Use specialty boxes during your truck rental move for better protection for your dishes and other breakables. Dish pack boxes are fitted with special dividers that protect dishes.
If you think that all boxes are created equal, guess again. Boxes come in all different shapes and sizes, and no where is this more important when moving, especially when packing up your dishes and fragile items. These "fragile" items should be packed up in specialty boxes to help ensure that all of your breakables will arrive in one piece during your truck rental move. But just what are these specialty boxes? Find out below.
Dish boxes
Dish boxes (often called dish pack boxes) are specially designed to protect your dishes and glasses or any other breakable kitchen type article during your truck rental move. These types of boxes are fitted with special individual corrugated sleeves so that you can easily place each dish in its own compartment, which protects it against movement when transporting it in the truck rental vehicle. And some boxes even come with smaller protected areas that are great for packing glasses and other kitchen breakables. Most truck rental companies carry these specialty type boxes for purchase. You can also purchase these dish boxes at most packing type supply stores.
Mirror and picture boxes
If transporting mirrors and pictures during your truck rental move, you should purchase a number of mirror and picture boxes. These types of boxes are narrow and are specially fitted for the particular size of the mirror or picture. Unlike a normal box that comes in one complete piece, this type of box comes in two separate pieces that can be cut to the specific size that's needed. In other words, you don't have to worry about the mirror or picture sliding around in the box during the truck rental move. Some mirror and picture boxes even come with foam and a strap for further protection. Again, most truck rental companies carry these types of boxes. Just know that those mirror and picture boxes that are fitted with straps and foam protection cost more. But it might be worth it if you have valuable paintings and expensive mirrors to transport during your move. After all, you can't put a price on piece of mind.
