Stock standard moving boxes for the majority of your customers' belongings Sturdy, rectangular boxes are the best bet for household items like books, toys, plants, linens and folded clothing. Suggest that customers use a number of small boxes rather than stuffing everything into the largest box possible. Smaller moving boxes not only simplify organizing, labeling and storage, they're also easier for customers to carry.

I recommend:  Get bundles of 20 medium-sized moving boxes through Moving Day Boxes. Click the links along the left column for additional moving boxes information and to order additional packing supplies. XpressBoxes sells groups of small, medium and large boxes and offers suggested uses and packing tips that you can pass on to your customers.

Issue wardrobe moving boxes to ship clothing without folding and re-hanging Wardrobe moving boxes provide a convenient alternative to traditional boxes when customers want to transport their clothing straight from the closet. Because they feature a bar across the box to hold hanging shirts, skirts, jackets and pants, look for heavy duty versions that won't sag in the center once filled.

I recommend:  Packing.com sells 42- and 45-inch-tall wardrobe boxes at wholesale prices. Get 40-inch-tall, double-strength wardrobe boxes through BoxKits.com. Both sites sells the wardrobe boxes in bundles of three and offer further discounts when your purchase moving boxes together in “kits.”

Protect customer glassware with reinforced moving boxes and dividers Clients may be particularly concerned with the packing of breakable glassware, electronic equipment and fragile trinkets. Reinforced moving boxes provide additional durability and overlapping flaps to prevent items from slipping out due to insufficient taping. Consider providing divider inserts, foam packing pieces and bubble wrap as extra protection.

I recommend:  Moving boxes provider Uline offers corrugated boxes with full-overlap flaps to transport flat panel televisions and items like mirrors and artwork. The site also sells dish and glass moving boxes with divider inserts to separate fragile items. Get heavy duty boxes to pack dishes and other kitchen items from BoxQuest.
