If you have a stack of same-sized moving boxes you can make a relatively sturdy shelving system with some packing tape. You wouldn't want to fill it with really heavy items but typical garage items, art supplies, cds, even books (if you're careful) will work fine. All you have to do is build each box leaving the top open. Then you just stack them on top of and next to each other so you have a wall of boxes on their sides with the open tops now facing you. Tuck the flaps inside each box and tape each of the boxes together side-to-side and top-to-top.
Once they're secured with tape you'll notice how much structural reinforcement they provide each other. You just want to make sure it's weighted properly with heavier items in the bottom "shelves" to keep it from wanting to fall forward. You may also want to use screws or nails and washers to secure it to the wall behind it. The more secure you make it the more the more heavy duty it will be.
This technology can save a lot of money because most shelving is really expensive to buy new, and if you find anything used or free, typically it will be old fashioned super heavy shelves wood or metal shelves. Those can easily cause injury to move in and out of your place and to transport. It also makes it harder for you to move out.
Not only are moving boxes shelves lighter and safer (when used properly). Moving boxes shelving provides the extra versatility of being easily converted into moving boxes again!
