People sometimes try to pack their belongings in used boxes to save money. Beware. Do you really know where those boxes have been? Produce and other boxes often become weakened from moisture of transportation or product spoilage. Additionally, insects often nest in used boxes.
Use clear packing tape only - Make sure to seal your boxes with clear packing tape. Duct tape doesn't adhere well to corrugated cardboard. Boxes put together with duct tape will fall apart.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® offers a wide selection of competitively priced moving boxes and packing supplies including packing tape, packing paper, markers, paper moving pads, bubble wrap and stretch wrap, and more.
We'll give you a full refund for any boxes you don't use. Remember as you pack — the heavier the item, the smaller the box.
