How Big Are Your Boxes?
We supply a massive range of cardboard removal boxes in many different shapes and sizes. Our small, medium and large cardboard boxes can handle most items. We also supply more specialist boxes for packing your clothes, tv screens and any archiving.
We stock wardrobe cartons with a hanging rail, allowing you to easily pack your clothes from your wardrobe while keeping them hung within the moving box itself. These boxes help keep your clothes wrinkle-free in relocation and make it easy to transfer them back into your wardrobe in the correct order. Perfect!
Archive boxes are available to purchase online to help you move and store your essential documents and files when moving your house. These boxes come with handles at the short ends for secure handling. A separate lid comes with your archive boxes to safeguard your archiving from dust and light when in storage. You can stack them on top of each other also to save space.
Boxes to pack your TV can also be ordered to move large TVs' and computer monitors safely. The boxes are made from cardboard and large enough to load most TV and monitor sizes in one package. We recommend packing your tv with bubble wrap to guard against any damage when moving.
How Do The Cardboard Boxes Arrive?
When your order of storage boxes and packaging is delivered, they arrive in a flat-pack state. This makes transporting the containers to you easier as less space is used on the vehicles; however, you will need to build the removal boxes before packing your home contents. The cartons are easy to assemble when used with packing tape, but this means they aren't as quick to fill compared to plastic moving crates ready to pack.
All of our cardboard boxes are double-walled to ensure strength and integrity at all times. This strength helps to protect your items when moving home. You can also buy cheaper single walled boxes, but we feel that they are not in many cases not fit for purpose and therefore we do not hold any single walled home moving boxes in stock as we provide a premium service.
How Many Boxes for Moving A House?
Whether you are looking to pack and move a one bedroom property or a six bedroom home, the number of removal boxes needed will hugely depend on the number of items and possessions you are looking to relocate. Not everything can be packed into double wall boxes and generally only things you can handle and lift yourself can and should be packed.
As a general rule of thumb, 10 - 20 large cardboard boxes for each person moving (including children) are useful guidelines. This, of course, is dependant on whether you feel you have more items than a typical home has. We always recommend ordering more packing boxes than you think as it is better to have too many than not enough.
The great thing about using our service is that if you require more boxes, you can order them online and have them delivered the next day in most circumstances. This gives you peace of mind that you will be able to pack all your belongings before the big day.

What Do I Do With The Empty Boxes Once I Have Finished With Them?
Once you have used your boxes to pack, store and move, you will need to dispose of them responsibly. You can give them to friends and family if they require boxes or look to dispose of them via your local waste management depot. These council-owned depots have individual containers for cardboard and will make sure your old boxes are appropriately recycled or incinerated. Due to this process, plastic moving crates are becoming increasingly popular as they are reusable and recycled at the end of their natural life.
Other Facts About Cardboard Moving Boxes
Cardboard moving boxes have been around for longer than you think, and they have progressed through the decades to become more reliable when relocating.
History of Cardboard
Before cardboard and the cardboard box came to be, people used wooden crates to move belongings and items. Wooden tea crates and tea chests were primarily a way to recycle packaging for moving and storing after shipping. It wasn't until 1817 that the simple cardboard box was invented using a material known as paperboard. Due to the first known boxes' delicate nature, they were used only for very light items, including cereals. When corrugated cardboard became available in the mid-1900s, it was then feasible to move and handle larger items in the more robust corrugated cardboard boxes. The corrugated cardboard was put into mass production due to its practicality. Eventually, in 1890, pre-cut cardboard boxes were being produced out of board pieces that could be folded easily to make an instant box and the rest, as they say, is history.
Traditional cardboard boxes are a simple way to move house; however, they are no longer the only way to move your home or office. Plastic moving crates are becoming increasingly popular to help people move and relocate their families as they are ready to use, more robust, and no disposal is required. Pricing is becoming comparable now, and we feel at Crate Hire UK that it is just a matter of time when plastic crates take over from cardboard boxes. More and more people are hiring plastic boxes to move homes. Before crates were being used primarily in the commercial moving office environment, slowly but surely the moving domestic scene is transferring to plastic crate hire.
