How many boxes do you need for your move?

Enter your home size and household size to calculate how many boxes you need and estimate your packing costs.

Your household

The estimate uses home size, number of adults and household belongings as guidelines. It is for orientation only; your actual needs may vary.

Compare box types

Which boxes suit which items?

These dimensions are examples of individual products. Check size, load capacity, availability and delivery costs with the supplier before buying.

Book boxes are shown here only for size comparison and are not an additional item in the automatic estimate. You can adjust the quantity of standard boxes in the cost breakdown if needed.

Four packing tips

Distribute the weight

Books and dishes quickly make boxes heavy. Pack small amounts together with light items such as clothing.

Protect fragile items

Wrap delicate items individually in packing or tissue paper. If you use newspaper, be aware that ink may transfer. Mark the box as fragile.

Do not overload

Do not fill heavy boxes to the brim, and make sure they can still be carried comfortably.

Label the destination room

Write the destination room on each box. For borrowed boxes, write on tape on top to avoid marking the cardboard. Check the return conditions.
