Rental
€0.30/box/day
You pay only for the rental days, and the rental period is set around your move.
Moving boxes
Boxes at your door before the move.
Rent sturdy moving boxes from us: we deliver them to your home in advance and collect the empties after the move, so you don't have to buy cardboard, tape it up or get rid of it afterwards.
Why a rental box beats cardboard
- Sturdy and stackable: a plastic moving box carries even books without buckling and stacks into straight towers, so the truck packs tighter and the move goes faster
- No assembly: put the lid on and the box is ready. No tape needed, and the bottom won't give way on the stairs
- Delivery and pickup included: we bring the boxes on an agreed day before the move and collect the empties once you've unpacked
- Ecological: the same box goes through hundreds of moves, while cardboard usually survives one
- Cheaper than buying: you don't pay for boxes that end up gathering dust in storage
How many boxes do you need?
- Studio: about 10–20 boxes
- One-bedroom: about 20–35 boxes
- Two-bedroom or bigger: 35–60+ boxes
Rule of thumb: a bookshelf takes more boxes than you think, the kitchen fewer than you fear. If you run out, we bring more, and you pay only for what you use.
Good to know: the rental price is confirmed in your quote based on the number of boxes and the rental period. With a move, delivery and pickup happen on the same trips, which keeps the price down.
How it works
- Tick "Moving box rental" in the quote form or call us.
- We deliver clean boxes to your door on an agreed day, well before the move.
- Pack at your own pace. On moving day the boxes go into the truck in stacks, so loading is fast.
- Once you've unpacked, we collect the empties.

FAQ
Moving box questions
How much does moving box rental cost?
The rental is €0.30 per box per day, and delivery plus pickup to your door in the capital region is €60 in total. For example 20 boxes for two weeks: €84 + €60 delivery = €144 in total.
Can I rent boxes without booking a move?
Yes, you can rent boxes on their own anywhere in the capital region. The package is cheapest with a move, though, because delivery and pickup ride along with the moving visits.
How long can I keep the boxes?
We agree the rental period around your needs, typically 1–2 weeks before the move and a week after for unpacking. If unpacking drags on, we're flexible.
Do you provide packing materials too?
Yes, packing materials such as tissue paper, bubble wrap and mattress bags are part of our service, and we can also pack your entire home for you.
How many moving boxes do I need?
About 10–20 boxes for a studio, 20–35 for a one-bedroom and 35–60 or more for a two-bedroom and up. A bookshelf takes more boxes than you expect and the kitchen fewer than you fear. If you run out we bring more, and you pay only for the boxes you use.
Can I put anything in a moving box?
Almost. Leave out candles, open liquids, houseplants, documents, keys, medication, jewellery and cash. Valuables and papers should travel with you. Keep each box light enough to lift comfortably: heavy items at the bottom of the stack, light on top.
Do you deliver boxes outside Helsinki?
Yes, anywhere in the capital region, including Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen. For a long-distance move we bring the boxes along our route to your city. Tell us the address in the quote form and we'll confirm the delivery day.
Packing
How to pack a box that survives the stairs
Most damage in a move happens inside the box, not in the truck. Four habits prevent almost all of it:
- Heavy low, light high. Books and tools at the bottom of the stack, bedding and lampshades on top. A box you can't lift comfortably is too heavy, so split it.
- Fill the gaps. Empty space is what lets things move and break. Towels, socks and bedding are free packing material.
- Label the room, not the contents. "Kitchen" written on the lid gets the box to the right place; "misc" gets it opened three times.
- Pack plates upright, standing on edge like records, with paper between them. They survive far better than stacked flat.
What not to put in a box
Leave these out and tell us about them instead: candles and anything else that melts, open bottles and liquids, houseplants (they travel loose and upright), documents, keys, medication, jewellery and cash. Valuables and papers should travel with you, not in the load. We protect furniture with soft moving blankets as part of the hourly rate. For valuable pieces, stretch-film wrapping is an extra at €40 per roll.
Where we deliver: boxes go to any address in the capital region (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen). If you're moving long-distance, we bring the boxes along our route to your city, so mention the address in the form. See also pricing and the truck size calculator if you want to check whether everything fits in one load.
