When it comes to buying moving boxes, whether it be a commercial or domestic move, it's crucial that you not only choose the right boxes, but that you buy enough of them to see you through your move.
With many years of experience in the moving industry, we've put this page together to help you work out how many boxes you might need for your move as well as detailing some of the different options you'll find when it comes to choosing boxes for moving.
Whether you're relocating home or office you're going to need to consider your packaging requirements. From bubble wrap to boxes, making sure you've got the right things to hand will help speed up the laborious packing process.
As well as being able to rent crates from us, we provide the option of buying too, or if you'd prefer, you can purchase strong cardboard boxes direct from us. You can find tips on choosing moving boxes here.
Below, are the main types of cardboard moving boxes that you can buy online from us here at Crate Hire UK. As well as individual boxes we also offer some handy house-moving packages that help to take some of the guesswork out of working out how many you might need.

How Many Will You Need For Your Move?
It can be challenging to work out exactly how many boxes you'll need and the last thing you want is for it to get to the day before you're due to move and in the midst of last-minute frantic packing, you find you're a few boxes short! Likewise, you don't want to end up paying for boxes that you won't use.

We do always recommend buying a few more boxes than you think you'll need - it's better to be safe than sorry - and if you have plenty of boxes, you'll be better able to resist the temptation of overpacking them which can leave them difficult to lift and handle, and worse, prone to failing under too much weight.
Our moving box packages have been designed to give you total peace of mind, and include all that you'll need to move everything from a small flat or apartment to a 3-bedroom family home.
