Moving Box

Go for Box Quality

Moving is a big deal and quality matters, which is why you're renting with Penske. Cheap moving boxes, such as used boxes from behind the grocery store are often the first thought when gathering your moving supplies. Unfortunately, all boxes aren't created equal. Used or very inexpensive boxes may not be well suited for the task and may cause more aggravation than the savings are worth.

Moving boxes designed specifically for moving are a cost-effective, safer choice. They're clean, engineered to be crush-resistant, sized for efficient packing, perfect for stacking, labeling and are engineered to protect your belongings.

Plus, ordering your moving boxes online for delivery to your door or pick up from your Penske truck rental location is convenient, leaving one less thing to worry about during your move.

How to Evaluate Good Boxes

Moving boxes are designed with crush strength in mind. The thicker the cardboard, the higher the crush resistance and the less likely the box is going to crush under pressure and during your move. Penske recommends boxes have a 32 ECT (edge crust test) or higher rating. All moving boxes available through Penske and our partners meet that rating.

Box Buying Tips

Penske offers a variety of ways to find small, medium, large and wardrobe-sized moving boxes

  • Order your boxes online
  • Order moving boxes to pick up from a Penske truck rental pick up location while you're reserving your truck online
  • Stop by a local Penske rental location and purchase your moving supplies when you're ready to start packing

How Many Boxes Do I Need?

Every room and every home is different but below is a good guide for estimating how many boxes you'll need to pack most standard rooms.

Remember, any unused boxes can be returned for a full refund, so don't worry about ordering a few extra.

Each bedroom

  • 1 wardrobe box
  • 6 medium boxes
  • 4 large boxes

Kitchen

  • 4 small boxes
  • 6 medium boxes

Standard residential room (other than bedroom or kitchen)

  • 10 medium boxes
  • 5 large boxes

Be sure to keep your specific needs in mind as you use this guide. For instance, a study or home office will require small boxes for books and file boxes for files; packing your dining room will require more medium boxes and bubble wrap for fragile items.
