No. We are not moving, but it is Spring cleaning time, isn’t it? I was excited to get the opportunity to try out some moving boxes to help me pack up our used homeschool curriculum. When I started homeschooling, I never really thought about how much I would accumulate. I find that I need to periodically pack up some of the books that we have finished, or the schoolroom overflows with books and papers.
SmoothMove has some great moving boxes of varying types. We tried out this regular moving box. It is a decent strength and includes lots of space to document what is placed in the box. I think my biggest gripe with most moving boxes is a lack of space to list items, but SmoothMove has handled this well. Oh! One more thing… See that tape gun in the picture? I’ve always gotten tape dispensers with the rolls of tape. This is my first actual professional tape gun, and I’m in love! Everyone needs one of these!
But where SmoothMove shines is in the FastFold box department! These boxes are awesome! I have moved MANY times during my life, and these are probably the easiest moving boxes I have ever used!
These boxes are SO easy to fold and have a lot of room to document what you have put in each box. It was easy to list everything that I put in the box because there is room on all four sides. Also, when I have moved in the past, I empty a box and flatten it for future use or recycling. To flatten the normal box, I have to grab a box-cutter and slice the tape. Yes, I have cut myself doing this before. Since the FastFold boxes don’t use tape, these boxes are easy to flatten, and I don’t have to slice my fingers. Plus, they can be reused! Win-Win!
Check out how easy these boxes are to fold!
