This is the box that does most of the work in a move or a pack into storage. Books, plates, pots and pans, ornaments, files, small appliances, the things that fill a shelf or a cupboard. A medium box is sized for exactly that. It’s smaller than our large box, and that’s the point. Dense items get heavy quickly, so a smaller box keeps a full load at a weight you can actually carry.

Maximum weight: 20kg. Keep within that and it’ll take a full load comfortably.

Double Walled, So It Holds Its Shape

The box is double walled all the way round, not just at the base. Books are what finds out a weak box, and a single wall one can bow or give way long before it’s full. Double walls hold their shape instead, even stacked under other boxes, so long as you keep within the maximum weight above.

What Fits in a Medium Box

• Books
• Kitchenware, crockery and cookware
• Ornaments and decorative items
• Files and paperwork
• Small appliances
• General household items

Medium or Large, Which One Do You Need?

If it’s books, kitchenware or anything dense, reach for the medium box rather than the large one. A large box gives you more room, and with dense items that only means more weight in one lift. A full large box of books is too heavy to carry safely, double walls or not. Save the large size for the bulky, light things it’s built for, like bedding, towels and cushions. The medium box handles everything heavier.

Buying More Than One

If you already know you need several, the 10 x Medium Moving Boxes pack comes with a free roll of tape and saves you £7 against buying ten singles.

FAQ

How many medium boxes will I need?

It depends on how much you’re packing, but books and kitchenware alone tend to fill more boxes than people expect. If you can, order a few extra rather than running short halfway through.

Can I use a large box for books and kitchenware instead?

We wouldn’t recommend it. A large box holds more, so a full one of books or kitchenware gets too heavy to carry safely, even with double walls. Keep dense items in a medium box and save the large size for bulky, light things like bedding and cushions.

Does it arrive built or flat packed?

Flat packed. Fold it up and tape it shut when you’re ready to use it.

This is the box for the things that take up space without weighing much. Duvets, pillows, towels, cushions, lampshades, out of season clothing. It’s not the one for books or anything dense, that’s what a medium box is for. A large box gives you a lot of room, so if you fill it with heavy items it turns into an awkward lift, even with double walls.

Maximum weight: 20kg. Stay under that and it’ll carry what it’s designed to carry without complaint.

Double Walled, So It Holds Its Shape

The box is double walled all the way round, not just at the base. That means it keeps its shape when it’s fully loaded and stacked under other boxes, rather than bowing or giving way the way a thinner single wall box can. Keep within the maximum weight above and it’ll do its job.

What Fits in a Large Box

• Duvets, pillows and bedding
• Towels and linens
• Cushions
• Lampshades and other bulky but light items
• Out of season clothing

FAQ

How many large boxes will I need?

It depends on the move, but most people end up needing more than they first thought. If you can, order them all in one go. It’s a lot easier than working out halfway through packing that you’re a few boxes short.

Can I put heavy items like books in a large box?

We wouldn’t recommend it. A large box holds a lot, so dense items make it too heavy to carry safely, even with double walls. Keep this size for bedding, towels, cushions and other bulky but light things, and use a medium box for anything dense.

Does it arrive built or flat packed?

Flat packed. Fold it up and tape it shut when you’re ready to use it.

The TV is usually the item people are most nervous about on moving day. It’s expensive, awkward to carry and easily damaged, which is how it ends up wedged between two mattresses or in a random box off Facebook Marketplace that’s roughly the right size. That normally works out fine. It’s just a stressful way to do it. This box does one job: it holds a 55 inch plasma or flat screen TV, so the screen is sorted before the van turns up.

What Makes It a Specialist Box

This isn’t a general purpose box with a TV shaped label on it. It’s marked This Way Up, so it stays the right way round from your hallway into the van and back out again. It’s also marked Handle With Extreme Care, which matters most once the box is out of your hands and someone else is carrying it. Carry handles on both sides mean it can be lifted properly, rather than gripped round the edges of the screen.

