What size boxes should I use?
Size and Weight do matter
When packing your household items, always be conscious of the size and weight of the box. When packing fragile items, the smaller the better. This keeps breakables in a more compact state and the possibility of the items breaking against each other lessens. Companies like U-haul sell special boxes with separators for glasses and dishes. When packing awkward shaped items, combine small non-breakable items in this box to fill in the spaces. When packing books and papers, remember that although these items pack uniformly, they become heavy very quickly.
