• Custom Designs
  When moving on a tight budget, people often resort to scavenging tactics, sourcing boxes from all over the place, such as from grocery stores, liquor stores t, and even random trash cans. While these boxes are rudimentarily effective in providing your stuff with a container, they lack the custom features that come with professional moving boxes, which can quickly put your goods at a higher risk of damage.
  Professional moving boxes are specially designed to cradle the specific contents that they will carry within them. They are also designed for easy handling, impact resistance, and even rain protection. To top it off, these boxes are uniformly sized for easy packing in the vehicle, which also minimizes the risk of box movement during transit.
• Better Safety Features
  Let's consider the packing and transportation of fragile china, glassware, and dishes, for example. The regular cardboard boxes offer a very thin layer of wall between the outside and the content. This means that any impact force from outside can damage your fragile contents easily. Furthermore, the base of such boxes is just as weak as the sides, weaker even due to the flapping joints that are often held together by tape only. As such, there is a very high chance of those items rupturing the base and tumbling to the floor.
  Professional moving boxes will help you to avert this risk and ensure that your precious goods arrive intact at the destination. They also reduce the risk of package-drop accidents during the loading and unloading processes due to the better gripping features. Such accidents are hazardous to both the contents as well as all the persons involved, including yourself and your kids, who may be lurking around.
• Easy Organisation
  Being organized is key to a stress-free moving experience. Professional moving boxes allow you to label each box in pre-prepared locations for easy identification easily. You can also use simple color-coding to pack your stuff hence making it easy to know how to handle each box and which room to direct it to at the final destination. With random boxes, the labeling process can be pretty hectic and can easily lead to goods damage from mishandling if the labels go missing in the process.
• Health Considerations
  It's often impossible to determine the exact contents of empty and discarded cardboard boxes. The reality is that you can never really know what the box was previously used for before it was discarded. What if it contained toxic material? What if the previous contents were something that you're allergic to? The risk of contaminating your clothes, food, and kitchenware is quite high when using random boxes. To make matters worse, you can never know exactly what you're exposing yourself to.
  With professional moving boxes, your health and safety are assured. These boxes are designed to provide the most sanitary atmosphere for their contents. They can also be easily washed and sterilized using water, soap, and sanitizers. The same cannot be said about cardboard boxes from the dumpster because of any sign of water and they deteriorate like butter in the sun!
• Cushioning Factor
  The greatest threat to your property is impact damage. This is why packing materials such as paper, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts are so crucial when packing up your stuff. This is simply because they absorb impact on the containers and, therefore, cushion the contents from damage. Unfortunately, the combination of these cushioning materials and cardboard containers is not always sufficient to protect your goods, and they can easily suffer damage from impact forces in transit.

Professional moving boxes are, however, designed with this risk in mind hence they have a higher cushioning factor than your regular cardboard box. This makes them ideal for both fragile and non-fragile goods to ensure that they arrive in their pristine conditions without even the slightest of bruises. Professional packing boxes have thicker walls, solid bases, and sturdy lids to ensure that the contents are fully shielded from all angles with a wall that can resist strong impact forces.

Using the Boxes

Decided to use professional packing boxes? That's a great move, which will surely safeguard all your belongings. Let's take a look at what you need to keep in mind when using these convenient boxes:

• Initial Selection
  Packing boxes often come with specific usage, so picking them should be very simple. Try to select several different colors for easy identification of certain items but avoid varying the sizes a lot for easy packing and stacking in the moving vehicle.
• Stacking Limits
  Boxes can generally withstand stacks, especially these strong packing boxes designed to resist damage; however, there is indeed a limit to how much you can stack them. Check the box for the weight restrictions before using them and, generally, avoid stacking more than three boxes unless the contents are very light.
• Special Usage
  Since some professional packing boxes are designed for very distinct usage e.g., dish packing boxes and wardrobe boxes, it's always better to have some general-purpose ones on top for other odds and ends. Avoid abusing the special boxes and use them for their specific purpose for the best convenience and goods safety.
• After the move
  Once you're safely at your destination, you'll need to store your boxes in a dry place for future use, assuming that you own them, of course. Packing boxes make great storage for winter clothing or items in the basement. If you don't have space, you can always sell them, donate them to a friend, put them in storage, or recycle them!

As we wind up, the most significant limitation when selecting the best moving equipment for a flawless experience is usually the cost. To circumvent this, try to save up more for the move so that you can afford the extras that come in handy to make your move hassle-free. After all, some cost-cutting alternatives can end up costing you much more in damages than you would have spent securing the right equipment. Good luck!
