Quick Answer
Moving & Relocation Packaging at a Glance
The right moving box depends on what's going in it. Heavier contents call for smaller boxes, bulky-but-light items fill larger ones, and the mix of sizes matters more than any single box.
Kitchen & Fragile
Mid-Size Cartons
Mid-range boxes suit dishes, glassware and small appliances when packed with appropriate wrapping and limited movement inside the carton.
Bedding & Bulky Items
Large & Oversized Cartons
Larger boxes carry light, bulky contents like linens, pillows, lampshades and clothing without pushing the packed weight past what's comfortable to lift.
Office Relocation
Uniform Carton Sizes
Standardizing on one or two carton sizes keeps office moves stackable on dollies and elevators, and makes labelling and room-by-room unpacking simpler.
Moving Companies
Bulk Packaging Supply
Movers and relocation services can order by the bundle or in larger quantities, with volume pricing and flat-shipped cartons that store compactly between jobs.
Storage
Stackable Storage Cartons
Uniform corrugated cartons stack cleanly in storage units and warehouses, and consistent sizing helps loads stay stable over longer storage periods.
Packed weight matters as much as box size. A common guideline is keeping most packed cartons under roughly 20 kg (about 44 lb) so they can be lifted and carried safely. Put heavier contents in smaller boxes and save the large cartons for light, bulky items.
Choosing Moving Boxes
How to Choose the Right Moving Box
Start with what's going in the box, not the box itself. Packed weight, the mix of sizes across the whole move, and how long boxes will sit in storage all matter more than any single carton choice.
01
Match Box Size to Packed Weight
The heavier the contents, the smaller the box should be. Books, tools and dishes belong in compact cartons that stay liftable; bedding, clothing and lampshades fill large cartons without the packed weight getting out of hand.
02
One Size or a Mix?
Households generally pack better with a mix of sizes. Offices, movers and storage operations often benefit from standardizing on one or two sizes instead, so packed cartons stack uniformly on dollies, in trucks and in units.
03
Single Wall or Double Wall?
Single wall corrugated handles most household and office moves. Double wall may be appropriate for heavier contents, taller stacks in storage, or cartons that will be packed, moved and reused across multiple jobs.
04
Plain Box or Printed Box?
Plain corrugated does the job for one-off moves. For moving companies, printed cartons put your logo and contact details in front of the customer for weeks after the move, on every box they unpack.

Moving & Relocation FAQ
Common Questions About Moving Boxes
Quick answers about box sizes, quantities, strength, bulk supply for movers and GTA delivery.
What size moving box should I use for books, dishes or clothing?
Match the box size to the packed weight, not the other way around. Dense contents like books and dishes belong in compact cartons that stay liftable. Light, bulky contents like clothing, bedding and lampshades suit large and oversized cartons.
Browse all box sizes to compare dimensions across the four ranges.
How many boxes do I need for a move?
It depends on how much you own and how densely you pack, so treat any number as a starting point. A one-bedroom move often lands somewhere in the range of 20 to 40 cartons, a larger family home well beyond that, with a mix weighted toward mid-size boxes.
Since cartons ship flat and store compactly, ordering a bundle more than your estimate is usually cheaper than a second trip mid-pack.
Should moving boxes be single wall or double wall?
Single wall corrugated handles most household and office moves. Double wall can provide additional strength for heavier contents, taller stacks in storage, or cartons that will be reused across multiple jobs.
Do you offer bulk pricing for moving companies?
Yes. Movers and relocation services can order by the bundle or in larger quantities, with volume pricing as quantities grow. Cartons ship flat and store compactly between jobs, which suits recurring supply for moving operations.
Request bulk mover pricing with your monthly volumes and the sizes you use most.
Can you print our moving company's logo on the boxes?
Yes. Custom printed cartons are available for qualifying made-to-order projects. Printing can include your logo, contact details and handling marks, so your brand stays in front of the customer on every box they unpack.
Do you supply moving boxes throughout the GTA?
Prime Carton supplies corrugated moving boxes throughout the Greater Toronto Area. This includes Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan and surrounding communities, with same-day pickup available at our Scarborough facility.
