Moving Boxes — Every Size, Every Room, Every Budget
All our moving boxes are double-walled corrugated cardboard — significantly stronger than the single-walled cardboard boxes you find at supermarkets, and rated for stacking six high in a loaded removal van. Whether you need a single book box or 100 large moving boxes for a whole house, we stock every size — from compact book boxes to the extra large moving box for lightweight bulk items. Each of our packing boxes for moving is rated for stacking six high — significantly stronger than supermarket cardboard.
Looking to buy moving boxes cheaply? Our packing kits deliver the best value, saving 15–20% versus individual box prices. From small book boxes to large packing boxes, cardboard boxes for moving house start from just £2.50 each with no minimum order.

Finding the right number of house moving boxes starts with your property size — a 3-bedroom house typically needs 50–70 boxes. Not sure where to start? Contact us for a free personalised estimate based on your property size and room count. You can also use our van size guide to match your box count to the right vehicle.
Order packing boxes for moving early — at least one week before packing begins. As a general rule, order 10–15% more boxes than you think you need — it is always cheaper to return unopened boxes than to run out mid-pack and delay your move. Unopened items returned within 14 days receive a full refund under the [Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/3134/contents/made).

Eco-Friendly Moving Boxes and Packing Materials
Our packing materials are designed to minimise environmental impact — from recycled cardboard to biodegradable bubble wrap and reusable furniture blankets.
All cardboard boxes: minimum 70% recycled content, fully recyclable
Packing paper: acid-free, unbleached, recyclable
Biodegradable bubble wrap available
Starch-based packing peanuts dissolve in water
Furniture blankets reusable hundreds of times
After your move, flatten your cardboard boxes for kerbside recycling — most UK councils accept corrugated cardboard. Bubble wrap can be dropped at supermarket carrier-bag collection points. Alternatively, list your used boxes on Gumtree or Freecycle where local movers will snap them up. Our cardboard recycled-content claim is aligned with the [WRAP packaging guidance](https://wrap.ngo/) — the UK's canonical recycling-standards body.
See our disposal and recycling service and complete moving day guide for more sustainable moving tips.
How to Pack Like a Professional Removal Crew
Our crews have packed thousands of homes across the UK. These are the rules they follow every time.
The Seven Golden Rules:
Heavy items at the bottom of the box, lighter items on top — never pack books and bedding together
Fill every gap with scrunched packing paper to stop items shifting in transit
Never overfill boxes — a box you cannot close flat will not stack safely
H-seal tape on every box bottom before you start filling, and on the top seam when done
Wrap every individual fragile item before placing it in a china barrel or cushioned box
Label two sides of every box — room name and a brief contents list (e.g. "Kitchen — mugs and glasses")
Pack a moving-day essentials box last: kettle, tea bags, phone charger, toilet roll, a change of clothes
Room-by-room packing tips:
Kitchen
use china barrel boxes for plates (stack them vertically, not flat), double-wrap glasses, seal all liquids in zip-lock bags inside a small box
Bedroom
wardrobe boxes for moving let hanging clothes go in on the rail, arriving crease-free at the other end; use mattress bags for every mattress
Living room
TV boxes for flat-screens, foam wrap then bubble wrap for artwork and picture frames
Bathroom
decant half-empty bottles, seal lids with tape, pack upright in small boxes
Home office
anti-static bubble wrap for monitors, hard drives, and servers; label cables before disconnecting

Frequently Asked Questions
Use small (book) boxes for heavy items like books and tins. Medium boxes suit kitchen items and crockery. Large and extra-large boxes are for lightweight bulky items only. Never fill a large box with heavy items. The base will give way under the weight.
50-70 boxes typically covers a 3-bed house. Large kitchens or home offices push that to 70-80. Our 3-bed kit (£95) includes 50 boxes, 50m bubble wrap, 5kg packing paper, 6 tape rolls, 2 wardrobe boxes, and mattress bags.

Flatten the boxes and place them with your household cardboard recycling. Virtually all UK councils accept corrugated cardboard kerbside. Take bubble wrap to a supermarket carrier-bag collection point. Or offer used boxes on Freecycle or Gumtree.
Wrap each item individually in packing paper first. Add a layer of bubble wrap for impact protection. Pack items upright in a china barrel and fill all gaps with scrunched paper. Apply FRAGILE labels on all four sides and the top. Never leave air gaps. Or book our packing service and we guarantee every item we pack.
Yes. Our packing supplies shop is open to everyone. Order online for home delivery. Or add packing materials to a removal booking for free moving-day delivery with your crew.
Bubble wrap gives air-cushion impact protection. It is ideal for glassware, ceramics, and electronics. Foam wrap prevents surface scratches. It is thinner and lighter than bubble wrap. For maximum protection, apply foam wrap directly against the item and use bubble wrap as the outer layer.
Order at least one week before you start packing. Most people begin non-essential rooms 2-3 weeks before moving day. Leave everyday items like bedding, kitchen essentials, and bathroom supplies for the final 48 hours.
Yes. All packing supplies are available in bulk at a discount. Our pre-built kits bundle moving boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape, and specialist boxes at 15-20% below individual prices. Need a custom quantity for an office move or multiple properties? Contact us for a trade quote.
