Ishani DePillo, VP of marketing at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/papermart.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper Mart<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, recommends &#8220;10\u201315 boxes per room, then adjust based on how you actually live: book lovers, home cooks, and families with kids almost always need more than they think.&#8221; This approach is especially helpful if your home has rooms with very different storage needs, such as a home office, craft room, or garage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the right box sizes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figuring out how many boxes you need to move is only half the battle. Choosing the right box size helps protect your belongings, makes boxes easier to carry, and reduces the risk of damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christian Santos says to \u201cthink in categories&#8221; by using the following packing strategy for your moving boxes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Small boxes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Books, dishes, canned goods, tools, and other heavy items<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medium boxes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Kitchen supplies, toys, d\u00e9cor, towels, and linens<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Large boxes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pillows, comforters, lampshades, and lightweight bulky items<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Specialty boxes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> TVs, mirrors, artwork, hanging clothes, and fragile dishware<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, Mordy Kurtz recommends keeping heavier or fragile belongings in smaller boxes because they&#8217;re easier to lift and less likely to break, while lighter items such as clothing and bedding work well in larger boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re moving expensive electronics, artwork, or fine china, specialty boxes like TV boxes and dish-pack kits are often worth the extra investment. According to UBoxes, these boxes provide better protection than standard cartons and can help reduce damage during the move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>&gt;&gt; Read: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/what-to-pack-first-when-moving-house\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><b><i>What to Pack First When Moving House: Your Stress-Free Guide<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-76347 size-blog-post\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/boxes-2-945x630.jpg\" alt=\"labeled moving boxes\" width=\"945\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/boxes-2-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/boxes-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/boxes-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/boxes-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/boxes-2-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/boxes-2-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/boxes-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy more boxes than you think you&#8217;ll need<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common packing mistakes is purchasing exactly the number of boxes you estimate. Christian Santos advises, &#8220;When in doubt, always grab 10\u201315 extra boxes. Running out mid-pack is one of the most common moving day headaches we see, and extra boxes are easy to return or recycle.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, UBoxes recommends buying about 10% more boxes than your estimate to avoid costly last-minute trips to the store. It&#8217;s also important not to overload the boxes you already have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ishani DePillo also warns, &#8220;Overpacking large boxes is the most common moving mistake we see. It makes boxes heavy, hard to carry, and prone to breaking. When in doubt, buy a few extra.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packing tips that make moving easier<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&#8217;ve estimated your moving boxes, a few smart packing habits can save time and frustration on moving day:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pack one room at a time to stay organized.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Label every box with both its contents and the designated room..<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave space for packing paper or bubble wrap when packing fragile items.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/top-declutter-tips\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Declutter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before packing so you aren&#8217;t paying to move things you no longer need.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Save leftover boxes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Mordy Kurtz points out, unused boxes don&#8217;t have to go to waste.
