Polythene Furniture Bags

Polythene furniture bags are used by upholsterers and furniture manufacturers to protect furniture from dust and damage during storage and transit. Manufactured from light or heavy duty polythene, these easy-to-use covers provide an inexpensive way to protect what can be expensive items. They’re also easy to store when not needed.

Our polythene furniture bags are specifically designed to cover items including:

  • Sofas and armchairs
  • Single chairs
  • Mattresses
  • Other suitable furniture items

Polythene furniture covers are ideal when moving home or decorating, as well as for trade use. With a range of sizes available, customers can choose a furniture bag suited to the item they need to cover.

Padded Furniture Protection

For furniture that needs greater protection, Kite also offers padded furniture bags and rolls of cushioned furniture guard. Jiffy furniture protection is a reusable protective wrap popular within the removal, haulage and antique industries, helping prevent scrapes, scuffs and gouges during transportation.

Bubble blanket furniture bags are recommended when moving furniture over longer distances or entrusting items to a third-party carrier. These padded bags are durable and hard wearing, making them suitable for storage and occasions where multi-trip packaging is required.

When Is Heavy Duty Furniture Protection Useful?

Heavy duty or padded furniture protection can be useful when items require greater protection than a light polythene cover provides. For example, padded furniture bags are suited to long-distance moving, storage and repeat trips, while cushioned furniture guard can help protect furniture against scrapes, scuffs and gouges during handling and transportation.

Washing Machine Bags

Washing machines also need protection from damage while being moved or stored. Bubble washing machine covers provide a fast and simple way to protect these appliances during storage or transit. Sold individually, they’re a practical option for people moving home who need extra protection for their washing machine.

For larger users, including removal firms, delivery businesses and transport companies, reusable washing machine bags can become a useful part of a regular packing kit. Their hard-wearing design means they can be used again when protection is needed for future moves.
