Boxes Blouberg Sands

When moving to a new home, nothing is more crucial than having the right moving supplies on-hand. Of course, out of all the moving supplies needed, moving boxes are the most important. Fortunately, many kinds of moving boxes exist to make your life (and your move!) easier. From corrugated, cardboard boxes to large, wooden crates, there’s a moving box available to fit every item in your home. For a quick run-down on the different kinds of moving boxes you should purchase when moving to a new home, check out our comprehensive list below Boxes Blouberg Sands.

13 different kinds of moving boxes that every move needs ,

Boxes Blouberg Sands

  1. Small cardboard boxes

When ordering moving supplies, make sure to purchase plenty of small cardboard boxes. In fact, we recommend that the majority of your moving boxes be a small size. The reason? Smaller boxes are easier to load and carry when moving. They are also perfect for small, heavy items such as books, appliances, kitchenware, pantry items and more. These small boxes typically measure 12 to 14 inches long. 

  1. Medium cardboard boxes

Medium cardboard boxes are the most popular type of moving box. This size box is ideal for moving small to medium-size household items such as pots, pans, vases, picture frames, stuffed animals, toys, clothing, bed linens and more. These boxes are small enough to carry to the moving truck but large enough to handle a wide variety of household items. Most medium cardboard boxes typically measure 14 to 18 inches long. 

  1. Large cardboard boxes

If you’re moving to a small apartment, you’ll only need a handful of large cardboard boxes. It’s important to pack these boxes with large, lightweight items such as clothing, pillows, bedding, blankets, toilet paper, paper towels and more. If you over-pack a large cardboard box with an abundance of heavy items, then you’ll have trouble lifting it during the moving process. Large cardboard boxes typically measure 18 to 24 inches long. 

  1. Wardrobe boxes

Planning on moving hanging clothes? If the answer is yes, then you’ll most certainly need several wardrobe boxes to carry your dresses and suits. These boxes provide an excellent way to transport hanging clothes without wrinkling them along the way. Wardrobe boxes come with sturdy, metal hanging bars – making it easy to hang clothing inside.

  1. Telescope boxes

If you’re moving artwork, mirrors or or flat screen TVs, we recommend purchasing several telescope boxes to fit your items. These cardboard boxes come with a separate top and bottom piece that fit together to form one box. You simply slide the smaller piece into the larger one until the entire item is protected by the box. These boxes are ideal for preventing cracks and damage to fragile, flat household goods. 

  1. Flat panel TV boxes

For small to medium-size, flat-screen TVs, we recommend using a flat panel TV box. These cardboard boxes are ideal for holding both LED and plasma flat screens. Flat panel TV boxes are typically long, rectangular-shaped cardboard boxes. Each flat panel TV box should indicate “this side up” in order to protect your TV while in-transit.    

  1. Plastic bins

Air-tight, plastic bins are the way to go when it comes to packing seasonal clothing, electrical items, cords, fragile items and more. These bins are also perfect for anyone who plans to store belongings after the move. Given that they are clear, you’ll be able to find specific items more quickly when packing with plastic bins. The waterproof material also protects belongings from rain and inclement weather when moving. 

  1. Bankers boxes

Moving your office? From file folders and binders to pens and papers, your office supplies should be moved using bankers boxes. These cardboard boxes come with handles and lift-off lids for easy moving of all paper items. They are also stackable, making it easy to organize your office items before and after a move. 

  1. Dish and glassware boxes

Dish and glassware kits are the easiest and most efficient way to pack plates, wine glasses and other stemware pieces. These kits usually include one small to medium size cardboard box and a set of cardboard dividers that fit right inside the box. The dividers are designed to separate and protect fragile items while also maximizing space inside the box.

  1. Lamp boxes

Tall floor lamps can be tricky to move. Not only are floor lamps prone to breaking, but they’re also difficult to pack because of the large size and unique shape. Enter lamp boxes. These tall and narrow cardboard lamp boxes allow you to pack and ship a floor lamp in the most efficient way possible. Floor lamp boxes help ensure that your lamp base makes it to its new home safely and securely.

  1. Insulated foam containers

Need to move refrigerated and/or frozen items? In addition to a cooler, we recommend ordering several insulated foam containers to help carry the load. These foam containers are inserted inside a cardboard box and are covered with a foam lid. They are designed to keep items temperature-controlled while traveling. 

  1. Wooden crates

Plan to move large, valuable items such as artwork, sculptures or antiques? You may need a heavy-duty, wooden crate to ship your items to the new home. Wooden crate panels are typically made of thick plywood and are secured with steel clips. The crate also comes with a removable panel for loading and unloading. 

  1. Mattress Protectors

In many cases, a mattress bag simply doesn’t cut it when it comes to properly protecting your all-important bed accessory. If your mattress is going to be loaded into a moving truck and/or into storage for a long period of time, we highly recommend investing in a quality mattress box. These cardboard boxes help mattresses to stay in tip-top condition while in-transit.
