Using the Proper Boxes for Moving Will Save You Money!
If you have encountered packing your household belongings into a box and moved places, or just wanted to place your stuff into storage, you’ve surely encountered looking for professional removal boxes and got discouraged due to the price. Whilst it can be tempting to use the packing materials as an opportunity to save on your move, there are several reasons why you may want to reconsider heading down to your local shopping centre and getting some old boxes from Bunnings, Dan Murphies and the like.Know the Right Kind of Box
Knowing the proper type of box to use for your move is not only essential but should be part of your checklist. A well-packed household item such as pots can collapse during transit if the box cannot handle the weight. One of the worst fears any person moving has is a box of household items collapsing while carrying them to your front door.Professional Removal Cartons are Safer

Single Ply, Budget Cartons
Now not all removal cartons are made equally either, and we often move people who have managed to find a great bargain on their boxes. The problem is, that many of these budget boxes are only a single ply of cardboard thick. A single ply cardboard box can often sag or be crushed by the weight of having another box placed on top of it. By being less rigid, this places your items at risk, and it also increases the chances that a stack of boxes may gradually become unbalanced and fall over completely!Removal Cartons Have Uniform Dimensions

More Can Mean Less
Now you may be thinking twice on how this can cost you more money but it’s just the opposite. By using larger boxes, you can save money without scrimping on the quality. This will not only save you money but will also help you move easier when it comes to unpacking your stuff.Using Larger Cartons Makes Your Job and Ours Faster
We recently did a survey of previous customers, in which we asked the question: “What was the single worst thing that has happened to you when moving house?… and why did it happen?” we got a very interesting response from someone who was retrospectively regretting their packing methods: “It cost WAAAAY too much because I used lots and lots of little boxes thinking that they’d be easier to manage. IN a way they are, however, I should have transferred the little boxes into cardboard teachest boxes, would have saved lots of time & I could have unpacked them at leisure.” The problem here is that not only does it take much longer to pack everything into lots of small boxes, as you run out of space so quickly and often can not fit a great arrangement of items into each box. But, it also means that there are a lot more trips back and forth from the house to the truck in order to move all of the boxes. A removalist trolley (or sack truck) can only carry a set amount of boxes if they are proper furniture removals cartons they can be stacked quickly and tilted to fit onto the trolley in a perfect fit. When they are smaller irregular shaped boxes they often have to be manually stacked onto the trolley which can take quite a bit longer. Additionally, if the boxes are too small, then they can fall in between the bars of the trolley which in turn means that they have to be carried by hand or loaded onto the trolley in a much more intricate way. The average home can include hundreds of trips back and forth from the home, but when you use small boxes this can increase to a much larger number!
