Buying the right types and quantity of boxes and packaging for moving house can be a tricky decision. Boxes will need to be the right size to enable you to move home successfully with as little stress and as few problems as possible. Here we will discuss the main benefits of small house moving boxes while relocating.
The benefits of small moving boxes
- Small cardboard boxes are easy to carry when full, because they won’t become too heavy to carry. As the small size does not allow you to fill them with too many objects at once, or any larger objects, you know that these boxes are not going to be too heavy. This means that anyone can carry them and anyone can help you to move house. If you use large boxes and they are very heavy, sometimes you may need more than one person to lift and transport them and only the strongest people can help you move.
- Small moving boxes can easily fit through door frames out of your home and into the removal lorry. This also makes the house move a bit easier to do as there is less manoeuvring to do. The moving day will go a little bit quicker and easier.
- Small cardboard boxes are generally cheaper to buy than larger boxes, so you can save money by purchasing small sized boxes for moving. However, you will need more of them to transport your things, so you need to weigh up the costs. Sometimes larger objects do not need to go into boxes, so they can be transported separately.
- Small cardboard boxes are very efficient for packing into a removal lorry and stacking. You can fit them into every last gap in the lorry, ensuring you can fit the maximum amount into each load which will save you trips back and forth.
- Small sized boxes are generally stronger than larger boxes because the cardboard walls are a bit smaller and shorter. This means they will protect your objects inside of them, it also means they won’t break when full. It also means they are great for stacking in a lorry without crumbling under the pressure of other objects on top.
- If you order small moving boxes online a few weeks before your moving day, they won’t take up much room in your house while being stored. This allows you to give yourself plenty of time to pack up your belongings even if you don’t have much room in your house or flat.
- Small sized boxes require less tape to secure them shut, making the whole packing process that little bit faster and easier.
- Small sized boxes can easily fit onto a sack truck. These will make your house move very easy, as they enable you to fit several small boxes onto them and you can wheel the boxes out to the removal lorry without having to carry them. This can be easier on your body and your back.
- Small cardboard moving boxes can be transported in a lorry, van or even car, so they are more versatile than larger sized boxes. They can therefore be used for moving to or from university, as well as small flats using a car, along with large four bedroom house moves involving both vans and Lorries. So if you are moving house yourself, this can often be the best and easiest type of box to use.
