The average home’s contents require many boxes when moving home. There are several ways to source boxes for packing, and renting boxes is one option that has several benefits.
Cardboard boxes are the most popular method of packing items. You can ask supermarkets and they may give you some for free, but they tend to be thin and could collapse if heavy objects are carried in them. Cardboard boxes become more fragile in heavy rain. Rental boxes are usually made from heavy-duty plastic suitable for heavy loads and waterproof. They are designed to last for many moves.
New strong cardboard boxes or plastic containers are generally more expensive than renting boxes.
Rented boxes are delivered to you, and you can usually return them for free. They can be collected from your new home which saves time.
Self-sealing rental boxes require no plastic tape and do not always need packing paper. There is less cardboard and packing materials to throw away after the move. Some rental box suppliers offer boxes made with recycled plastic as an eco-friendlier option.
