Quality of Cardboard Moving Boxes
When it comes down to packing up your things into moving boxes, you do it carefully, as to not damage anything. Unfortunately, your personal possessions can and will get damaged if you are not using cardboard moving boxes of good quality. Not all cardboard boxes are created equal and the ones you use during moving time for packing your things should be top of the line.
How Strong are Cardboard Moving Boxes
All cardboard boxes are not manufactured for the same purpose. Some cardboard boxes are used for packaging produce, footwear, electronics, jewelry, clothing, etc. That is why manufacturers of cardboard boxes have a certificate seal that is printed directly on the bottom of each box flap. All manufacturers of cardboard boxes must place this seal in order to show what the box strength is.
Cardboard boxes that are of the moving industry standard have a 200lb test weight also known as 32 ECT. Kitchen and Wardrobe moving boxes have a heavier test weight. DirectMovingBoxes.com's small, medium, large and extra large boxes are all moving industry standard 32 ECT/200lb test. Our kitchen and wardrobe moving boxes are extra heavy duty. We manufacture boxes specifically for the moving industry and each box will do the job of protecting your goods when packing properly.
Weak cardboard Moving Boxes
There are some companies that sell low quality cardboard boxes that are not fit for moving and rate in the 150lb test weight. These companies may tell you their cardboard boxes can be used for moving and don’t risk the damage to your belongings. Cardboard boxes of such test weight are flimsy and should only be used for very lightweight stuff, definitely not to use in packing your belongings. The 200lb test moving boxes are built sturdier and stronger. They are made to withstand packing heavy items within, loaded/unloaded into a moving truck and getting stacked one box on top of the other. The last thing you wont to happen is your moving boxes cave inwards and crush your belongings.
Using cardboard boxes that are designed for moving is worth the few extra dollars. Also, purchasing your moving boxes directly from DirectMovingBoxes.com will save you in the range of 40-70% off of what most moving companies will charge you for the same packing box and supplies.
