Use only strong, corrugated cartons with tops that can be sealed or that have lids. We can supply you with specialty cartons, for everything from mattresses to wine collections. Your alternative is to collect boxes discarded by your local grocer or retailer. Keep in mind that boxes from food stores may contain insects or their eggs and you must carefully inspect each carton before use. Certain states prohibit consumers from bringing infested shipments into their state.
