Check out the Collegeboxes Starter Kit, which contains the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 double-walled boxes (24 &#8220;x16&#8243; x18&#8221; 4.0 cu ft)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 marker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 roll of tape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 label pouches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 zip ties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for College\nPacking Using Collegeboxes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering what fits in a Collegebox? Our boxes were designed to fit many items: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clothing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bedding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Towels <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trash can <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office Supplies <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Textbooks <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maximize space by filling the box up to the crease at the top, as shown in the picture on the left below. Don&#8217;t go over the crease line; this allows the flaps to come together and be securely taped shut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/box-examples.jpg\" alt=\"college packing\" class=\"wp-image-45311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/box-examples.jpg 612w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/box-examples-300x130.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro Tip:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, remember to keep in mind the amount you are packing.
