Best moving boxes and packing supplies

Start with the U-Haul Apartment Moving Kit — a balanced mix of box sizes from a brand movers actually trust, with tape and packing supplies in the box, so you're not assembling a kit piece by piece.

Who the others suit:

• Small place or a first pass: the UBMOVE Basic kit or the Uboxes 15-box combo with labels — cheap way to get boxes and tape on the table.
• Books and heavy items: the U-Haul book box kit — small, double-wall-style cubes you can actually lift.
• Just boxes, your own quantities: Pen+Gear medium boxes in a 10-pack.
• A whole house: the 3–4 room, 6–7 room or 9-room wardrobe kits — wardrobe boxes save you from folding everything.
• Fragile-heavy moves: the 98-piece family kit, which throws in the wrap and paper.

Whatever you pick, buy more small boxes than you think and tape up the bottom seams twice.
