Protecting & wrapping furniture
The most efficient way to protect furniture is to use materials suited to the surface: smooth surfaces need protection from scratches, edges and corners need padding, and delicate pieces need extra impact protection. A useful rule: the fewer steps needed for each piece of furniture, the fewer opportunities for mistakes and wasted time – for private individuals and professional teams alike. Here is how the Delprete Imports elastic furniture cover works in practice.
Common packaging materials include boxes for smaller items, moving blankets for upholstery and edges, bubble wrap for delicate surfaces, stretch film as a traditional disposable solution, and elastic reusable covers as a modern, forward-looking alternative.

A plastic-free move can be achieved by replacing disposable materials such as stretch film with reusable alternatives. These include elastic covers, textile moving blankets, reusable moving boxes and, depending on the furniture, securing straps. This combination reduces waste, protects furniture reliably and enables sustainable furniture transport. Learn more about the elastic furniture cover as a solution without disposable plastic.
Elastic covers are the most modern and practical reusable alternative to stretch film. They adapt to the shape of the furniture, are easy to remove after transport and can be used again and again. This avoids disposable plastic waste and significantly reduces waste overall. See how professional removal companies use the elastic furniture cover.
Professional furniture transport protection is suitable wherever furniture is regularly moved or delivered – including removal companies, furniture carriers, joiners, manufacturers, warehouse logistics, exhibition and trade fair construction, antique dealers and restoration businesses. Particularly with frequent use, reusable solutions offer an efficient, sustainable and professional alternative to disposable materials. Visit the elastic furniture cover product page.
The right size depends on the circumference of the furniture: S: 120–240 cm (ideally around 180 cm), M: 160–320 cm (ideally around 240 cm), L: 200–400 cm (ideally around 300 cm). For the best fit, aim for the middle of each range. I would be happy to show you personally which size works best for your furniture.
This depends on the size of the business and the type of removals. For a small lorry, four sets are generally a good starting point. Depending on the job, the covers can be prioritised for particularly delicate or valuable furniture. I would be happy to advise you personally on a suitable quantity for your business.
The elastic furniture cover is suitable for many types of furniture, including wardrobes, chests of drawers, sideboards, tables, chairs, shelving and other furnishings. What matters is not the type of furniture, but whether its circumference falls within the appropriate size range.
