Choose the Level of Packing Help You Need
Some customers want every room packed. Others need help only with the kitchen, artwork, electronics, closets, or fragile items. Packing service should match the household, timeline, budget, and level of preparation already completed.
A clear packing plan identifies what the team will pack, what the customer will pack, which materials are included, and when packing will occur.
Full Packing Service
Full packing is designed for customers who want the packing team to prepare most or all approved household or office contents. The process may include boxes, wrapping, labeling, and room organization based on the agreed scope.
Customers should separate personal documents, medication, valuables, prohibited items, and anything that should travel with them before packing begins.
Partial Packing Service
Partial packing is useful when most of the move is already prepared but selected areas need professional help.
- Kitchens and dishes
- Artwork and mirrors
- Glassware
- Electronics
- Closets
- Home offices
- Books
- Décor
- Fragile collections
- Last remaining rooms
Fragile and Specialty Packing
Fragile items require materials and techniques appropriate to their shape, weight, surface, and value. Disclose valuable, delicate, oversized, antique, or irreplaceable items during the quote.
- Artwork
- Mirrors
- Glass tabletops
- Televisions and monitors
- Antiques
- Sculptures
- Musical instruments
- Chandeliers or delicate décor
- Collectibles
- Marble or stone components
Office Packing
Commercial packing can include files, desk contents, supplies, boxed technology, common areas, storage rooms, and non-sensitive office contents. The customer should create the labeling and destination-placement system.
Confidential documents, regulated records, and sensitive data require an internal handling plan approved by the business.
Packing Materials
Packing materials may include different box sizes, tape, paper, bubble protection, stretch wrap, mattress protection, and specialty materials based on the move.
The correct material depends on the item. Heavy books need smaller boxes. Lightweight linens can use larger boxes. Dishes and glass require separation and cushioning. Electronics should be packed to reduce movement and pressure.
Packing Timeline
Begin early enough to avoid rushed decisions. Pack low-use areas first and daily essentials last. Customers using professional packing should still sort, donate, discard, and separate non-movable items before the team arrives.
How to Label Boxes
Avoid labels that reveal valuable contents on the outside of the box.
- Destination room
- General contents
- Fragile status
- Priority level
- “Open first” when appropriate
- Orientation instructions when needed
Items Customers Should Pack Personally
Keep identification, medication, financial records, jewelry, cash, keys, passports, legal documents, personal electronics, chargers, and irreplaceable items with you.
Combine Packing With Moving and Storage
Packing, moving, and storage can be coordinated under one plan. This is useful for long-distance moves, delayed closings, renovations, temporary housing, and customers with limited preparation time.
