Standard Moving Box Sizes:

• 1.5 Cubic Feet Small Box (16x12x12) – This box is ideal for packing smaller heavier items such as DVD’s, CD’s, Books and small collectibles. Smaller items that way a bit can be tough and dangerous to lift if packed into bigger boxes. Another drawback to packing small heavy items into larger boxes is that the box itself could fail and cause a big mess for you if it splits open and spills all over. We suggest that you use the Small Box for all of your small items.
