How to spot and prepare boxes for house moving

Choosing the right cardboard packing boxes for your house move can be a challenge. There are lots to choose from here online with Packing Solution, and our range is one of the largest around. If it is simply boxes that you are after, and you know the precise quantity that you require, just look at the boxes heading at the top menu, and this gives you the size measurements. Add the quantity that you need to your shopping cart. If you are a little less certain, why not take a look at our pre made moving packs, which are designed for specific sized house moves and they are discounted too, so they can be a good option.


Preparing cardboard boxes for packing- the methods:

  • All boxes will arrive flat packed, ready for you to assemble as you choose. This way, they do not take up too much room, and they are easier to deliver in the postal service.
  • You could take the method of putting together one box at a time as you decide what you are going to put in them in each room. This will take up only a small amount of room which can be good, but it can be time consuming.
  • Alternatively you could put all of the boxes together with tape at the beginning, in a kind of production line, and then put things in them as you go. This can be quick, but you need plenty of space to make this work.
  • You need to ensure that you can carry the boxes, to make the job of moving easier, so make sure you don’t get carried away and put too many things in them at a time.

Cardboard house moving boxes will be brown in colour, so that you can write on them using a marker pen to say what is inside of each box before you seal them up with tape. This will make the unpacking process that bit easier for you, and you can put each box in the room that it will end up in eventually as soon as you unload the lorry at the other end. Most reputable removal companies will do the packing part for you, so it will just be a case of directing them to say what goes in where. So it might be easier to write on each box as you put them together to make directions clear for the removal man. Moving boxes are for sale here online at Packing Solution, we are an established retailer of packaging in the UK, and our friendly team can help you with any queries that you may have, so please give us a call.
