Moving Supplies & Boxes in Katy, TX

A DIY pack can cut a Katy move budget by a third, but only when the materials are right. Undersized cartons, second-life produce boxes from H-E-B, and the wrong tape are the top three reasons a self-packed move shows up at the new home with cracked dishes and split-corner bottoms. A five-bedroom in Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, or Grand Lakes typically consumes 40 to 60 medium cartons and 15 to 20 dish-packs before the kitchen alone is finished. Hardware-store runs stall the pack as soon as the first shelf empties out.

Supply drops leave the Highway Boulevard yard direct to a Katy driveway. The standard 4- to 5-bedroom kit ships with 40 medium, 20 large, 10 dish-pack, and 4 wardrobe boxes, plus paper and tape. Kit pricing is on the invoice at yard rates (no hardware-store markup), and any unopened bundle comes back at the buy-back rate on move day. Rounding up on the initial order costs nothing if the count runs long.

Why New Boxes Matter

H-E-B produce cartons and Sam's Club water flats look free, but the corrugation is already fatigued from one shipment cycle. Load 50 pounds of hardcover cookbooks inside and the bottom seam usually fails on the second staircase (or on the loading ramp, which is worse).

Our stock is new double-wall corrugate in the four size classes a moving job actually needs: small at 1.5 cubic feet, medium at 3.0, large at 4.5, and extra-large at 6.0. Specialty inventory runs beyond that: cell-divider dish packs, integrated-bar wardrobe boxes, mirror/frame flats, and 85-inch TV cartons with foam blocks.

You can buy any of it as single cartons or as pre-picked kits sized to studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans (with the four- and five-bedroom Katy version quoted separately).

Packing Materials We Carry

Cartons are the frame; the fill decides whether anything breaks. Stock includes clean unprinted newsprint (no ink transfer, unlike the Katy Times) in 25-pound bales, bubble roll in 3/16-inch and 5/16-inch bubble sizes, hand-length stretch wrap for tabletop bundling, and foam dish sleeves for stemware.

Tape and labeling round it out: 2-inch acrylic packing tape by the sleeve, red FRAGILE sticker rolls, and six-color room-code tape rolls that cut unpack time in half by matching every carton to a Katy floor-plan zone.

Pickup and Delivery Options

Walk-in pickup runs during posted yard hours out of Highway Boulevard. If you're already mid-pack and can't leave the house, we run a same-day supply drop anywhere inside the Katy service ring on orders over $75, dropped at the front porch or inside the garage.

Anything you buy and don't open comes back at 50% of purchase on move day. That means you can round up on the initial order rather than second-guessing carton counts, without stacking unused boxes in a Cinco Ranch attic.

Grand Lakes Kit Sizing and Wardrobe Counts

Grand Lakes 4,500-sqft plans typically pack out at 100-plus boxes: 40 medium, 20 large, 20 dish-pack, plus 6 wardrobe boxes per walk-in closet. Cross Creek Ranch and Firethorne five-bedrooms with formal dining add 15 more dish-packs for china and stemware. We deliver kits down FM 1093 Westheimer Parkway or up Katy-Fulshear Road same-day; unused inventory ships back to the yard for buy-back on move day.
