MOVING & PACKING BOXES FOR SALE IN PRETORIA
Types of Cardboard Boxes
When it comes to cardboard moving boxes, there are two main types of corrugated boxes: single wall and double wall.
Single wall boxes are made of a single layer of corrugated board and are suitable for carrying a maximum weight of 20 kg. They are ideal for packing lighter items such as shoes, toys, and kitchen utensils. Double wall boxes, on the other hand, are made of a double-layer corrugated board and are suitable for packing heavier items such as books, and kitchen gadgets. They are more durable than single wall boxes and can hold up to 30 kg of weight.
Single wall boxes
Single wall boxes are generally less expensive than double wall boxes and are ideal for short-term storage or shipping. They are also easier to handle due to their lighter weight. However, they may not be suitable for long-term storage or shipping of heavy items as they may not provide enough protection
Double wall boxes
Double wall boxes, on the other hand, offer greater protection to contents due to their thicker walls. They are ideal for long-term storage or shipping of heavy items as they can withstand rough handling and stacking. However, they are more expensive than single wall boxes and may not be necessary for packing lighter items.

STRESS-FREE MOVE IF YOU ARE PACKING YOURSELF
Five Packing Tips
The more organised you are, the smoother your move will be. Here are five essential packing tips to ensure a stress-free DIY move:
- Source Boxes: Before spending on boxes, check out the moving kits from BoxIt Pretoria, as it is more cost-effective to group boxes and packing supplies than individual boxes.
- Avoid Overloading Boxes: While your movers may be strong, excessively heavy boxes can slow the moving process. Keep boxes manageable and easy to lift.
- Label Boxes: Speed up the unpacking process by clearly labelling each box with its destination, such as 'kitchen' or 'bedroom 2.' BoxIt Pretoria has various labels and marking supplies available.
- Use Fragile Stickers: For delicate items, mark boxes as 'fragile' or use fragile stickers to ensure they receive extra care during the move. Stickers are available in our shop.
- Complete Packing Before the Movers Arrive: Ensure all packing is finished before the movers arrive. Disassemble furniture, remove shelves and have all items ready in one area of your home to expedite the process.
With BoxIt Pretoria, your cardboard moving boxes are more than just boxes; they're a step toward a stress-free and sustainable move.
