Outside the Box. Mark’s Moving & Storage Introduces Reusable Moving Crates for Easier, More Efficient Home and Office Relocations

Mark’s Moving & Storage, Westborough, MA, is making residential and commercial moves more efficient and environmentally friendly with the availability of durable, reusable moving crates designed to simplify packing, protect belongings, and reduce waste.

Unlike traditional cardboard boxes, moving crates are constructed from heavy-duty plastic that provides superior protection for valuable items during transport. Their uniform size makes stacking easier and safer, while integrated handles allow for convenient lifting and carrying. Because the crates arrive ready to use, customers can eliminate the time and expense of purchasing, assembling, and disposing of cardboard boxes.

For businesses relocating offices, moving crates help streamline the packing process and minimize downtime. Employees can quickly pack workstations into secure, stackable containers that are easy to label and transport, helping organizations resume operations faster in their new location.

Homeowners also benefit from the convenience of reusable crates. The sturdy containers protect household belongings from crushing and moisture, making them ideal for everything from kitchenware and books to electronics and décor. Once the move is complete, the crates are simply picked up, eliminating the hassle of breaking down and recycling cardboard boxes.

“Moving is stressful enough without worrying about flimsy boxes or piles of packing materials,” said a spokesperson for Mark’s Moving & Storage. “Our reusable moving crates provide a cleaner, stronger, and more convenient solution that saves time while helping customers enjoy a smoother moving experience.”

The reusable crate program complements Mark’s Moving & Storage’s comprehensive portfolio of residential and commercial moving solutions. From local and long-distance moves to packing, storage, warehousing, records management, and international shipping, the company provides customized services to meet the unique needs of homeowners, businesses, and organizations throughout the region.

Mark’s Moving & Storage is also committed to giving back to the communities it serves through its nonprofit division, Mark’s Northeastern Furniture Foundation. Established in 2011, the 501(c)(3) organization repurposes discarded furniture and distributes it to charities and individuals in need. Working with community partners, the foundation has donated more than 1 million pounds of furniture and distributed thousands of pieces to local organizations, including the United Way of Tri-County and Household Goods.

When your company is going places…Boston Pack and Ship helps relocating companies with delicate moves.

BRAINTREE, MA…

Whether it’s for business or personally, nobody enjoys a move. Yet the degree of difficulty can go up significantly when moving a business, particularly moving fragile electronic equipment like computers, monitors and servers. Boston Pack and Ship, a small load shipping specialist for two decades, has helped a number of companies through this transitional process.

“When a company relocates, all the equipment doesn’t necessarily go from Point A to Point B. Some goes to the new office, some might go to another location in the company, some is sold and some might be thrown out. Most companies don’t have the staff to handle that kind of move and it’s a job larger moving companies probably won’t touch if it’s less than 1,000 pounds,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship.

Boston Pack and Ship specializes in moves of 1,000 pounds or less. In addition, it offers customized package and custom crate building services at its workshop in Braintree. For items like computer equipment, artwork and other fragile items, Boston Pack and Ship employs foam-in-place technology to “lock” those items in place and limit movement within the package.

“Closing up our Providence office meant two moves, one to an office in Newport and another to our corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Both involved the shipping of some very delicate and expensive equipment—hard drives, servers, printers and displays—as well as office furniture. Boston Pack and Ship conducted two separate moves to two of our locations in Denver. One was an expedited pack and ship of electronics and the other was a more cost effective blanket wrap service of office furniture. Not only did Boston Pack and Ship handle both moves seamlessly, but did so within a month’s time,” said Maureen Cronin, of Worldways Social Marketing.

The breadth of Boston Pack and Ship’s relocation services include: 

  •  Small loads – with no minimum requirement; blanket-wrapping for fragile, delicate moves; full insurance available
  • Custom crates and packaging for computers, electronic instruments, prototypes, antiques and artwork. 
  • State-of-the-art, foam-in-place solutions to protect valuables
  • Multiple U.S. and International shipping options—ocean or air—to help lower costs
  •  Door-to-door and door-to-port delivery with insurance available
  • On-time pickups by appointment
