Moving to a new home involves a myriad of tasks, from sorting through belongings to packing them securely. At SureSafe Self Storage, we understand that determining the number of boxes needed for your move can be a daunting task. That’s why we’re here to provide some helpful insights to ensure your moving experience is as smooth as possible.
Assessing Your Needs
Before you begin gathering boxes, take some time to assess your situation. Consider the following factors:
- Size and Layout of Your Home: The number of rooms and overall square footage of your home are crucial factors in determining how many boxes you’ll need. Larger homes with more rooms will naturally require more boxes for packing.
- Duration of Residence: The longer you’ve lived in your current home, the more belongings you’re likely to have accumulated. Take this opportunity to declutter and donate or discard items you no longer need.
Choosing the Right Box Sizes
At SureSafe Self Storage, we offer a variety of box sizes to accommodate your belongings. Here’s a breakdown of our available options:
- Small and Medium Boxes: Perfect for kitchen items, books, photo albums, and cleaning supplies.
- Large Boxes: Ideal for larger bulky items such as clothing, bedding and shoes.
- Extra-Large Boxes: Designed for larger or fragile items that require extra protection.
Estimating Box Quantity

- 400 to 700 Square Feet:
- 7-15 small boxes or 9-15 medium boxes
- 6 large boxes or 3 extra-large boxes
- 700 to 1,250 Square Feet:
