Moving Boxes (17 items found)

Moving boxes are a simple and economical way of organizing and protecting your possessions, either for moving home or putting your still wanted but rarely used items into safe storage. The extensive range here at Ace includes sturdy corrugated boxes made from cardboard. They blend ease of use, value, and durability to help your packing and relocation go more smoothly.

What to Look for in Quality Cardboard Moving Boxes

Corrugated cardboard boxes are an ideal choice for packing, moving and storage, made from a lightweight but sturdy material that's also stackable to make the most of your space. They're also a convenient choice, as they're supplied in flattened form for compact storage when not in use before unfolding easily into shape for packing.

There are several other key points to consider when choosing your moving boxes, including:

• Recycled materials: Many cardboard moving boxes are made from fully recycled material, making them kinder to the environment as well as your possessions
• Sturdy design: A high edge crush test (ECT) figure of 32 lbs or more will ensure sturdiness in transit for the highest levels of protection

Additionally, compliance with postal regulations is important if you plan on sending anything through a delivery service.

Tips for Packing Your Moving Boxes

Packing a moving box with care not only reduces the number of boxes you need to use but also provides more protection for its contents. For the best results, follow these six simple tips. 

1. Sort your items by size and weight so you can put the largest and heaviest contents in the bottom of the boxes, with smaller items lying on top. 
2. Group the items by which room or storage area they're destined for to make unpacking easier. 
3. Wrap more fragile items in packaging material for extra protection, using brightly colored paper for small items to ensure they're not overlooked during unpacking. 
4. Fill the moving boxes as completely as possible for more stability without exceeding their maximum weight capacity. 
5. Fill up any remaining gaps with bubble wrap to help the contents stay in place. 
6. Don't forget to clearly label each box with its contents!
