Box mix in this worked example
The calculator splits the planning total into roughly 20% small boxes, 52% medium, 22% large and 6% wardrobe boxes. Here that becomes 17 small, 45 medium, 19 large and 5 wardrobe boxes.
What drives the estimate
The model starts with a property-size baseline, adds average kitchen, book and overflow allowances, adjusts for 2 occupants, then applies the full / collector contents multiplier.
Packing materials
A planning starting point is 11 rolls of tape and about 60 m of protective wrap. Dense books and fragile kitchenware should normally go into smaller cartons.
