#### This is a handy guide covering which boxes are best to use for moving house.

Knowing which box to use is a key part of safely and easily packing and moving your belongings when you move house.

Using the wrong box could make it difficult for you or your removal company to lift the box safely, or, at worst, could increase the risk of damage to its contents.

At Bournes, we use specially designed packing boxes. You can download this guide to find out more about our approach.
