Carton Atlas
The moving notebook

A moving plan you can write on a box.

Room counts hide the difference between a home full of books and one full of pillows. Build your supply list from the things you own, then label each box for the room where you’ll open it.

The field guides

  1. Guide 01

    How many moving boxes will your books need?

    Pack one representative shelf sample and use occupied shelf length to turn your own library into a box count.

  2. Guide 02

    Which moving box size belongs in each room?

    Sort by density and shape, test a real carton, and turn that test into a room-by-room supply list.

  3. Guide 03

    How should you label moving boxes so unpacking is easier?

    Use a destination, short ID and opening priority, and keep a separate first-night list that still works if the truck arrives late.
