There are three industry standard sizes of moving boxes that are included with every moving kit. The first type of moving boxes are often referred to as small moving boxes, otherwise known as ”All Purpose moving boxes” or the 1.5 cubic. All Purpose moving boxes are the most important box for moving, and it is suggested to pack anything inside of this moving box that can fit inside. It is deep and wide, yet it is not too large that you can risk over-packing.The medium sized moving boxes, otherwise known as “Kitchen moving boxes” or 3.0 cubic, is ideal to pack large kitchen pots, pans, and small appliances. The large moving boxes, otherwise known as “Pillow moving boxes” or 4.5 cubic, are helpful only to pack very lightweight items such as pillows. The biggest mistake that people make when packing is to use large moving boxes to pack most of their home. The risk of damage, having packing boxes that are too heavy to carry, and boxes that break goes up drastically. The last type of industry standard moving boxes are wardrobe boxes. Wardrobe moving boxes include a bar inside of them that enable you to hang your clothes inside of them while moving or storing, and they make for wonderful garage storage after you use them.
