Packing Tips Provided by Alpha Moving & Storage
Welcome back to the new series of posts from the Alpha Moving and Storage blog. In this second part of our ‘Most Useful Tips for Packing’ guide, we’ll take a look at the various types of boxes available for Alpha Moving and Storage Customers.
Getting to Know Various Types and Sizes of Boxes
Familiarizing yourself with the various box types will help you plan the packing process and make it easier. Here is a short guide for some of the most commonly used box types, all available from Alpha Moving and Storage.
Book Boxes
Book boxes are intended for the packing of small items, such as CD collections and books. Book boxes are small and easy to carry. Size wise- they are about one and a half cubic feet.
Medium Sized Boxes
Medium sized boxes are three cubic feet. These are normally used for the packing of small appliances, toys, canned food and other items that are not too heavy. Medium sized boxes are also used for the packing of small appliances.
Dish Packs
Dish packs are particularly sturdy and have a double cardboard wall. They are intended for the packing of breakable items such as dishes, china and glassware.
Wardrobe Boxes
Wardrobe boxes are shoulder-high and have a metal hanger in the middle. You can use wardrobe boxes to pack your coats, shirts and so on. Shoes can be placed at the bottom of the box.
Mirror Boxes
As the name implies, mirror boxes are flat boxes that are intended for the packing of paintings, mirrors and so forth.
Mattress Boxes
Again, the name pretty much says it all. Mattress boxes are intended for the packing of mattresses and box springs. A separate mattress box is required for each box spring and each mattress.
Alpha Moving and Storage provides box delivery services and stocks all box sizes and types detailed above.

The Alpha Moving team was professional, efficient, and handled my belongings with great care. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and made the entire … More moving process stress-free. Everything arrived in its original condition, and the pricing was fair with no hidden fees. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable moving service! -
Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!

We moved from one high-rise to another, which required coordinating elevator reservations and meeting tight deadlines, … More and they handled everything seamlessly. They were both friendly and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend working with them, and if we ever move again, I will 100% choose them.