Sized for a 55 Inch Screen

At 1320 x 200 x 870mm, the carton is shaped for a 55 inch TV. Tall and wide, but narrow enough to hold the screen without leaving it room to shift about inside. If your TV is a different size, measure the screen diagonally and check it against those dimensions before you order. A box that’s too big lets a heavy, flat item move around in transit.

If You’re Storing as Well as Moving

If your TV is going into storage rather than straight to a new address, that’s what we do too. We collect it, look after it, and bring it back when you’re ready. Get an instant quote to see what that would cost alongside your move.

FAQ

What size TVs does this box fit?

It’s built for a 55 inch plasma or flat screen TV. Measure your screen diagonally and check it against the 1320 x 200 x 870mm dimensions above before you order, because a box that’s the wrong size won’t hold the screen securely.

Should I still use bubble wrap as well?

Plenty of people do, and it’s fine to add some inside. The box is built for this shape and size of item though, so you’re not relying on padding alone to protect it.

Can I use this box if my TV is going into storage rather than a new address?

Yes, it works the same either way. We collect it, look after it, and bring it back to you in the condition it went in.

The lid is part of the box, not a separate flap you have to tape down. Fold it shut and it stays shut, so you get a proper cardboard box with a lid rather than one held together on faith and a strip of tape. It’s sturdy, and there are carry handles on both sides so it’s easy to lift once it’s full. At 406 x 331 x 318mm, it’s sized for filing and paperwork rather than a full room’s worth of belongings.

Made for Filing, Paperwork and Long Term Storage

Files, folders and paperwork are what this box is built for. If you’re clearing an office, packing up a home study, or shifting boxes of documents from one address to another, this is the size and shape for the job. Paperwork is denser than it looks, so a box this size keeps each load to something you can actually carry.

Label It and Track It

There’s a pre-printed area for a label, plus space for a barcode, so you can mark up what’s inside without hunting for a pen and a clear patch of cardboard. That matters more with paperwork than with most things. One box of old files looks a lot like another once the lid’s down, so label it when you pack it and you’ll know what’s coming back before you open it.

Archive Box or Large Moving Box, Which One Do You Need?

If You’re Storing as Well as Moving

If some of what you’re archiving is heading into storage rather than straight to a new desk or a new address, that’s what we do too. We collect it, look after it, and bring it back when you want it. Get an instant quote to see what that would cost.

Delivery

Order before 1pm, Monday to Friday, and it arrives the next working day.

FAQ

Does the lid need tape to stay shut?

No. The lid is built into the box, so it folds down and stays put on its own. If a box is heading into storage for a while, a strip of tape over the top gives you a bit more peace of mind, but you won’t need it day to day.

Can I stack these boxes once they’re full?

Yes. Once the lid’s down you’ve got a flat, stable top to stack on. Files and paperwork are heavier than people expect though, so keep an eye on how high you go rather than building a tower.

Is this the right box for a full office move, or just document storage?

Both. It’s sized for filing and paperwork rather than bulky items, so it works for a document archive, a house move that includes a home office, or a business clearing its records into storage.

The post File Away Archive Box with Lid appeared first on Jam Storage.

This is the box for anyone who’d rather not fold a wardrobe full of clothes into bags. It has a hanging rail fitted inside, so coats, suits and dresses come off your rail and into the box on the hangers they’re already on. They travel the way they hang at home, instead of scrunched into a corner.

Double Walled, So It Keeps Its Shape

The box is double walled, so it stays upright and square with a full rail of clothes hanging inside it, rather than leaning or buckling under the load. There are carry handles on each side to make it easier to lift, and it’s marked Handle With Care so it gets treated that way in transit.

Do You Actually Need the Rail, or Will Folding Do?

Plenty of people fold clothes into an ordinary box and it works fine, especially for everyday things you’re not fussed about. The rail earns its keep with the items you don’t want creased or crushed at the other end: suits, dresses, coats, anything you’d normally hang rather than fold. Pack those hanging now and you won’t be ironing them later.

FAQ

How does the hanging rail work?

Your clothes go in on the hangers they’re already on, straight onto the rail fitted inside the box. You don’t need to unhook anything or fold items down first.

Can I use it for storage, not just a move?

