Tips for College Packing Using Collegeboxes
If you’re overwhelmed with everything you have, it might be a good time to clean out your closet. This will allow you to pack quickly and ensure you only pack what you will use.
Wondering what fits in a Collegebox? Our boxes were designed to fit many items:
- Clothing
- Bedding
- Towels
- Trash can
- Office Supplies
- Textbooks
One box can fit seven pairs of jeans, ten t-shirts, three sweatshirts, bedding, towels, AND a trash can. The key is to make use of your space.
Maximize space by filling the box up to the crease at the top, as shown in the picture on the left below. Don’t go over the crease line; this allows the flaps to come together and be securely taped shut.
Pro Tip:
For instance, remember to keep in mind the amount you are packing. Make sure to keep the weight of items packed under 70 pounds.
Although college packing can initially seem daunting, it doesn’t have to be when you pack smart. With Collegeboxes, you just have to pack it up, and we’ll take care of shipping it to school for move-in day, picking it up on the move-out day, and storing it over breaks.
