How to Safely Pack Large Moving Boxes: A Comprehensive Guide

Moving can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to packing large boxes. Properly packing these boxes is crucial to ensure that your belongings arrive at your new home in one piece. In this article, we will guide you through the process of safely packing large moving boxes, including what to pack in them and how to tape them securely.

Choosing the Right Large Moving Boxes

Before you begin packing, it’s important to select the right boxes. Look for sturdy, high-quality boxes with Edge Crush Test, ECT, of 32 or higher designed for moving. Large boxes are ideal for lightweight, bulky items, but avoid overloading them to prevent damage.

Recommended Box Sizes:

Large Boxes: Best for bedding, pillows, and lightweight clothing.

Extra-Large Boxes: Suitable for larger items like blankets, toys, and comforters.

What to Pack in Large Boxes

When packing large boxes, consider the following items:

Recommended Items to Pack in Large Moving Boxes:

Bedding and Linens: Blankets, sheets, and towels can be packed together to save space.
Clothing: Folded clothes or items that can be compressed, such as jackets and sweaters.
Lightweight Kitchen Items: Plastic containers, dishware, and small appliances (avoid heavy items).
Toys and Games: Soft toys and board games can fill up space without adding too much weight.
Decorative Items: Non-fragile decorations, such as cushions and fabric wall hangings.

Items to Avoid Packing in Large Moving Boxes:

Heavy Items: Avoid packing heavy books or tools in large boxes, as they can become too heavy to lift.
Fragile Items: Save delicate items like glassware and ceramics for smaller, padded boxes.

Packing Techniques

Step-by-Step Packing Process for Large Moving Boxes:

Prepare the Box: Start by assembling the box. Make sure to fold the bottom flaps securely and tape them down with strong packing tape.
Layer the Bottom: Add a layer of packing material (bubble wrap, packing paper, or old blankets) at the bottom of the box for cushioning.
Pack Strategically:
- Heavier Items First - If you must include heavier items, place them at the bottom of the box to maintain balance.
- Fill Gaps: Use packing paper or bubble wrap to fill any gaps between items. This prevents shifting during transit.

Avoid Overpacking:

Leave some space at the top of the box to allow for cushioning. Overpacking can lead to damage.

Seal the Box:

Once packed, close the flaps securely and use tape to seal the box. Make sure to apply at least three strips of tape along the seams and edges.

Tape Large Boxes Securely

Properly taping your boxes is crucial for ensuring they remain closed during transport. Here’s how to tape large boxes securely:

Taping Technique:

Use Correct Packing Tape: Select a strong, durable packing tape designed for moving. Avoid using duct tape or masking tape, as they may not hold up under stress.
Tape the Seams:

- Apply tape along the center seam where the flaps meet.

- Use a “H” pattern by applying tape along the center and side seams for added security.

Reinforce the Corners: For extra support, add tape to the corners of the box, which are often the first areas to give way under pressure.
Label the Box: After taping, label the box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will make unpacking easier and help you identify fragile items.

Final Tips for Packing Large Boxes

Stay Organized: Keep a list of what you’ve packed in each box. This will help you track your items during the move.
Use Color-Coded Labels: Consider using uBoxes color-coded Moving Labels for different rooms. This will streamline the unpacking process at your new home.
Ask for Help: If possible, enlist friends or family to help with packing. More hands make the process faster and less stressful.
