4 Reasons to Use Custom Packing Boxes

December 4, 2008 by admin

If you’ve ever seen a moving and shipping company offer custom packing boxes, you may have wondered why anyone would need such a thing. After all, boxes are everywhere. You can get them for free at the grocery store or local boutique. The post office gives them away by the bundle. Why would someone buy custom packing boxes?

There are four great reasons to use custom packing boxes.

Reason #1: Custom packing boxes minimize breakage in transit

There’s nothing worse than opening a box only to find yourself facing a spiky collection of broken pieces. This often happens because objects were shipped in a box that was too large, allowing the item to shift in transit and thereby be damaged; conversely, a box that’s too small doesn’t allow adequate space for packing materials to protect the contents. Custom packing boxes are just the right size.

Reason #2: Custom packing boxes save money

Shippers charge by the size of the package being transported. Using custom packing boxes allows you to only pay for the size box you absolutely need. Save your hard earned money for something wonderful — not for shipping oversized boxes!

Reason #3: Custom packing boxes save space

Generally, one only orders the amount of custom packing boxes one needs: there’s no need to store extra boxes. Compare this to the post office, which provides standard size boxes in bundles of 25. If you only need 5 boxes, what are you going to do with the extra 20?

Reason #4: Custom packing boxes enhance your professional image

How do you want your customers to view their order? If it arrives in a recycled liquor bottle, you’re not going to win any points for professionalism! Using custom packing boxes denotes that you’re a serious business, with products and services well worth the money.

"In August, my 83-year-old father fell down the cellar stairs and broke his elbow. Following elbow replacement surgery in Boston he was transferred to skilled nursing care in West Bridgewater. Unfortunately, the injury left him unable to maintain his own household. My husband and I made the decision to move him to our home in California. My time frame was incredibly short - 11 days till departure via airplane to CA. I needed to pack and ship whatever items would be going to CA. We would not be moving the entire household - just several paintings, memorabilia, clothing and a large full keyboard electronic piano. After calling several moving companies that required large weight minimums to bid the job, I was referred to Joe Fell at Boston Pack and Ship.

Joe was absolutely wonderful. He calmly explained the shipping options available through Boston Pack and Ship and they could definitely handle the job. Joe helped me locate appropriately sized shipping boxes so that I could pack things up myself, thereby saving money. He also stayed in constant contact with me via phone and email, coaching me through the shipping process. We scheduled pickup nine days after my arrival in MA. Joe became an instant friend to me throughout this extremely stressful time. His caring nature made this difficult move a great deal easier. I am very grateful to have found this wonderful company. "

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
