When it comes to the type of storage containers you use to pack up your home, you’ve got a wide range of options. Because you have so many choices, deciding what will work best for your needs can feel overwhelming. Don’t fear! We have you covered. Let’s talk about some of the possibilities you have available to you. Hopefully, knowing what is out there will help you narrow down your decision and choose the best box type for your needs. Let’s get started.
We are all familiar with the corrugated fiber moving boxes specifically made for transporting household items. If you’ve ever moved before, chances are you’ve got a few stashed out of the way for a later date. Moving boxes have been around for quite some time and they are made for the express purpose of making sure your goods make it safely wherever they are headed. One great thing about moving specific cardboard boxes is that they are made in a variety of shapes and sizes and for specific items. This makes packing a breeze. You know what box you need for every item making the decision quick and simple. Cardboard boxes stack easily and retain their shape during the move too. This ensures that your belongings will arrive safely provided your moving truck was packed correctly. Boxes made of cardboard also make great use of the space within a moving truck so you can fit more in with less hassle. That’s a great thing.
Plastic totes are another viable option for packing. These come already put together so you will save time on the front end because no construction is required. If you are short on time and have the money (plastic totes are considerably more expensive than cardboard), these might be the perfect fit for you. Many rental companies will rent out heavy-duty plastic bins to pack in too. If you do not want to go this route, you can purchase totes of your own to haul your belongings. Plastic totes are not susceptible to silverfish and other paper loving insects and they are waterproof making them a great choice for moving pictures, books, and the like. You can always reuse your plastic totes for storage once you move too.
The bottom line is that you have to choose the material that is best suited to your needs. If you are not sure which one to use, give A Mother’s Touch Movers of Brevard County a call. We can help you determine what will work best and get you on the path to DONE in no time flat.
