Cardboard moving boxes cost $3–$5 each, collapse when wet, and go straight to recycling after one move. Reusable plastic moving crates are sturdier, stack better on a dolly, and protect your belongings — and when you rent them from a neighbour, you pay only for the days you need and return them when done. Furniture blankets protect wood, glass, and upholstery during transport, and are worth having for any move that involves a rental truck.
A set of 20 plastic moving crates costs $200–$400. For one move, renting a set at $20–$60/day from a local lister is far more practical than buying storage you'll have to deal with afterwards.

Moving crate rentals on toolshare from local listers typically run $20–$60/day for a set of 10–20 plastic crates. Furniture blanket sets are usually $10–$25/day. Compare that to buying 20 plastic crates at $200–$400.
For most moves, yes. Plastic crates don't collapse under weight, stack more predictably on a dolly, and won't fail if they get damp in a rental truck. They're also faster to load since they need no tape. The main downside is uniform sizing — oversized items still need blanket wrapping.
Furniture blankets (also called moving pads) wrap around wood furniture, glass surfaces, TVs, and appliances to prevent scratches and dings in the truck. They're especially useful when stacking items or when furniture presses against the truck wall. Most rental truck companies charge $10–$15 each for blankets — renting a set from toolshare is usually cheaper.
A typical two-bedroom apartment takes the equivalent of 30–50 medium boxes. If you're renting plastic crates, plan for 20–30 crates supplemented by blankets for oversized items. The lister can usually advise on how many their set covers based on what you're moving.
