🌧️).

✅ Benefits of Shrink Wrapping Your Furniture

Here’s why many homeowners choose to shrink wrap:

1. Protection Against Scratches & Dirt
   Moving means your furniture will pass through lifts, stairways, corridors, and lorry spaces. Shrink wrap gives an extra protective layer to prevent scratches and stains.

2. Keeps Items Clean & Hygienic
   Perfect for fabric sofas, mattresses, or cushions — no dust or grime during the move.

3. Weather Protection
   Singapore’s weather is unpredictable. A quick downpour while loading or unloading? Shrink wrap helps keep your furniture dry.

4. Peace of Mind
   You won’t need to stress about scuffs or marks on your favourite furniture pieces.

⚖️ When You Might Not Need Shrink Wrapping

Of course, not every single item requires shrink wrap. For example:

• Sturdy items like metal racks or plastic drawers usually don’t need it.

• Old furniture you plan to dispose of might not be worth wrapping.

• Short-distance moves where items won’t be exposed much may not need full wrapping.

Sometimes, basic protective blankets or bubble wrap are enough — especially for less delicate items.

💡 Our Recommendation

At the end of the day, it depends on your furniture and your priorities. If you’re moving expensive, delicate, or sentimental pieces, shrink wrapping is highly recommended.

But if you’re just moving a few sturdy items or planning to get rid of old furniture soon, you can probably skip it.

As professional movers in Singapore, our team will always advise you honestly. We’ll recommend shrink wrap only when it truly adds value to your move.
