Moving your home or office is never a fun job for anyone, and packing the items is one of the scariest chores for many. While packing you must make sure that everything you pack is safe and secure enough to make it to the new location. Make your life smoother by choosing the right moving boxes. Not only will the right boxes save time but will also give you the peace of mind that everything will survive the trip.
Plastic is a better packing material than cardboard
Choosing the right moving boxes to make the journey means choosing the right size and boxes made of the right material. Although cardboard has long been thought a safe way to box up moving items, Plastic is much more durable and can offer many benefits over cardboard.
Why plastic boxes and not cardboard boxes?
- Water or moisture can easily tear apart a cardboard box. Many times the contents inside the cardboard boxes get ruined when bottoms give out due to moisture. Plastic has an edge here. It stays unaffected by water. This makes it ideal for protecting electronics, important papers and other valuable contents from moisture.
- Cardboard boxes get crushed easily, when carrying, stacking and transporting items in them. Plastic offers a more strong construction to prevent crushing and to protect the items packed inside.
- Environmentally friendly plastic moving boxes can be used over and over. Re-use of plastic moving boxes saves on trees used to make cardboard that is often thrown away after the move.
