Planning a move? Whether you're relocating across town or to a new city, having the right cardboard boxes can make all the difference. At Storage & Removal Boxes, we provide a wide selection of high-quality removal boxes suitable for every room in your home. From books to bedding, our UK-approved double-wall boxes offer the strength, durability, and reliability you need for a stress-free move.
Why Double-Wall Cardboard Boxes Are the Best for House Moves
Double-wall cardboard boxes are built with two layers of corrugated board, offering extra protection against crushing, tearing, and impacts. Unlike single-wall boxes, these are perfect for stacking and transporting heavier household items such as electronics, dishes, and small furniture pieces.
- Greater strength: Prevents damage to contents during loading or stacking.
- Reusable: Ideal for long-term storage or future moves.
- Cost-effective: Avoid breakages and re-purchasing weak boxes.
What Size Cardboard Box Do You Need?
Choosing the right size is just as important as choosing the right quality. Use this guide to select the ideal boxes for different rooms and item types:
| Box Size | Suggested Use |
|---|---|
| Small Boxes 12" × 12" × 12" | Books, tools, canned goods |
| Medium Boxes 18" × 18" × 20" | Kitchenware, shoes, electronics |
| Large Boxes 24" × 18" × 18" | Bedding, cushions, coats |
As a general rule: don’t buy a box wider than your shoulders. Oversized boxes are awkward to carry and can lead to fatigue or even injury. Stick to medium removal boxes for the best balance between size and manageability.
Packing Tips for Moving Home
- Start early and pack one room at a time.
- Label each box with the room and a short description of contents.
- Use packing paper or bubble wrap for fragile items.
- Reinforce the base of each box with heavy-duty tape.
- Stack heavier boxes on the bottom, lighter ones on top.
Eco-Friendly Moving Boxes
All our cardboard boxes are 100% recyclable and sourced from responsible UK suppliers. Once your move is complete, reuse your boxes for storage or flatten and recycle them locally. Moving doesn’t have to harm the planet!
