Yes its true that moving boxes are tough and will protect the content that you place within them very well. That’s not to say that using additional cardboard boxes within your moving boxes is a bad idea.
Using these additional cardboard boxes in your current moving boxes can provide you with 2 things:
1) Added protection to the item or items you have placed inside your moving boxes from other items in the box.
2) Keeping your items neat and contained in one place, because during your move items do sometimes move around in the box.
You can find cardboard boxes of all shapes and sizes in your home to use, all you have to do is be creative and look. Some easy ideas to get you thinking are:
1) Cereal boxes or other snacks like crackers or chips
1 a) Pringle chip cans
1 b) Mcdonald Happy Meal box
1 c) Pizza box (make sure its clean)
2) Sneaker boxes
3) Shoe boxes
4) Cardboard boxes of soda fridge packs
5) Packages in mail
6) Cigar boxes
7) Gift boxes
8) Empty cardboard cases of fruit
9) Electronic boxes
10) Empty toy packages
Just remember most of these cardboard boxes are designed to look pretty and not provide maximum protection, so be sure to use them with additional moving supplies such as bubble wrap and packing paper if the content you place within them is valuable.
