Moving & Cardboard Boxes

Packing to move to a new home or city can be stressful enough without wondering where you’re going to get your packing supplies from, especially cardboard boxes.

Planning and preparation go a long way to a stress-free moving experience. Whether you’re moving to a new home or office, finding the right number and size of boxes is typically on the top of the packing supply list. Browsing moving tips may offer great advice, but before packing begins, it’s important to know the differences between using cardboard boxes versus re-usable plastic boxes and crates for your move.

Cardboard Boxes

Cardboard boxes are typically the first option considered, as they are the norm when it comes to packing and moving small and large items in North America. However, cardboard boxes can cause some big and unnecessary headaches when in the middle of moving;

• Quality cardboard boxes can be difficult to find
• Cardboard boxes take up extra space in your home or office when packing
• It’s a hassle to break down and dispose cardboard boxes
• Cardboard boxes are not an eco-friendly means to move. Cardboard boxes go back to the trash and pollute the community, creating environmental concerns.
• Cardboard boxes are unreliable, prone to tearing and collapsing, and increases the risk of breakage of your valuable items.
• Cardboard boxes can be home to unwelcome insects that make the trip with you to your new home.
• Purchasing new cardboard boxes can be expensive

While cardboard boxes are a common way to pack and move in North America, the use of re-usable eco-friendly plastic boxes and crates has been growing in popularity. These plastic boxes have been a standard way to move in Europe for decades, and finally growing in popularity in North America, especially in moist and rain dense cities as Vancouver where these weather conditions ruin cardboard boxes and cause spoilage and breakage.
