Box 40x30x30 cm | Robust Cardboard Boxes for Moving or Shipping with Handles - Ideal for Books, Magazines, Clothes

The 40x30x30 cm cardboard box is the most common size used for moving and storing medium-sized, heavy items: books, comics, magazines, vinyl records, wrapped dishes, and folded clothes . Its compact dimensions allow it to be filled without becoming too heavy to lift, which is the most common mistake when packing for a move with large boxes.

Made from reinforced single-wall corrugated cardboard, with B-type flaps and die-cut handles on the sides. The handles are an important detail: this is a box you'll be lifting many times, and being able to grip it securely from the bottom prevents it from opening or slipping. It is shipped flat and requires adhesive tape for sealing—we recommend tape at least 50 mm wide for a secure seal.

How many 40x30x30 boxes do you need?

As a quick reference: for a standard Billy bookcase (80 cm wide, 5 shelves), you'll need about 4-5 boxes of this size to pack all your books. For a 2-bedroom apartment, allow 15-25 boxes of this size combined with larger boxes for clothes and textiles. For a more precise estimate, use our moving box calculator .

If you're organizing a complete move and also need large boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and a marker, check out our complete moving packs — they include all packing materials in a single order and are more economical than buying each item separately.

• Moving box 60×40×40 cm — the best seller for clothes and duvets
