Box Information

Why is box strength important?
The strength of a corrugated box can vary: The stronger the box, the greater the protection for its contents. Professional movers use moving boxes that are at least 32 ECT (or 200 lb test) in strength. These ratings are based on box industry standards, and help ensure that your household belongings will arrive safely. Weaker boxes may crush more easily.

How do you know how strong a box is?
All boxes have a certificate seal printed on the bottom flap by the manufacturer certifying the box's strength and the capacity in weight that the box is designed to handle. Industry standard moving boxes are 200 lb test weight or 32 ECT. Larger boxes like wardrobes or kitchen dish pack boxes should have a higher test weight/strength. Make sure to check box strength before you make a purchase to make sure they are adequate for your needs.

Is it okay to use used boxes for moving?
The more a box is used, the more it is exposed to wear and tear making it more susceptible to breakage. To ensure box integrity, it's safest to use new boxes.
