Our hard eco-friendly plastic boxes are waterproof, crushproof, clean and sanitized. They also have an easy grip handle, come with free labels and zip ties, and can hold up to 2 times more than cardboard moving boxes.

The boxes may be free but you do not know what has been in there before. Cardboard boxes can trap dirt, bed bugs, pet dander, chemicals or bacteria that you do not want to transfer onto your clothes, linens, and personal items! And do you really want to spend hours of hassle with finding, picking-up, building, breaking, and then disposing of cardboard boxes. Collecting cardboard boxes is not as easy as it sounds. Either you're going to be dumpster diving in the back of grocery stores or driving to the home of a stranger you found on Craigslist. And Did we mention they don’t have handles? We could go on, but you get our point!

• Absolutely! Here are five ways you'll save:
  
  

1. A SMART MOVE moving boxes are much stronger than cardboard so you'll be able to pack more in our boxes without worrying about the bottom falling out. This means you'll need fewer boxes.
2. If you value your time and would rather NOT spend hours gathering, building, breaking, and disposing of cardboard boxes, our moving boxes are delivered to you ready to be packed, saving you hours of valuable time.
3. A SMART MOVE moving boxes have self attached lids which means you won't need to spend extra money on rolls of packing tape. Our boxes don’t need tape. Just close the interlocking lids and you're done.
4. A SMART MOVE moving boxes are designed to uniformly stack on top of one another making it super easy for movers to wheel them in and out of your home/office and into a moving truck. With movers charging an average of $150/hr, even shaving just 1 hour off the total move time will have the boxes pay for themselves. 
5. Our green moving boxes are being reused time and time again allowing us to pass those savings onto you. Avoid the additional cost associated with purchasing cardboard boxes. 

A SMART MOVE moving boxes come in two sizes: Our standard green moving box comes in 27 inches long by 17 inches wide by 12 inches high and our small gray moving box, designed for packing books and delicate items comes in 21 inches long by 15 inches wide by 12 inches high. Both sizes have been ergonomic designed to make our eco-friendly moving boxes easier to stack and pack into a moving van or truck. 

• Our standard green moving box can hold between 40-50lbs and have approximately 3.2 cubic feet of storage

• Our small gray moving box can hold between 30-40lbs and have approximately 2.2 cubic feet of storage

Our cleaning crew thoroughly cleans and sanitizes each moving box by hand after each use, to get them ready for the next happy customer. Used cardboard boxes can contain bugs, dirt, rodent droppings and bacteria. Even new cardboard retains water and moisture, making it a breeding ground for insects and bacteria. Our moving boxes are made from heavy duty plastic, which is dense, durable, waterproof and very bug-unfriendly.

Here’s a quick rundown on how to put together a wardrobe box.

1. To assemble the wardrobe box, first hold the box bottom side up. Fold the short flaps down first, followed by the larger flaps. Secure the cardboard flaps with packing tape.
2. Next, flip the box over so that the bottom is now on the floor and the top flaps are open at the top.
3. Secure the ends of the hanger bar inside the cut outs located on the top crease of the box. The hanger bar should pop right into these cut outs without a problem.
4. After the hanger bar is secured to the box, you can begin hanging your clothes inside the wardrobe box. Each hanger bar should be able to hang eight or more pieces of clothing on hangers.
5. Once you’ve finished hanging your clothes inside the box, close the two longer flaps on top. These pieces should have a cut out in the middle.
6. Next, take the two shorter flaps and bend the outside edges (these should be cut out) down. As you close these flaps on top of the box, the bent pieces should fit perfectly into the middle center cut out. Secure the last top piece with packing tape.
