Boxed Up & Busy: A Month at DGT Boxes
Boxed Up & Busy: A Month at DGT Boxes
May has certainly been a busy one here at Direct Global Trading Boxes. From moving house essentials and packaging kits to bubble wrap, tape, and storage solutions, it has been fantastic seeing so many customers choosing us to help with everything from full house moves to small storage projects.
As we head into summer, moving season is very much in full swing, and the warehouse has definitely been keeping busy. We've packed and dispatched over 42,000 orders throughout May, making it one of our busiest months so far this year.
Whether customers are preparing for university moves, organising storage spaces, shipping products, or packing up entire homes, it is brilliant seeing so many people trusting DGT Boxes to help get the job done properly. The fragile tape has definitely been flying off the shelves!
Before we dive into some lovely customer feedback, let us take a look at a few of the products customers have been loving most throughout May.
May's Customer Favourites
Some products are long-time favourites, whilst others have really come into their own this month. From sturdy moving boxes to practical storage solutions, these are just a few of the products that have kept us busy throughout May.
Pack of 10 Strong Large Moving House Cardboard Boxes
A true DGT classic, the Pack of 10 Strong Large Moving House Cardboard Boxes continues to be one of our most popular products month after month. In May alone, these packs accounted for more than 155,000 individual moving boxes flying off our shelves, making them a firm favourite for packing projects of every size.
Whether customers are moving house, organising the loft, de-cluttering the spare room, or preparing items for storage, these strong cardboard boxes offer a practical and reliable solution. Their versatile size makes them ideal for everyday household belongings, from books and clothing to kitchenware and decorations.
Pack of 10 Extra Large Moving House Cardboard Boxes
Some packing jobs call for a little more space, and that's exactly where our extra large boxes shine. The Pack of 10 Extra Large Moving House Cardboard Boxes remained one of our busiest products throughout May, with nearly 80,000 individual Extra Large boxes making their way to customers across the UK.
Ideal for bedding, cushions, lightweight household items, and larger possessions, these boxes help maximise packing space whilst remaining easy to assemble and transport. They also work brilliantly alongside laundry bags, giant black bin liners, packing paper, and tape dispensers to make busy packing days run that little bit more smoothly.
Pack of 5 Extra Large Tall Cardboard Moving Boxes
Sometimes standard boxes simply aren't enough, which is exactly where the Pack of 5 Extra Large Tall Cardboard Moving Boxes comes into its own.
These specialist boxes continued to prove popular throughout May, with over 600 packs heading out to customers looking for a little extra height when packing. They're particularly useful for taller household items, lamps, artificial plants, sports equipment, and other awkwardly shaped belongings that don't always fit neatly into traditional moving boxes.
It's one of those products that customers often don't realise they need until moving day arrives, then wonder how they ever managed without them.
Pack of 10 Extra Large and Large Moving House Cardboard Boxes
For customers looking for a bit of flexibility, the Pack of 10 Extra Large and Large Moving House Cardboard Boxes offers the best of both worlds.
This mixed bundle proved especially popular throughout May, with hundreds of customers choosing the combination of large and extra large boxes for their packing projects. Having two different box sizes available makes it much easier to organise heavier items separately from larger, lightweight belongings.
Pair the bundle with bubble wrap, packing paper, clear tape, laundry bags, or a tape dispenser and suddenly packing starts to feel a little less chaotic.
Pack of 10 Strong Cardboard Cube Storage Boxes with Lid and Handles
Not every customer is preparing for a house move, and the growing popularity of the Pack of 10 Strong Cardboard Cube Storage Boxes with Lid and Handles is proof of exactly that.
One of our standout storage products, these packs found their way into homes, offices, classrooms, and work spaces across the UK. Designed for practical everyday organisation, these boxes are perfect for keeping paperwork, toys, craft supplies, seasonal decorations, clothing, and household essentials neatly stored away.
Complete with fitted lids and integrated handles, they're a brilliant option for anyone looking to keep spaces organised long after the moving boxes have been unpacked.
Staff Picks This Month
Whilst the bestsellers are always exciting to see, there are also a few products the team here at DGT Boxes keeps reaching for time and time again. From packing accessories and protective wrap to complete moving kits, here are a few staff favourites we have been loving throughout May.
The Packing Bench Favourites
Sometimes it is the smaller packing essentials that end up making the biggest difference during busy moving days.
The Brown Honeycomb Paper 50 Metre Dispenser Ideal for Fragile Items has been a huge favourite around the team lately, especially with more customers looking for eco-friendly ways to protect fragile items. It is brilliant for wrapping glassware, candles, ceramics, ornaments, and smaller decorative pieces whilst reducing the need for excessive plastic packaging.
Alongside that, the 250 Sheets of White Packing Paper Newspaper Offcuts 750mm x 500mm continues to be one of those simple but incredibly useful packing staples customers always seem grateful to have once the kitchen cupboards come into play. Perfect for wrapping plates, mugs, glasses, decorations, and delicate household items during transport or storage.
And of course, we cannot talk about staff favourites without mentioning the Hand Held Tape Dispenser. Sometimes the simplest products genuinely make the biggest difference, and once customers start using a proper tape dispenser, there is usually no going back to battling loose rolls of tape ever again.
The Big Moving Kit Picks
Complete moving kits have also been especially popular this month with customers wanting a more straightforward packing solution without needing to buy everything separately.
The Student Moving House University Extra Strong Cardboard Box Kit has been a particularly popular choice for university moves and smaller relocations, giving customers a practical all-in-one setup to help make moving days feel far more manageable.
Meanwhile, the Pack of 20 Large Strong Moving House Cardboard Boxes & 3 Extra Large Clothes Laundry Bags continues to be a favourite for customers packing clothing, bedding, and soft furnishings quickly and efficiently.
For larger projects, the XL Moving House Package 40 Boxes, 2 Rolls of 60m Bubble, 10 Giant Black Bags 6 XL Laundry Clothes Bags 12 Rolls of Tape and 4 Marker Pens remains one of the most comprehensive moving setups available on the site. With boxes, bubble wrap, black bin liners, tape, and marker pens all included together, it is the sort of kit that helps customers feel at least slightly more organised when staring at an entire house thinking, “Where do I even begin?”

One of the best parts of every month is seeing customer feedback come through. Whether it is comments about strong boxes, quick delivery, or helpful packing solutions, it genuinely means a lot to the team.

“Ordered Boxes and Fabric Clothes Storage Bags, along with Laundry Clothing bags, just started packing today and although the boxes appear to be quite small I am getting a lot in and the storage bags are large and as they are soft you can pack a lot in them Items arrived very quickly, great company to deal with! A++++”
We genuinely appreciate every review customers leave, whether it is on Trustpilot, Google, or directly through the website. Seeing customers return for more boxes, recommend us to others, or share their moving experiences really does add a smile to our faces.
Looking Ahead to Summer
With summer moving season continuing to ramp up, the team is already preparing for another busy month ahead.
From strong cardboard boxes and moving kits to bubble wrap, packing paper, laundry bags, tape, and packaging accessories, we are looking forward to helping even more customers pack, move, store, and organise throughout June.
And if May is anything to go by, we're in for a great month of orders!
