The most reliable way to estimate packing supplies is to start with the size of your space, not the number of rooms. Square footage gives a more accurate picture of how much furniture, clothing, and household items need protection. Our bundle estimates are based on average packing volume observed across hundreds of moves and are intended as guidance rather than an exact formula.
If your home has minimal furniture, fewer personal items, or is partially packed already, you may need less. If you have storage rooms, a garage, or years of accumulated belongings, you may need more. When in doubt, it is safer to plan slightly above average to avoid running out mid-packing.
Packing bundles are designed to remove guesswork. Each bundle combines the most commonly used materials for a specific size of space, based on average statistics from real moves we complete every week. The quantities are recommendations, not strict rules, and are meant to help you plan with confidence rather than calculate everything from scratch.
