Boxes Are Different Sizes for a Reason

There is a reason why boxes come in different sizes. It is important to use the right sized boxes to move and store your items safely. You don’t want to try to squeeze a large item into a small box or put too many small items in a larger box, if you want your items to stay in good shape. Use the proper sized box for your specific needs.

Small boxes are good options for packing breakable items. These sturdy boxes can hold glassware or antique collectibles safely. You can also use small boxes to pack up your book or movie collection. Many people use medium sized boxes to pack most of their items in. These boxes are great for packing up everything from kitchen items to your shoe collection. Larger boxes are good for packing up kitchen appliances, decorative shelves, and many other items. Extra-large boxes are perfect for packing bedding items like quilts, comforters, and more.

You want to avoid stacking a bunch of heavy items into any type of box because the bottom could give way and break your valuables without warning. If you overload your boxes, the bottoms of them could bust open leaving you with a mess of broken items to clean up. You could also hurt yourself trying to move boxes that are too heavy. Spread your items into a variety of boxes so you can move with confidence.

You want to make sure you pack your items carefully so you can move them without any worries. Sturdy boxes can keep your items protected until you unpack them. You may be interested in buying new boxes from your moving company so you know they will last longer than the ones you picked up at the side of a dumpster.
