Packing FAQs
How many boxes do I need to move?
It scales with home size. A 1 BHK usually takes around 15 to 25 cartons, a 3 BHK closer to 50 to 70, split between small boxes for heavy items like books and larger ones for light, bulky things. This tool gives you a starting count you can adjust.
Do partners bring their own packing materials?
Most do. Full-service packing includes cartons, wrap, tape and blankets in the quote, and many partners collect and reuse boxes afterward. This calculator is for self-packers or anyone who wants to sanity-check a quote.
What packing materials do I actually need?
Cartons in a few sizes, bubble wrap for fragiles and electronics, strong tape, and furniture covers for sofas and mattresses. Fragile-heavy homes need more wrap and small boxes, which the fragile toggle accounts for.
Is the materials cost part of a mover's quote?
With full-service packing, yes, materials and labour are bundled. The figure here is an indicative retail cost if you buy them yourself. Comparing quotes from matched partners is the way to see the packed-and-moved price.
