There’s nothing wrong with a good ol’ fashioned cardboard moving box. Our Wilmington movers use them all the time! But we can’t lie — we love when our customers incorporate reusable storage totes into their move.
Advantages of Reusable Totes
Greater Strength
It’s easier to overfill a cardboard box than people think. It’s not uncommon for us to encounter boxes that are packed to their max capacity — which is fine if everything inside is very lightweight! But most people don’t consider weight when they are packing a box. And if the contents are too heavy, the bottom of the box may fall out. Reusable storage totes are much stronger than cardboard boxes, so they are able to accommodate far more weight, making packing easier for you.
Weather Resistant
Cardboard boxes can fall apart if they become wet due to rain or snow. Not to mention the fact that your items inside would be wet, too! As Wilmington movers, we love that reusable storage totes are almost entirely waterproof. A little rain isn’t going to harm them, so you know your belongings are dry and safe.
Easy to Stack
Reusable storage totes are designed to stack well on top of each other. While cardboard boxes may result in an unsteady stack, the bottom of each reusable tote fits into the top of another, providing greater stability. Our Wilmington movers don’t have any problems keeping stacks of cardboard boxes secure, but the stackability of reusable totes is definitely a bonus!
No Assembly Required
Another perk of reusable storage totes is that they don’t need to be assembled at all! Cardboard boxes come flat, so they need to be folded into their upright position and taped. Using reusable totes saves time (and tape!) so your packing process is shorter.
