Why our moving boxes beat cardboard

Moving house in Sheffield? Skip the hunt for cardboard boxes. Our plastic moving boxes turn up ready to pack and go back with us when you're done.

Arrive ready to pack

No folding, no tape, no flat-packs collapsing halfway down the stairs.

Strong and stackable

Lidded crates with a matching 600×400mm footprint, so the 45L and 65L sizes stack neatly in the van.

Weatherproof

Yorkshire rain won't soak through and ruin your belongings.

No waste

We collect the boxes afterwards. No mountain of cardboard to get rid of.

Easier on your back

Every bundle includes a platform dolly to wheel full boxes out to the van.
