Expert Packing Tip: Use the Smallest Box Possible to Prevent Breakage During Your Move

Moving to a new home can be exciting, but packing fragile items often leads to stress and potential damage. As experienced movers in Simpsonville, SC, Friendly Moving shares a simple yet effective tip: always use the smallest box possible for most items, reserving larger boxes only for those that truly won’t fit in smaller ones. This strategy minimizes breakage and makes your move smoother.

Why does box size matter? Smaller boxes limit space for items to shift during transport, reducing the risk of collisions and cracks. They’re also lighter, easier to carry, and less likely to be dropped by movers or during loading. Heavy, oversized boxes can strain handlers and cause bottoms to give way, leading to disasters. By packing smartly—wrapping items in bubble wrap or paper and filling gaps with padding—you create stable loads that stack securely in trucks.
