Using Moving Boxes vs Bags Benefits
Using boxes instead of bags for moving is better because boxes keep things safe and prevent them from breaking. They are easier to stack, making the move smoother. Also, you can write on boxes to know what’s inside, so it’s easier to find stuff when you unpack.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many boxes would I need?
Calculating the number of packing boxes for a move can be tricky if you lack experience. It’s easy to underestimate how many items need packing, especially those hidden in cupboards and cabinets. Here’s a rough estimate of the number of packing boxes you’ll need based on our experience:
- 1 bedrooms property – 20-30 boxes
- 2 bedrooms property – 40-60 boxes
- 3 bedrooms property – 70-100 boxes
What size of boxes I will need?
Movivan Removals offer 3 sizes of boxes. We sell large removal boxes with sizes 18x18x18 inches which are suitable for light stuff like clothes, pillows, and linen. The medium size packing boxes have 18x12x12 size. They are suitable for packing books and fragile items from the kitchen. The third size packing box is called the wardrobe box. We use them to pack hanging clothes to avoid folding them. They are suitable for suits, coats, shirts, and skirts.
What Is A Wardrobe Box?
A wardrobe box is a specialized moving box designed specifically for transporting hanging clothes. It typically features a tall, sturdy structure with a metal bar across the top to hang garments securely. These boxes help prevent clothes from wrinkling or getting damaged during the moving process.
What is a ”Linen box”?
Movers and moving companies may refer to linen boxes as “linen cartons” or simply “linens.” When packing for a move, these specialized boxes are often used to pack and protect linens, bedding, and other similar items. They are typically designed to be sturdy and provide adequate protection for linens during the moving process. They can be mainly used for packing clothes, bedding and sheets, pillows, lamp shades, light plastic items, toys and other light household items.
What is a ”Book box”?
A book box, sometimes called a “book carton” or “small box,” is a type of packing box specifically designed for transporting books and other heavy or dense items when moving house. These boxes are typically smaller and sturdier than standard moving boxes, making them ideal for holding books, magazines, DVDs, and similar items.
Book boxes are mainly used for packing and moving heavy objects because they are more manageable in size and weight. Since books can become extremely heavy when packed together, using smaller, specialized boxes helps prevent overloading and makes it easier for movers to carry and transport them safely. These boxes also help protect the books from damage during the move, ensuring that they remain in good condition. Additionally, the compact size of book boxes allows for efficient packing and stacking in moving trucks, maximizing space utilization during the move.
