We know you have many options when it comes to your move…. Should I hire Movers? Can I borrow Tom’s truck or should I rent one? Should I get cardboard moving boxes from Uhaul or should I rent moving boxes from Redi-Box? Don’t worry because we are going to answer that last question for you!
Cardboard Moving Boxes
Pros of Cardboard Moving Boxes
Availability
You can usually find cardboard boxes at work or other local businesses. However, these boxes are usually oddly shaped and are not optimal for carrying and moving.
Cons of Cardboard Moving Boxes
Weather Resistance
Lets just hope you have a sunny moving day when you are using cardboard. Any bit of rain or wet ground will weaken the paper fibers very quickly. Not only can your items get wet, but they can get damaged when you have a soft mushy cardboard box.
Aesthetics
Yuck! If you are getting cardboard boxes from your work or other businesses, they are going to be all different colors with different branding and wear and tear on them. Even the expensive boxes made for moving are still brown and ugly.
Durability
Be careful when stacking cardboard boxes. They usually do not hold much weight and especially weak if not built and packed properly.
Time
Cardboard take a lot of time to build and tape each box. Then after they are built, they are all different shapes and sizes which don’t stack nicely. It is like playing tetris with your valuables during a stressful moving day. Don’t forget you will have to break down and dispose the cardboard moving boxes when you are done.
