How many boxes do you actually need?

The list below is how our packing crews estimate a job: heavy things in small boxes, light things in large, closets on hangers. Pick your home size and get a real shopping list.

Get boxes & supplies Or let us pack

Two rules save the most damage: never put books in a large box, and never put glassware in anything but a dish pack. Everything else is labeling — by room, on the side of the box, where a stack doesn't hide it. The packing tips guide covers technique; the supplies page covers where to get the boxes; and if the whole list looks like a lost weekend, the crews pack houses for a living.

Rather skip the packing entirely?
