Estimate how many small, medium, large and wardrobe boxes you need to pack up your home.
How this works
A typical home needs about 12 boxes plus 16 per bedroom and 6 per person, so a 2 bedroom home for 2 is about 55 boxes. About 40% are small (books, kitchen), 35% medium and 15% large. Add 2 wardrobe boxes per person and dish packs for the kitchen. One roll of tape seals about 15 boxes.
