Moving Boxes | Jay’s Moving Calgary

One thing that every move has in common is the need for moving boxes. Jay’s, your Calgary moving company, has all the right moving supplies to ensure your belongings are packed securely.

We use a number of different types of packing materials including:

China cartons;
Small Mirror cartons;
Large Mirror cartons;
Wardrobe cartons;
2 cubic foot moving boxes;
4 cubic foot moving boxes;
5 cubic foot moving boxes;
Paper in 25 lb rolls, and
Tape

If you are doing some (or all) of your own packing you can purchase these moving supplies from Jay’s and be confident that you have the proper packing materials.

If you are moving locally with Jay's, you may return used moving boxes that are still in good condition for a full refund.

For a long distance move with Jay's, we offer some complimentary packing materials.

On average, our moving boxes are used 4 times before being recycled, so we are sure that we use the moving supplies efficiently while maintaining a high quality product for our clients.

Don’t rely on soggy lettuce boxes scrounged from the local supermarket. Using the right moving supplies will help your belongings arrive at their destination undamaged. And with our refund on used moving boxes it needn’t be expensive! Ask your Jay’s Moving consultant, they can advise you on what type and how many moving boxes you will need.

Selecting Packing Supplies

When selecting packing supplies for your household goods, remember:

You can save money by collecting clean boxes from your local supermarkets.
Make sure that the boxes are dry, and empty of insects and other pests.
Only collect strong, corrugated cartons with tops or flaps that fold shut.
Old newspapers may be used for packing material, but ink may rub off and stain your belongings. Jay’s recommends that you use blank paper (and we can supply it!).

If you can’t find proper cartons (or enough of them), you can avoid damaging your possessions by purchasing sturdy, specialized packing cartons in a variety of sizes from Jay’s.

Other packing supplies you will need include:

Scissors and/or a sharp knife
Paper
Plastic bags and labels for parts storage and identification
Labels and markers for identifying the contents of cartons
Heavy-duty packaging tape (11/2 to 2 inches wide) for sealing cartons — Jay’s does not recommend using duct tape or masking tape

Before you start packing

Find a work area that is large enough to accommodate the biggest cartons, with a solid table or work surface (Jay’s doesn’t recommend using your best dining room table for packing!). Cover your table with towels or a blanket to protect it. Put a generous stack of packing paper on the table, and have your scissors, tape, marking pens and other packing supplies close at hand.

Now that you’ve collected your packing supplies and organized your workspace you’re ready to start packing: click for how to pack and more tips.

What's the buzz?

... We have moved several times over the years - including an overseas relocation, so have had many experiences dealing with moving companies. No one can compare with the service we received through Jay’s. None of our items were damaged and all my plants survived which came as an enormous relief! I would not hesitate to recommend Jay’s in the future.

Thanks So Much!!
