Packing has never been called one of life’s simple pleasures; however, careful packing is one of the most important aspects of a successful move. Proper paper wrapping, padding, and boxing procedures are vital to protect your business and office items.

Typically, packing a home or office can take one or two days, depending on the amount of items to pack. That is why our packing crew usually comes to your home or office one or two days prior to moving day. This will ensure that all of your items are properly packed and efficiently organized in a manner that will make for a seamless and stress-free move.

The Cost of Packing Services is Based on Three Things

- The number of packers required to perform professional packing services

- The amount of time it takes to pack all of your belongings

- The cost of materials used to perform the pack

In addition, a travel charge is assigned to all pack jobs. Usually, the travel fee is a one-hour fee depending on where the pack job is to be performed.

Packing Tips and Guides

Good packing and preparation is a key ingredient to a successful move. Professional Movers is prepared to provide full packing services or, if you prefer, we can pack just the breakables or troublesome areas. Ask your packing consultant about the packing option that might work best for you.

- Planning on packing everything yourself? That is the cheapest approach but be sure to take the time to learn the packing techniques used by professionals. The following are some packing tips to keep in mind.

- Start early. Don’t wait until the last minute! Packing an entire house is more involving and time consuming than most think. Pack the non-critical areas of your home well in advance of the move. Just packing a few cartons or boxes each day will make a big difference.

- Use the correct materials.

- Know the items that cannot be transported! Items that are combustible, flammable, and/or caustic cannot be moved. Please check our list of Non-Allowable Items for a complete list of items that are not allowed on the moving van.

- High value articles need special handling! If you pack the high value articles in your home, they should be itemized and made available for inspection by the on-site moving supervisor. You may wish to have a Professional Movers packer handle the packing and preparation o your high value or sentimental items.

Packing Guide
Start here with the basics

- Limit boxes, when possible, to a maximum weight of 50 lbs to make handling easier.

- Wrapping items carefully.

- Providing plenty of cushioning to absorb shock.

- Use sturdy boxes that can be closed or sealed completely.

- Making sure boxes are firmly packed and do not rattle, bulge outward or bend inward.

- Not mixing items from different rooms in the same box, when possible.

- Start with out-of season items. Next, pack things used infrequently. Leave the things you will need until moving day organized and ready to be packed just a few days prior to your move date.

- Empty drawers of breakables, spillables and any items not recommended for inclusion in your shipment and anything that would puncture or damage other items. However, blankets, sweaters, lingerie, bath towels and similar soft, lightweight goods may be left in drawers.

- Pack similar items together. Do not pack a delicate china figurine in the same box with cast-iron frying pans, for example.

- Keep all parts of pairs of things together. For example, curtain rod hangers, mirror bolts and other small hardware items should be placed in plastic or cloth bags and taped or tied securely to the article to which they belong.

- Wrap-up electrical cords, fastening them so they do not dangle.

- Wrap items individually in clean paper; use tissue paper, paper towels or even facial tissue for fine china, crystal and delicate items. Colored wrapping draws attention to very small things. Use a double layer of newspaper for a good outer wrapping.

- Place a two-or three-inch layer of crushed paper in the bottom of a carton for cushioning.

- Build up in layers, with the heaviest things on the bottom, medium weight next and lightest on top.

- As each layer is completed, fill in empty spaces firmly with crushed paper and add more crushed paper to make a level base for the next layer, or use sheets of cardboard cut from boxes as dividers.

- Cushion well with crushed paper; towels and lightweight blankets also may also be used for padding and cushioning. The more fragile the item, the more cushioning needed. Be sure no sharp points, edges or rims are left uncovered.

- Pack small, fragile, individually wrapped items separately, or a few together in small boxes, cushioning with crushed or shredded paper.

- Place small boxes in a single large box, filling in spaces with crushed paper.

- Avoid overloading boxes, but strive for a firm pack that will prevent items from shifting; the cover should close easily without force, but should not bend inward.

- Seal boxes tightly with tape except for those containing items listed on the High Value Inventory form. These must be left open for the on-site moving supervisor’s inspection.

- As you finish with each box, list the contents on the side of the box (for easy viewing while boxes are stacked) and in a special notebook. You might want to number and/or code the boxes as well.

- Indicate your name and the room to which each box should be delivered at destination.

- Tape a sign on the door of each room at destination corresponding to the box labels so movers can get the boxes in the proper rooms quickly.

- Put a special mark on boxes you want to unpack first at destination.
