How can you save time on your move while protecting your belongings as well as possible? Choosing the right boxes will certainly be a great help and give you unrivalled peace of mind.

What type of box should you plan for when moving?

Professionals always use boxes suited to their needs, but if this is your first move you probably do not know much about the different options available. Here is a short guided tour of what you will find in our box cupboards.

The standard box or book box

This is probably the best-known one. It is used to pack everyday items and belongings that do not need extra protection. Sometimes filled with newspaper or bubble wrap, it is the amateur mover’s best friend.

Small and sized for A5 paperbacks, it can usually carry up to around twenty kilos. It is the basic accessory for moving your library.

Standard boxes can also be replaced by plastic crates, which we rent for a two-week period.

The plate box and glass box

This is a clever box with many compartments where you can store your plates without them breaking. Much more than a simple divided box, the plate box saves you the chore of wrapping your plates one by one, saving you precious time.

Like the plate box, the glass box is even better known. Here again, the compartments mean you do not have to wrap your glasses individually, saving you time and worry.

The bottle box 

Saving the glasses is good, but saving the bottles is just as important! A bottle box generally lets you move up to 6 bottles safely.

The picture and flat-screen box

Here is a box that has kept up with the times. This telescopic box lets you move your pictures (up to 4) or a flat screen, depending on your needs. Supplied with divider panels, it gives optimum protection when moving several pictures. 

The wardrobe box 

One of the most creative and practical models in the range: the wardrobe box lets you move your dresses, shirts and suits without even taking them off their hangers. Holding up to 30 light garments, it also lets you store clothes for a long time without having to iron them when you unpack.

 The archive box 

If you have a large number of binders and documents sorted into archive boxes, this box saves you from moving them one by one. Ideal for keeping trips to a minimum.
