Box Sizes
Small Cardboard Box
Dimensions: 12 - 14 inches long, or 1.5 cubic feet
Best for: Cans, jars, books, silverware, and other small-size, high-volume stuff
Out of all the boxes you’ll need, you’ll probably need the most small cardboard boxes. These are a pretty useful option for all those small items you have a lot of, whether it’s books, silverware, or canned food.
Medium Cardboard Box
Dimensions: 14 - 18 inches long, or 3 cubic feet
Best for: 80% of your possessions. Pots, pans, clothing, toys, bed linens, lamps and more.
Medium cardboard boxes are the do-it-all solution for your packing needs. Because of their balance between size and weight, they’re a versatile solution for the biggest range of home goods.
Large Cardboard Box
Dimensions: 18 - 24 inches long, or 4.5 cubic feet
Best for: Large, light objects. Pillows, comforters, stuffed animals, and poofy blankets.
Large cardboard boxes are great for lightweight, yet large items. Big ol’ stuffed animals, pillows, and puffy duvets. Don’t load these up with big, heavy items - that’s a rookie mistake, and it’ll split the bottom.
Wardrobe Boxes
Dimensions: 30 - 40 inches tall, 24” x 24” footprint
Best for: Clothes.
Wardrobe boxes come with an internal hanging rod to keep your suits and dresses wrinkle-free. They range in height, so make sure you get one that’s tall enough to keep your clothes hanging straight.
TV Boxes
Dimensions: Varies depending on TV size
Best for: Pianos. Just kidding. These are for TVs.
As the name suggests, TV boxes are for your TVs and/or computer monitors. TV boxes come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Measure your screen diagonally from corner to corner to get a rough idea of what size you need.
Telescoping Boxes
Dimensions: Varies, can be almost twice as long as each half
Best for: Long, flat items that don’t fit easily into pre-sized boxes.
These boxes come in two halves: One is slightly larger and fits over the edges of the other. This allows you to adjust the size as needed. Telescoping boxes are great for mirrors and other items that are a little oddly-sized.
Dish and Glassware Boxes
Dimensions: 18 inches long, or about 5 cubic feet
Best for: Plates, bowls, glasses, mugs, and other small, fragile items.
Dish and glassware boxes are a must. They usually come with an internal cardboard support structure that divides the box into smaller compartments. Load your fragile bowls, plates, and glasses up, and flood the box with packing peanuts.
Mattress Boxes
Dimensions: Varies depending on mattress size
Best for: Mattresses of all shapes and sizes. Box springs, too.
Mattress bags are great for short moves, but if you think you’ll need a bit of extra time to set up that second bedroom, we recommend using a mattress box to prevent your mattress from getting damaged or bent out of shape.
Wooden Crates
Dimensions: Varies depending on contents
Best for: Large and fragile items, like artwork.
Wooden crates may seem old school, but they’re the best option for large and fragile belongings. They provide an extra degree of protection and stability, and your movers may even build the whole crate around the item in question.
Specialty Crating
Dimensions: Varies depending on contents
Best for: Anything that won’t fit in a regular-sized, regular-shaped box.
We’ve had customers with everything from pianos to vintage motorcycles. These obviously don’t fit in a regular-sized (or shaped) box or crate. Instead, your movers may partially disassemble the bits and pieces, or build a custom-shaped box around the item.
