One of the most common questions people ask when planning a move is: How many moving boxes do I actually need?
The answer depends on the size of your home, how much you own, and how you prefer to pack. Having too few boxes can slow down your move, while having too many can mean paying for boxes you do not need.
At Rent A Box Express, we make it easier to choose the right number of reusable moving boxes for your move in Regina.
A Simple Moving Box Guide
Here is a general starting point:
Studio or Small Apartment
For a studio apartment or a smaller move, 15 moving boxes may be enough.
This is a good option if you have a limited amount of clothing, kitchen items, books, and household belongings.
Our Starter Package begins with 15 reusable moving boxes.
1-Bedroom Home or Apartment
A one-bedroom home may require approximately 20 to 30 boxes, depending on how much you own.
If you have a larger kitchen, plenty of books, or additional storage areas, choosing a few extra boxes can make packing easier.
2-Bedroom Home
For many two-bedroom homes, approximately 30 to 45 moving boxes can be a practical starting point.
Remember that closets, kitchens, bathrooms, and storage areas often require more boxes than expected.
3-Bedroom Home
A three-bedroom home may require 45 to 60 or more moving boxes.
The exact amount will depend on the number of people in the household and how much has accumulated over time.
Larger Homes
Larger moves may require 60 to 100 boxes or more.
Rent A Box Express allows customers to select the number of boxes they need, from 15 to 100 boxes in increments of 5.
What Affects the Number of Moving Boxes You Need?
The number of bedrooms is only a starting point.
You may need more boxes if you have:
- A large kitchen
- Many books
- Children’s toys
- Garage or basement storage
- Home office supplies
- Seasonal decorations
- Clothing stored in several closets
- Collections or hobby equipment
Decluttering before packing can significantly reduce the number of boxes you need.
Why Reusable Moving Boxes Can Make Packing Easier
Traditional cardboard boxes often need to be assembled, taped, reinforced, and broken down after your move.
Reusable plastic moving boxes arrive ready to pack.
With Rent A Box Express, you can:
- Skip assembling cardboard boxes
- Avoid buying rolls of packing tape just to build boxes
- Use sturdy, stackable moving boxes
- Have your boxes delivered
- Have them picked up when your rental is finished
That means less time preparing boxes and more time focusing on your move.
Should You Order Extra Moving Boxes?
It is usually better to have a few extra boxes available than to run out halfway through packing.
Customers can select quantities from 15 to 100 boxes, increasing in increments of 5.
If you realize you need additional boxes during your rental, contact Rent A Box Express. Additional boxes may be available depending on inventory.
