Moving Box Estimate
Box Estimation Method
Estimates are based on average household density per room. A fully packed bedroom generates roughly 10–15 boxes. A kitchen with full contents generates 15–25 boxes depending on how much cookware you own.
Box sizes:
- Small (1.5 cu ft): books, tools, heavy items
- Medium (3 cu ft): pots, small appliances, toys
- Large (4.5 cu ft): linens, pillows, light items
- Wardrobe (13 cu ft): hanging clothes
Packed weight rule: small ~50 lb max, medium ~65 lb, large ~70 lb.
