Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right box for your moving needs:

Small Boxes

Smaller than average-sized packing boxes, commonly referred to as book boxes for moving, is about 16 inches wide by 12 inches long with a depth of 12 inches. These small boxes may look delicate, but they can hold weight – up to 60 lbs. This means they're perfect for packaging heavier items that are on the smaller side.
These are perfect for heavier items like books, small appliances, and electronics.

Medium Boxes

The most popular moving box is the medium box, which measures between 2 and 4 cubic feet. Dishes, glasses, pots and pans, packed meals, and storage containers from the kitchen all fit well. Toys, towels, and home decorations from throughout the house are just as welcome in them. Important papers, printer paper extra ink, and even plants may be easily transported in medium boxes when you're moving an office at home.

Large Boxes

Larger boxes are of 5.0 cubic feet and above. They're best suited for blankets, comforters, sheets, pillows, bath towels, and small carpets with a capacity of more than 5.0 cubic feet. Home décor, toys, and sports equipment up to about 150 pounds in weight can be stored in them as long as they aren't too heavy and you fill them with void fill to provide cushioning and balance.

Extra-Large Boxes

Ideal for large and tall items, these boxes make extra space a breeze. Extra-large sized and easily stackable, they're perfect for transportation or storage - Plus, they're reusable!
The extra large box pack comes flat packed and can be assembled by using strong packing tape from our packing tapes section.

Wardrobe Boxes

A wardrobe box allows you to move your clothes without taking them off the hangers. This box has a built-in metal rod that extends the length of the box, so you can hang your clothes inside and keep them wrinkle-free.

Dish Packs

A dish pack is a type of box that is specifically designed for dishes and glassware. These boxes have dividers to keep your dishes safe and secure during the move.
Dish packs are also great for other breakable items such as vases, stemware, and figurines.

Mirror/Picture Boxes
