Moving Boxes

  •  Small sized boxes are perfect for heavy, small and fragile items like small appliances, tools, books, dishes and collectibles.
  • Medium sized boxes are ideal for smaller household items, toys, collectibles, small household appliances and clothes.
  • Large sized boxes are great for large, lightweight items such as lamps, lampshades, stuffed animals, pillows, towels, linens, cookware, and clothing.
  • Extra-large boxes are perfect for lightweight, bulky items such as comforters, large pillows, towels and seasonal clothing.
  • Wardrobe boxes keep your clothes on their hangers. Move your shirts, suits, uniforms, coats and pants with ease.
  • Dish boxes separate, isolate and protect dishware, collectibles, and seasonal decorations.
  • Glass boxes feature cell dividers to separate, isolate and protect glassware, crystal, and stemware.

 

Tape You need tape to close the boxes!

You need to protect your items that you pack in boxes and items that are too big to fit in boxes.
