Every tote in a Nice Totes rental is the exact same size — a 27-gallon, heavy-duty tote measuring 20.6" D x 30.6" W x 14.3" H. Here's why that specific size, and what actually fits inside one.
What Fits in a 27-Gallon Tote
A 27-gallon tote comfortably holds clothes, office supplies, kitchen items, seasonal decor, books, and everyday household goods — roughly the equivalent of three standard cardboard moving boxes' worth of stuff, without the mismatched sizing cardboard boxes bring.
Why One Uniform Size Instead of Multiple Sizes
Cardboard box sets usually come in small, medium, and large — which sounds flexible, but in practice means guessing which size to use for what, and ending up with mismatched stacks that shift in a truck or garage. One uniform tote size stacks predictably (rated safely up to five high) and skips the sizing guesswork entirely.
What's Better Packed Outside a Tote
Larger furniture, mattresses, and oddly-shaped items like lamps or mirrors aren't a fit for any standard tote or box — those move separately, wrapped or padded on their own. The totes are built for everything that would otherwise go in a cardboard box: the bulk of a typical household move.
How Many Totes You'll Need
Package sizes are built around this exact tote, scaled to typical home sizes — from a 20-tote Studio package up to a 90-tote 5 Bedroom package. If you're unsure which package fits your place, our residential pricing page breaks down what's typically included per home size.
