Packing Materials

All of these professional moving cartons may be purchased from Midway Moving and Storage. You also may be able to obtain cartons from your local grocery store. However, grocers usually slit cartons open along the sides instead of at the seams making them unusable for packing. In any case, be certain the cartons you use are of adequate size and strength.
