Man and His Van Directory - Boxes and Packaging Materials

Use high quality cardboard moving boxes. Not all moving and storage boxes are alike. You should know how box strength - quality - sizes - loads will affect your move.

Cardboard moving boxes come in all shapes, strengths and sizes - the stronger the cardboard moving box, the greater the protection for its contents. Generally, professional movers use corrugated cardboard boxes that are at least 32 ect (or 200lb test) in strength. These ratings are standard from the box industry, and help insure that your household belongings will arrive safely. Weaker boxes may crush under heavy loads. No moving, truck rental or self storage company should sell a moving box weaker than 32 ect (200lb test). There are some retailers that sell much weaker (by 46%) 150lb test boxes and calling them moving boxes. BEWARE! This box was actually designed for light-weight usage and should not be used for moving.

The main cause of damage during a move is a box that is not fully packed. Empty space in a box creates trouble. See our packing tips for more details. " Used cardboard moving boxes can be used for moving or storage. Boxes may get weaker each time they are reused. It really depends on how each box was packed, handled, transported, protected (i.e. rain, snow), unpacked and even stored. Water can ruin boxes! Protect your boxes from the natural elements and be sure to ask any box seller if their boxes have ever come into contact with water.