Yes. If your wardrobe clear out is heading into storage rather than a new home, pack it the same way. Just bear in mind that when you want it back, you get the whole box, not individual items pulled out of it.

Does it arrive built or flat packed?

Flat packed. Fold it up and fit the rail before you start hanging clothes in it.

If you’re moving house or clearing a room out for storage, one large box is rarely the job. This pack gives you ten large moving boxes and a free roll of brown parcel tape, so you can pack a bedroom’s worth of bedding, towels and bulky but light things without ordering box by box. Each one is 457 x 457 x 457mm, sized for the stuff that takes up space without weighing much. Duvets, pillows, cushions, lampshades, out of season clothing.

Maximum weight per box: 20kg. Stay under that on every box in the pack and they’ll carry what they’re designed to carry without complaint.

What To Place In The Box

A large box holds a lot, and that’s what catches people out on a full house move. Fill one with books or anything else dense and it turns into an awkward lift, even with double walls. When you’re packing ten at once, it’s easy to load them all the same way out of habit. Keep the heavy things for a medium box and use these ten for bedding, towels and cushions.

Double Walled, So They Hold Their Shape

Every box in the pack is double walled all the way round, not just at the base. That means they keep their shape when they’re fully loaded and stacked under each other, rather than bowing or giving way the way thinner single wall boxes can. Keep within the maximum weight above and they’ll do their job right through to the last one you unpack.

What’s Included

• 10 x large moving boxes (457 x 457 x 457mm)
• 1 x free roll of brown parcel tape

Why Buying Ten Makes Sense

If you already know you need several large boxes, and most full house moves do, a pack of ten works out cheaper than the same number of singles. This pack is £34.99, against £45.00 for ten bought individually, so you save £10 and get a free roll of tape with it.

FAQ

Is ten large boxes enough for a house move? 

It depends on the move, but ten is a sensible starting point for a room’s worth of bedding, towels and bulky but light items. If you think you’ll need more, order them in the same batch. It’s a lot easier than working out halfway through packing that you’re short.

Can I mix heavy items in with the lighter ones across the ten boxes? 

We wouldn’t recommend loading any of them with dense items like books. A large box holds a lot of volume, so heavy things add up fast and make it too heavy to carry safely, even double walled. Keep this size for bedding, towels, cushions and other bulky but light things, and use a medium box for anything dense.

Do the boxes arrive built or flat packed? 

Flat packed, all ten. Fold each one up and tape it shut when you’re ready to use it.

The post 10 x Large Moving Boxes, Ready for a Full House Move appeared first on Jam Storage.

Anyone who has packed a shelf of books knows how quickly a box stops being liftable. A medium box is sized to stop that happening. It’s smaller than our large box on purpose, so a full box of books, kitchenware or general household bits stays a weight one person can pick up and carry.

Maximum weight per box: 20kg.

Double Walled All the Way Round

The box is double walled all the way round, not just at the base. That’s what stops it bowing or buckling when you’ve packed it with something dense. Books, plates and tins are the heavier end of what a house move turns up, and this is the size built to carry them, as long as you don’t push past what you can comfortably lift.

What’s in the Pack

• 10 x medium moving boxes (457 x 356 x 356mm)
• 1 x roll of brown parcel tape (48mm x 66m), free

Why the Pack Costs Less Than Ten Singles

Buy ten medium boxes one at a time and it comes to £35.00. As a pack of 10, with the tape thrown in, it’s £27.99, so you’re £7 better off, and you’re not left hunting round for something to seal them with either.

FAQ

Will a medium box hold my books?

Yes. It’s double walled and sized for exactly this. The one thing to watch is how full you make it. Books are dense, so a medium box gets heavy well before it looks full, and stopping a little short keeps it easy to carry.

Which size is right for books and dense items, medium or large?

Medium. A large box holds a lot more volume, so a full large box of books gets too heavy to lift safely, even with double walls. Keep books, kitchenware and other dense items in a medium box, and save the large size for bulky but light things like bedding and cushions.

Does it arrive built or flat packed?

Flat packed. Fold it up and tape it shut when you’re ready to use it.
