At Security Mini Storage, we sell Moving and Packing Supplies on site. We are essentially your one stop shop for all things storage and moving. However, many people can’t figure out the best way to pack their moving boxes. Well we at Security Mini Storage have put together a list of what to pack in what size moving box. Hopefully it helps some of you out there!

What to Pack?

Lets be a bit general here, and go with small, medium and large cardboard moving boxes.

Small

Small boxes are great for light and small things, these things include:

• Laptops
• Game Consoles
• Household Cleaning Supplies
• Books
• Magazines
• Records
• Small Tools
• Fragile China

Medium

Medium boxes are perfect for a wide variety of things big or small, but here is an example of what you should be packing into a medium sized moving box.

• Photo Albums
• Kitchen ware (Dishes, Utensils, Glasses etc)
• Small Appliances (Coffee makers, irons etc)
• CD/DVD Collections
• Footwear (Keep boots for bigger boxes)
• Toys

Large

Big boxes don’t mean heavy large items, these could break through the box and result in back injuries when packed too heavy. Keep big boxes for big and light items.

• Clothing
• Pillows, bedding, sheets and the like
• Lampshades
• Pots, pans, baking trays
• Larger toys

We hope this gives you a little insight into what you should be packing into your boxes. Note, this is for cardboard boxes. We recommend plastic boxes for things that are very fragile or delicate as they offer more protection. Cardboard boxes are more affordable and if packed properly shouldn’t pose a problem.
