We always recommend strong double walled cardboard boxes for moving house, as they can hold heavy weights inside of them without breaking and they will protect the objects you put into them. They are great for stacking in a removal lorry too. Large sized boxes can hold more objects, which will save you trips back and forth.

Cardboard boxes are easy to use, simply fold the four flaps at either end of the box, fill the box with your objects and then secure it shut with strong packing tape. You can also use bubble wrap for protection.

Generally speaking, you will need ten large sized boxes per room of the house on average. This can vary depending on how cluttered your house is or how large your house is. We sell moving packs which give you an idea of how many boxes you are likely to need, based on the number of bedrooms in your house.

We recommend 15 boxes for a 2 bed house, 25 boxes for a 3 bedroom house and 40 boxes for a 4 bedroom house move.

We sell small, medium, large and extra large sized boxes, as well as specialist moving boxes such as wardrobe boxes which are extra tall and wide, TV boxes which are extra wide and thin, and bike boxes which are also very large.

If you buy our strong double walled cardboard boxes, they are very strong and durable heavy duty boxes, so you won’t need any additional layers of cardboard. They are plenty strong enough for moving house.

You can use bubble wrap, or packing tissue paper, or packing paper for protection during moving. Bubble wrap is always the best for everyday items, and tissue paper is great for delicate objects such as china and glass.

You should always write on the outside of the boxes to say which room of the house that the boxes belong. For example, kitchen, living room etc. This will make unpacking much easier in your new home. You can also write on the boxes to say which ones contain fragile items.

Our strong double walled boxes can hold a very heavy weight of up to 35kg inside of them and anything lower. Our single walled boxes are only suitable for lighter objects.

Always watch out for paper cuts when using cardboard boxes, be careful with them. Always lift boxes with your knees bent and back straight, so you don’t damage your back. Never lift boxes that are too heavy, always get help. Don’t stack boxes too high, in case they fall.

If you require custom sized boxes please send us an email and we can quote you for this. It is more expensive to produce custom sized boxes, so if you can make-do with our in-stock range of boxes shown online then they are going to be much cheaper.

After you have moved house, you can store the boxes until you need to use them again in future very easily. You should flat pack the boxes and you can easily store them in the garage or attic without them taking up too much space. They can be used for moving, storage or shipping. Alternatively, pass them onto a friend or local business, or recycle them.

Yes our boxes are 100% recyclable so you can leave a small quantity in your normal collection recycling bin, or if you have a lot of boxes, take them to your local recycling centre.
