Small Boxes

For heavy, dense items like books, canned goods, and tools — keeping these in small boxes keeps them liftable.

Medium Boxes

For kitchen items, small appliances, and general household items.

12

Large Boxes

For light, bulky items like linens, pillows, and decor — safe in large boxes because they stay lightweight.
