Which types of boxes do I need for my move?
Get a wide variety of boxes so you can pack each one with the proper type of items. Save the lighter things for the larger boxes, and vice versa. If you pack your boxes too heavily, your movers are more likely to handle them roughly. The types of boxes you’ll need to make a successful move include:
- Small. Place your heaviest items in smaller boxes so they’re easier to carry. Small boxes are good for books, papers, small appliances, jewelry boxes, and bathroom items. About 16” x 12” x 12”.
- Medium. Good for heavier, larger things such as small lamps, electronics, kitchenware, office supplies, and framed photos. Smaller decor items usually fit in medium boxes. About 18” x 16” x 18”.
- Large. Surround larger decor pieces with blankets, towels, pillows, and comforters. Clothes and shoes too. Packing a large box with heavy pieces makes it difficult to carry. About 18” x 18” x 24”.
- Extra large. Use for oversized or large objects that aren’t heavy, such as lamps, floor decorations, artwork and curtain rods. These boxes will be stacked on top of others. About 24” x 20” x 24”.
- Specialty. These include wardrobe, dish-pack, and TV boxes. You’ll get about two feet of clothing into a wardrobe box. Dish packs can handle up to 100 pounds. TV boxes are sized to fit the item.

How many boxes do I need to move successfully?
Believe it or not, you probably need more than 100 boxes to pack your four-bedroom home for transport. That includes around 40 small boxes, 35 medium boxes, 20 large boxes, and a dozen extra-large boxes. For a three-bedroom home, subtract about five boxes from each style for a total of 80 boxes. Add five boxes per style to pack a five-bedroom home, a total of around 120 boxes.
It takes 10 small boxes, 10 medium boxes, and five large boxes, plus a couple extra large, to pack a studio apartment. You can get by with around 40 boxes to pack a one-bedroom home, which includes 15 small boxes, 15 medium boxes, and seven large boxes. Move a two-bedroom house using about 20 small boxes, 20 medium boxes, and 10 large boxes. If you’re smart, you’ll use wardrobe boxes, dish-pack boxes, and TV boxes to protect your specialty items during transit.
Pick Our Long Distance Packers to Prepare Your Possessions for Travel
The first thing your packing crew manager does is walk through your house with your list of items to ship. We reconcile your list with the work we see in front of us before we begin packing. Boxes are packed, stuffed, taped, and labeled with location. Your long-distance movers can pack your goods before they load them, or we can send a crew in beforehand to package your possessions. Talk to your friendly American Van Lines agent to figure out which long-distance packing plan works best for you.
You’re charged a set fee for long-distance packing. Your cost depends on your volume of goods. Stage your possessions for packing by unplugging electronics, removing items from walls, and disassembling computers. We hesitate to perform those tasks because they can result in damages. Once your items are free for us to grab, we’ll begin packing them for your interstate move. If you value your time and possessions as highly as we do, you’ll give American Van Lines a call today to discuss our professional cross-country packing services.
Will professional packers unbox my goods?
Yes, you can hire professional packers to unbox your goods at your new home. Most moving crews will unbox your possessions for an extra fee. They’ll even dispose of the boxes, packaging, and other debris from your move. When compared with the initial packing process, unboxing your possessions is a breeze. It takes less time and costs less than the boxing process. Movers prefer to deliver all your possessions to your new home before they begin unpacking. If your boxes are labeled properly, your goods will be taken to the room where they’ll reside after unpacking. You also can schedule a team of professional unpackers to come to your home after you’ve moved in. The scheduled unpacking team works well for people who move themselves but don’t have time to unpack before they begin their new jobs.

Do commercial movers unpack my boxes and set up my office equipment?
Yes, most commercial movers will unpack your boxes at your new location for an extra fee. Depending upon your agreement, most movers will reassemble any furniture, including cubicles and L-shaped desks, which they broke down for transport at no extra charge. Your movers should protect your office furniture from scratches by covering them with cloth blankets. They also should place your boxed-up office equipment in the location that’s written on the outside of the box.
You’ll have to set up your office equipment on your own, however. Most business movers are reluctant to hook up your business electronics due to liability concerns. They don’t want to pay if your equipment breaks or doesn’t work. Likewise, commercial movers and packers don’t like removing items like bookshelves and artwork for office walls. The process carries the likelihood of wall damage, and your movers don’t have the time, skills, or material to fix it. For the same reason, movers are hesitant to install any equipment that involves creating a hole in a wall.
