Help! How many packing boxes do I need?
Ezi Storage offers a lot more than just self storage for your personal needs. We offer everything from large self storage units to moving boxes in our Osborne Park facility. But what sort of packing cartons or boxes do you need? And how many should you get?
It can be confusing at best and absolutely overwhelming at worst to work out how many boxes to order. So, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about packing boxes and how to think both in and out of the box.
Getting to know packing boxes
In actual fact, there is a wide selection of different boxes. From big and small to partitioned, there’s simply no one-box-fits-all when it comes to moving and undercover storage. This is just as well because if you’re moving homes, you’ll want the right box for the right items.
It’s also important that you’re aware of the different types of boxes you’re purchasing because that will affect your calculations when working out how many you’ll need.
Specialty Carton Types
While standard boxes might work well for most of your possessions, there are always those objects that just won’t fit quite right. That’s where our speciality cartons come in.
Kitchen Cartons
Our kitchen cartons will ensure your kitchen items are safely protected during the move. Complete with inserts to allow you to keep each individual item self-contained and thus protected, it’s the easy way to achieve peace of mind.
Our kitchen cartons measure 600 x 300 x 300 mm and cost just $3.50 per box.
Wine cartons
Our wine cartons, complete with individualised inserts in which you can gently and securely lay your wine bottles are perfect for careful packing and moving of your wine collection. Measuring in at 490 x 325 x 165 mm, and just $5.00 each, it’s a highly economical way to keep your wine secure.
Picture and Mirror Cartons
With a standard sizing of 1040 x 75 x 775 mm, our specialty picture cartons keep wide, flat objects nice and protected. At just $6.00 a carton, whether you have picture frames, artwork or mirrors that need transportation or storage, these cartons are going to be a safe option. These cartons also have pre-printed signage indicating that the contents are fragile.
Book Cartons
Our book cartons with standard sizing of 410 x 300 x 435 mm, are ideal for packing not only books but also documents, pantry items and bathroom items. At just $3.00 a carton, you can probably never have too many on hand for all the little things.
Port a Robe Carton
Our Port a Robe cartons measure 594 x 476 x 1099 mm, and are taller, wider boxes that come with an inbuilt rod across the inside. They are $16.00 each and specially designed to make transporting your clothing quicker and easier and remove the need for folding. This means less time spent packing, unpacking and ironing your clothes. However, be careful not to overpack these cartons, as it may cause the boxes to break!

Moving packages are also a great way to get your moving boxes cheaper. We have a range of packages designed to help you achieve an efficient and cost effective move which are based on the standard requirements for moves of that size. Let us take the guesswork out of buying your packing materials.
