moving boxes

Cardboard for relocating

Moving boxes are cardboard containers used when relocating belongings from one place to another.

They come in standard sizes for efficient stacking and are typically sturdy enough to hold books, dishes, or clothing: We need more moving boxes for the kitchen stuff.

The phrase can also describe the act of transporting boxes: I spent all morning moving boxes.
