Standard Boxes
- 1.5 Cubic Foot Box – the smallest box that we sell, it’s often referred to as the book or record box; best used for small heavy objects like books, records, cans, jars of food, utensils, flatware, shoes, etc.
- 3 Cubic Foot Box – referred to as the lamp or lampshade box; frequently used interchangeably with the 1.5 cubic foot box.
- 4.5 Cubic Foot Box – as the box gets larger, use for lighter objects such as pillows, bedding and stuffed animals
- Picture or Mirror Box – a four-piece box that can come in large or small sizes; can be customized by telescoping in and out; use crumpled packing paper in the corners to add cushion and make sure to wrap your mirror or picture with bubble wrap before placing it in the box.
- Wardrobe Box – allows clothes to be transported on hangers; includes a metal bar along top of box to hang clothing.
- Dish Pack Box – also called a barrel, dish barrel or dish box; it’s the strongest box available; pack fragile, breakable items such as china; usually used for kitchen items.
Packing Supplies
- Packing Paper / Plain Newsprint – used to wrap everyday items to prevent scratching; when crunched up it can be used as cushioning.
- Bubble Wrap – plastic packing material made up of hundreds of tiny “air cushions” or bubbles used to over-wrap small, delicate items after they are wrapped in tissue; also helpful when wrapping larger fragile items such as lamps and pictures.
- Sealing Tape – plastic tape, 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) to 2 inches (5.08 cm) wide; best for packing, test to see if it ruins finish before taping up drawers and canisters.
- Permanent Marker – used to label boxes with contents and destination in new location; mark boxes “fragile” and “this side up” when appropriate.
- Re-sealable Plastic Bags – used for nuts and bolts as you disassemble items, tape bag to disassembled item.
Packing Tips
- Used Boxes – People sometimes try to pack their belongings in used boxes to save money. Beware. Produce boxes often become weakened from the moisture of transportation or product spoilage. Additionally, insects often nest in used boxes.
- Tape – Make sure to seal your boxes with packing tape. Duct tape doesn’t adhere well to corrugated cardboard. Boxes put together with duct tape will fall apart.
