Bankers Box Styles and Sizes

Bankers Box Styles
Based on the online store, there are 4 box styles to choose from— basic/RSC, lift-off lid, locking tab lid, and others.
Here’s a quick rundown of what each style is all about.
Basic/RSC—This is the most simplistic box style available from Bankers Box. It’s simply a cuboid box without handles. Users will have to close the top flaps using masking tape to keep the contents secure during transport.
Lift-off lid—This box style is a cuboid box that comes with a lid. You can add the lid on top of the box to keep the contents safe during travel and remove the lid when unloading.
Locking tab—This box style has a convenient locking mechanism made of cardboard on the top flaps. The locks fold down toward the handle grips (side holes) to keep the flaps closed and your belongings safe.
Other—The “other” style refers to what’s typically known as specialty boxes. Specialty boxes are boxes that are used to store irregularly shaped objects, such as wardrobes, mirrors, framed photos, TVs, and even bikes.

How Does Bankers Box Compare to Other Brands?
Regarding built quality, Bankers Box boxes are sturdy enough to carry heavy items without their bottoms flipping open, provided you use enough tape to keep the flaps shut.
In terms of cost, you might have to do a bit of shopping. Even though Bankers Box uses recycled materials to manufacture their moving boxes, picking up multiple boxes can be quite costly. Thankfully, Bankers Box has a Moving Box Kit selection that allows you to pick up multiple moving boxes of various sizes in a single transaction.
