A Guide To Moving Boxes & Their Uses

• The standard “Small Box,” also known as a “Book Box” or “Record Box,” is the ideal box for smaller, heavier items.
• As the name suggests, it is the standard box for packing books, LP records, and even documents (if a File Box is unavailable to you).
• This box is used to pack heavier items, because of its size. A larger box filled with books, for example, will likely be too heavy to lift and manage.

• The Medium Box is a nearly-square box, ideal for all-purpose use and nearly anything you can think of.
• It is an excellent choice for various kitchen appliances, electronics, toys, and any other assortment of not-too-heavy items.

• The Large Box has the same circumference as the Medium Box (both are 18”L x 18” W), but is 8in taller than its shorter counterpart.
• Due to its height, clothes fit perfectly when folded and stacked into a Large Box.
• Additionally, oddly long items (for example a child’s toy truck) can be stood up in the Large Box.

• There are 2 kinds of Extra Large Boxes, one is a square box, while the other is a rectangle.
• They are essentially the same size, but a different shape. The square box is thicker and the rectangular one is longer/taller.
• It is important to remember that such a large box should not be filled with heavy items.
• These boxes are ideal for bedding, comforters, pillows, jackets, and any other large, light items.

• There are a variety of wardrobe boxes for you to choose from, and while they differ in shape in size, they all serve the same purpose: packing clothes that you do not wish to fold. Some clothes (dresses, suits, etc…) need to remain straight/upright.
• There are 2 standard upright wardrobe boxes, regular and large. These are the standard wardrobe boxes for adult clothes. Both come with a metal bar to hang clothes from. These boxes are double-walled for extra heavy-duty protection.
• There are 2 “Shorty” wardrobe boxes, mainly for children’s clothing. They come in a regular and large size, and each comes with a metal bar for hanging your clothing.
• Additionally, there is a Flat-Laydown Wardrobe Box, which, as the name implies, lays flat and the clothes are laid down inside the box. This box does not have a bar.

• This box is similar to the standard Large Box in shape, however it is 4 inches taller and is double-walled for extra protection for your dishes.
• Additionally, this box is designed to be used with a Cell-Kit, which is a collection of cardboard sheets which are inserted into the box systematically to form compartments for various dishes.
• Experts recommend adding a bit of bubble paper or blank newsprint around each dish for additional protection.
• This box may also be used without the Cell-Kit as a regular, heavy duty box that is slightly larger than the standard Large Box, but not quite as cumbersome as the Extra Large Boxes.
