News & Updates

When planning a move, one of the most common mistakes North Shore Sydney families make is underestimating how many boxes they will need. A well-planned approach can save both time and money.

• Buying too few boxes often leads to multiple trips to purchase more supplies, increasing both costs and moving-day stress. Purchasing in bulk can help reduce overall expenses.

• Quality moving boxes may cost more upfront, but they offer better protection for your belongings and can prevent costly damage during transit.
   
• To help you save even more, Kennards Self Storage offers 20% off when you purchase 10 or more boxes, with the flexibility to mix and match across the entire box range. Plus, our popular Box Buy-Back Advantage means you can return unused Kennards boxes for a full refund, or even sell back used boxes that remain in good condition.

The Complete Kennards Moving Box Range

Choosing the right box is one of the most important steps in protecting your belongings during a move. Here's a guide to our popular storage box options and their ideal uses.

Medium Heavy Duty Boxes

Ideal for:
- Books
- Tools
- Pantry items
- Kitchenware
- Small appliances



Manufactured with double-cardboard construction, these boxes provide additional strength for heavier household items. They are also an excellent choice for long-term storage because they stack more securely over time.

Jumbo Heavy Boxes

Perfect for:
- Kitchen appliances
- Bulk household goods
- Sporting equipment
- Electronics



Featuring heavy-duty double-cardboard construction, these are among the strongest moving boxes available and are particularly useful when placing items into storage.

Additional Specialty Boxes Available

Kennards Self Storage also stocks a wide range of specialty boxes designed to protect specific household items, including:
- Crockery Boxes with protective inserts for plates and glassware
- Wine Cartons with bottle dividers
- Archive Boxes for documents and records
- Port-a-Robes for transporting hanging clothes
- Bike Boxes
- Picture and TV Boxes for artwork, mirrors and prints
- Flat Boxes for clothing and items not stackable like Ornaments



This gives families access to a complete packing solution rather than relying solely on standard moving cartons.
(For customers seeking an economical and environmentally friendly option, used boxes may be available depending on stock levels).

Essential Packing Materials Every Family Should Have

Quality packing materials can be just as important as choosing the right box sizes. To properly protect your belongings during a move, consider including:

Bubble Wrap

Available in 5m, 10m, 50m and 100m rolls, bubble wrap provides cushioning for fragile items such as glassware, ornaments and electronics.

Packing Paper

Butcher paper and kraft paper are ideal for wrapping crockery, glassware and filling empty spaces inside boxes to prevent movement during transit.

Furniture Protection

Protection blankets and furniture covers help prevent scratches, dust and marks during moving and storage.

Options include:
- King Bed Protection Packs
- Single Bed Protection Packs
- Lounge Protection Covers
- Mega Bag Triple Packs
- Twin Vac Bags for bedding and clothing


Using the right protective materials can significantly reduce the risk of damage and make unpacking easier.
