U-Haul Small Shipping Boxes for vinyl

I’ve seen recommendations for using these boxes to move vinyl, but given the stated size I wasn’t sure if they would work for large, hard cased box sets like the Beatles Mono, etc. Can anyone say if they’ve gotten these large hard case box sets to fit properly in this box?

I just think I answered my own question. I measured my Beatles Mono box and it’s about 13.5” across. Too big for this U-Haul Small Box. :-(

You have to package the large boxes separately. You want the records to fit tight so they do not slide around.

In movers' terminology what you need are "book boxes".  If you have a lot of vinyl, they're cheaper from some generic or wholesale outlet.  However, they are sized for standard LPs. The strength of a packed box is predicated on it being filled to the edge, so oversize won't fit.

If you are doing the move yourself go to your local adult beverage store and ask for some empty wine boxes . Cheap and effective.
