MOVING BOXES & PACKING SUPPLIES
Caspian Moving provides a wide range of affordable moving boxes and packing supplies, including tape, packing paper, markers, paper pads, bubble wrap, and stretch wrap (resist the urge to pop those bubbles until after your move!).
We also offer free local box delivery, and if you end up with extra boxes, we’ll give you a full refund — or you can keep them to build a fun fort for the kids!
A quick packing tip: the heavier the item, the smaller the box.
STANDARD MOVING BOXES
- 1.5 cubic foot moving box: The smallest box sold at Caspian Moving, it’s often referred to as the book or record box; best used for small heavy objects like books, records, cans, jars of food, utensils, flatware, shoes, etc.
- 3 cubic foot moving box: Referred to as the lamp or lampshade box; frequently used interchangeably with the 1.5 cubic foot box
- 4.5 cubic foot moving box: As the box gets larger, use for lighter objects such as pillows, bedding and stuffed animals
- 6 cubic foot box: Use for light objects; if you pack heavy items in this box it will be difficult to move

PACKING SUPPLIES
Packing paper/plain newsprint – used to wrap everyday items to prevent scratching; when crunched up it can be used as cushioning.
Tissue paper – softer than newsprint, used for wrapping very delicate items; also provides cushioning and fills in small spaces when packing fragile figurines and china.
Bubble wrap – plastic packing material made up of hundreds of tiny “air cushions” or bubbles used to over-wrap small, delicate items after they are wrapped in tissue; also helpful when wrapping larger fragile items such as lamps and pictures.
Pink anti-static bubble wrap – used to wrap electronics including stereos and computers. It is similar to traditional bubble wrap but does not cause static electricity. If traditional bubble wrap is used to pack these items, a static electric charge could be created, damaging the item.
Packing tape/sealing tape – plastic tape, 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) to 2 inches (5.08 cm) wide; best for packing, test to see if it ruins finish before taping up drawers and canisters.
Permanent marker – used to label boxes with contents and destination in new location; mark boxes “fragile” and “this side up” when appropriate.
Re-sealable plastic bags – used for nuts and bolts as you disassemble items, tape bag to the disassembled item.
