Moving Boxes in Brisbane Selecting appropriate moving boxes can sometimes be a bit tricky. On The Move Removals have put together a couple of tips to make packing and moving locally in Brisbane a breeze. Selecting boxes The boxes at your local supermarket or hardware store might be free – but they’re not designed to hold household items! Read the box! The chances are it says something about breakfast cereal or paint brushes. And a box full of either of those products is much lighter than a box of your kitchenware or novels. Packing boxes are specifically designed for moving. They are strong, they are reinforced where they need to be reinforced, and there’s a convenient spot on the side for you to clearly label them. They are designed to pack neatly and flush next to, and on top of the next, making space for all your furniture and other belongings. But choosing the right number and types of boxes for your move can sometimes be a bit tricky. And remember if its smaller than a Moving Box it needs to be in one. Below you will find the types of moving boxes On The Move Removals can supply in Brisbane, their purpose and dimensions.

Below is an estimate of how many boxes you may need per number of bedrooms your home is. 1 bedroom 2 bedroom 3 bedroom 4 bedroom 10 x Large Box 15 x Large Box 30 x Large Box 45 x Large Box 15 x Small Box 20 x Small Box 35 x Small Box 50 x Small Box 5 + bedroom Wardrobe Filing Cabinet 60+ Large Box 1 x Porta-robe/3ft space 2 x Archive boxes/draw 80+ Small Box Marking Boxes Marking your packing boxes will help you as much as it does us. There are two main reasons to list the contents of your boxes, or at the very least, label them so you know which room the content belongs in: 1. It saves you having to cart boxes to the designated room after the removalists have gone. 2. You won’t be opening every single box to find that “must have” item in a hurry. Don’t forget to use a good marking pen so you can read what you have written. You can also use different coloured pens, labels or stickers for different rooms to make moving a breeze. Now that you have worked out what type and how many boxes you need, how do you get them? On The Move Removals deliver boxes free of charge for all orders over $50. Need a Brisbane Removalist?
