Moving boxes play an important role when moving home. Because you transport your belongings from your old home to your new four walls in them. To ensure that your belongings arrive at their new destination undamaged, you should pay attention to the following properties when choosing a box:
Handles or grips: Get boxes with handles or grips. Otherwise, the boxes may become difficult to handle during transport.
Stability: Make sure the moving boxes are sturdy and stable. For heavy items, use boxes made of double-wall cardboard instead of single-wall, with a reinforced bottom.
Size: Be careful not to use boxes that are too big. Because big boxes get very heavy very quickly. However, most adults can carry around 30 kilograms without any problems.
Uniform shape: So that you can stack the boxes well, you should get as many moving boxes as possible in the same size.
Labeling: To make it easy to keep an overview in the jungle of boxes, make sure you have ones that can be written on. You should therefore have boxes with text fields.
Tips for a "sustainable" move: You don't necessarily have to buy new moving boxes. Plastic rental boxes offer an environmentally friendly alternative to the ordinary cardboard box. You can rent such boxes for your move and then return them afterward. Used cardboard boxes that are in good condition can be used again. So keep an eye out among friends and acquaintances for used moving boxes, before buying new ones.
