How To Pick the Right Boxes for Moving or Shipping

What are some questions to ask yourself before choosing boxes for your shipping or moving needs?

How heavy are the items?

The size and weight of the items will dictate the type of box you need. You want to find a balance between a box that is sturdy enough to support your property, but not too heavy that it becomes a nuisance to transport. Shipping boxes that are heavy and overpacked can be costly in more ways than one.

What type of items will I be packing?

Fragile items like dishes, glasses, and art require a different type of box than clothing or books. It is best to choose double-walled boxes to secure delicate items or purchase dividers to keep them from jostling inside the box. Packing boxes of fragile items is an art!

Will they be exposed?

Another consideration that is easy to overlook is whether the boxes will need to withstand inclement weather or other harsh conditions. For overseas shipping or extended storage, it is better to choose boxes that are made to resist water, air, dust, and dirt.
