Make Sure You Are Using The Right Box Size When Moving
When someone is moving for the first time, they may think that one moving box is as good as the next for any item. This is not true because using the wrong size box could cause a delicate item to break during the moving process. The best way to protect valuable items is to be sure to use the right box size when moving.
The smallest moving boxes are about one and a half cubic feet. These little boxes are the right box size when moving items like CDs or DVDs. They are also great for packing small kitchen items like spices or canned foods. They tend to be a bit sturdier than larger boxes so they are great for safely transporting small and delicate knickknacks.
The most common moving boxes are the medium sized boxes. This is the right box size when moving almost anything since they are not too large or too small. These boxes are typically used to pack items like clothes and towels as well as toys and books.
Large boxes are great for moving bulky and oddly shaped items from the home. This means that they can be used for larger toys, houseplants or even disassembled pieces of furniture. It is important to remember that this is not the right box size when moving smaller items, even though there is more than enough room for them. Putting small and delicate items in too large of a box can cause them to be tossed around and broken in transit.
Choosing the right box size when moving can make the difference between everything arriving safely in once piece and arriving broken to bits. Using the correct box will also make it a lot easier to organize everything because it will all fit as it is supposed to. Before beginning the packing process, estimate how many of each box will be needed and be prepared for a smooth, organized move.
