How Many Moving Boxes Do You Need?

by | Jul 29, 2020 | Features

Moving can be a stressful process, and packing your belongings comes with all sorts of uncertainty. Many times, people who are moving are unsure of how many boxes they will need for all their stuff. For most home moves, the average number of boxes needed is sixty, but it can vary depending on several factors like number of rooms, square footage, and overall lifestyle. It’s important to purchase boxes that are in good condition to protect your belongings during the move, and you should also buy boxes of different shapes to fit any awkwardly-sized items.
