Oh moving box, how we both love and loath you. We all have to move someday, and so we all need moving boxes at some point. Here are two different options and when they work best.

Quick tip: Tips on moving boxes

Your standard corrugated box, which is what most of us simply call a cardboard box, can vary in strength depending on how many layers of lining they have. Always check how sturdy a box is before loading it with stuff. These boxes are easy to come by and are great for moves and short-term storage.

Another popular option is plastic boxes. These bins are a great option for long-term storage because they can be sealed to keep out dust and pests. They are sturdy and easy to stack, but it is also possible to crack them if handled roughly.
