How Many Moving Boxes Do I Need?

Posted by jp in moving boxes, moving tips, wardrobe boxes | No Comments

moving boxesHaving enough moving boxes is important for a move to become successful; one trick is to buy more boxes than you think you need since most of the time you’d really need more than you think. And it is better to end up having extra boxes than running out of them, you can always sell extra boxes at Ebay or give it away at Craigslist. Bottom line is, the more boxes the better.

Be realistic though and estimate your needs intelligently. If you’re moving from a 1 bedroom flat, 20 moving boxes would be too much unless you’re planning to pack the flat itself.

One of the good things to do is to check out moving kits from online stores who specialize in selling moving boxes, they have a suggested number of boxes (in different sizes) needed for moving depending on the number of rooms in your house.  Here are some sample moving kits that you will find online.

1 Room Moving Kit

10 Medium Boxes (18×14x12)
5 large boxes (20×20x15)
55 yards of moving tape
40′ Bubble wrap
1 Box Marker

2 Room Moving Kit

20 Medium Boxes (18×14x12)
10 Large Boxes (20×20x15)
110 Yards of moving tape
80′ Bubble Wrap
2 Box Markers

3 Room Moving Kit

30 Medium Boxes (18×14x12)
15 Large Boxes (20×20x15)
165 yards of moving tape
120′ Bubble Wrap
3 Box Marker

The list goes on. There are moving kits for up to 10 rooms and you can also purchase boxes separately if you think that you still need more. And notice that the kits also contain other essential moving supplies needed like a moving tape, bubble wrap, and marker. These are things that will help you organize your packing and make unpacking easy as well.

Another thing is to make sure that you use the boxes appropriately to keep your things from getting damaged and to avoid accidents. Ask for packing tips upon purchasing the moving boxes as these companies know the capacity and strength of their boxes and are generally experienced in moving as well.

Wardrobe Boxes – What Are Your Other Options?

Wardrobe Boxes

You may be the type of person who treats every new or speciality item with scepticism, preferring instead to use the equipment or tools you already have, even if they are not exactly suited for the task at hand.  No doubt some are prone to react this way to wardrobe boxes, given their unconventional shape and obvious specialization to a specific aspect of moving.  Let’s take a moment to consider your other options for moving a large quantity of clothing, specifically those items hanging in your closet.

Clothing has traditionally been one of the most cumbersome and space-consuming categories of items to move from one house to another.  It is also often overlooked when it comes to planning a move or lining up the necessary materials for a smooth and efficient move.  Often, hanging clothes are taken off the hanger, folded up, and packed according to type of season of clothing.  While this is a very organized approach, it can also quickly fill up the moving boxes you have at your disposal.  Your various clothing items can also shift quite a bit during your move, leaving you with a bit of a wrinkled mess when you open your boxes.

Another option is to pack up your moving boxes, load them into your vehicle or moving truck, then simply lay your hanging clothes on top.  This eliminates the need for extra boxes, while also preventing creasing and wrinkling during your move.  However, having attempted to employ this option a few times in the past, I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that these clothes will slide off your boxes at some point during your drive, once again leaving you with a wrinkled pile to sort through, while also picking up any dirt or grime from the floor of your moving truck.  Hanging them in your vehicle isn’t a real option either, since most cars only have room for a few hangers on those handy little plastic hooks.

Truthfully, the only wardrobe boxes anyone needs to be sceptical of are those that are not strong enough or large enough to suit your needs.  Wardrobe boxes that test stronger than the moving box industry standard, include heavy duty metal hanger bars, and are large enough to accomodate your needs are well worth the very affordable price you can find them for.  Utilizing a few wardrobe boxes can save you not only frustration on your arrival at your new home, but it can also save you time and stress during your move.

Do I Really Need Wardrobe Boxes for My Next Move?

Wardrobe Boxes

These days, it seems like there are speciality products for every little activity or aspect of daily life.  Most of us either have no need for or cannot afford these products.  It may seem the same way with moving boxes.  Many retailers offer a wide variety of speciality moving boxes that only prompt the typical customer to imagine other ways of moving their items.  Believe it or not, wardrobe boxes do not fall into this category for the average mover.

A hastily planned or executed move can be the downfall of your moving day, adding unnecessary stress or frustration to your first day in your new house or apartment.  Speaking as someone who once transported his clothes in nothing but black garbage bags, I can tell you that having the correct moving box for a specific purpose is no different than finding the most useful tool to fix any other problem.  Wardrobe boxes are certainly the most effective tool for transporting the hanging clothing or outfits from your closet.  The strength, convenience, and long-term durability that these boxes offer is enough to wipe away your moving day stress and allow you to happily greet your new home.

Good wardrobe boxes test stronger than the industry standard, include heavy duty metal hanging bars, and have the durability to offer long-term storage of seasonal outfits.  While there are likely several retailers out there who offer wardrobe boxes that do no meet these standards, locating a trusted retailer that does offer such strong and convenient wardrobe boxes can save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration during your next big move.

Wardrobe boxes

We all know one.  That friend or relative that insists on getting things done ahead of time.  Or maybe you’re the pre-planner everyone knows.  For these types of people, wardrobe boxes are a dream come true.  These boxes are not only large, sturdy portable closets, they can also store seasonal outfits for long periods of time without any need for unpacking.  But, for those of us with extended forsight, they can save you a lot of last-minute anxiety surrounding your upcoming move.

It’s no secret that the transition from you current house or apartment to your new place can involve some tricky timing.  A lot of times, you are expected to transfer your belongings in a single day.  This approach seems to assume that you have all your boxes packed and waiting far in advance.  Unfortunately, this approach can be far from practical when it comes to items you need for your day-to-day life.  This includes your clothing, which also happen to be some of the most surprisingly cumbersome and time-consuming items to pack.

Fortunately, wardrobe boxes are able to easily accomodate long-term storage of several outfits.  They are also designed for easy access during packing and unpacking.  This allows you the freedom to pack your wardrobe boxes far in advance, while not sacrificing the availability of your clothes.
