Huge Boxes: You would need them to put your lighter things in. Remember, the rule of the thumb is never to put the heavier things in – after all, they need to be carried and moved. The toys, pots, pans, clothes, linen cushions, shoes go into these. Remember, you need to think of the hauling people. The easier it is for them, the better it is for you.
Medium Boxes: These are for your CDs, DVDs and books. Bathroom, Kitchen and sink cupboard items go well in this box. Wine bottles go best in these boxes.
Wardrobe boxes: Now, you would never think of moving those Giorgio Armani and the other designer clothes you flaunt at those parties, all folded and put into the larger boxes do you? This is where the wardrobe boxes come in handy. It’s nothing more than a lift and shift of those hanging clothes right into the box – just as they were, in the wardrobe.
Small Boxes: These are great for the crockery and glassware. You would need a good amount of these boxes if you have a lot of glassware. Remember to put in bubble paper or any other filling material between the glassware and they are safe.
Banker Boxes: This where all your important paperwork and files go into. More often than not, they have handles and lift-off lids for easy movement.
