Choose the Packing Help You Need

Full-home packing

Request help with the agreed rooms and household contents. Tell us your home size, packing progress, fragile items and move date so we can estimate the crew, time and materials.

Partial packing and fragile items

Pack clothes and everyday belongings yourself, and request help with the kitchen, glassware, mirrors, artwork or other items needing extra care. Let us know about antiques and unusually delicate pieces before the appointment so we can discuss suitable protection or specialty crating.

Packing for a rental truck, container or storage

Good packing prepares items for handling and stacking; careful loading and securement are separate steps. Tell us whether boxes will travel in a rental truck, portable container or freight trailer, or stay in storage. Our loading and unloading guide explains traveling furniture pads, tie-downs and preparation for a different unloading crew.

Unpacking at your new home

Request unpacking help for the rooms and boxes you choose. Agree on item placement and any packing-material cleanup in advance so the crew can work to your priorities.

Packing Support for Homes, Apartments & Offices

Every packing job starts with your priorities: what is moving, what stays, what you will pack yourself and what needs extra protection. Point out fragile or high-value belongings before work begins, and keep a separate area for personal items that should stay with you.

For office packing, label equipment and cartons by department or workstation, and keep confidential records under your control. Request specialized packing needs in advance.

DIY Packing Tips for Customers Packing Their Own Items

These practical packing tips help you prepare your own boxes and make it easier for the moving crew to identify, handle and place your belongings.

Plan and label before you pack

  1. Pack one room at a time. Sort out donations and items that are staying first. Keep each room’s contents together so boxes are easier to place and unpack.
  2. Use a label that works when boxes are stacked. Write the destination room, a short contents list and a box number on the top and two sides. Add FRAGILE or OPEN FIRST when needed. Match room names to signs at the new home.
  3. Make a simple photo inventory. Photograph contents before sealing important boxes and save the photos by box number. A phone note such as “Kitchen 07 — coffee supplies” can save a long search later.
  4. Create a DO NOT PACK zone. Keep keys, IDs, medications, jewelry, important documents and chargers with you. Set aside first-night bedding, toiletries, a change of clothes and essentials for children or pets.

Build boxes that can be handled and stacked

  1. Match the box size to the weight. Use small boxes for books and other dense items; reserve larger boxes for light linens and pillows. Stay within the box rating and a weight that can be handled safely.
  2. Tape the seams in an H pattern. Use proper packing tape across the center seam and both edge seams on the bottom and top. Press it down firmly. Folding the flaps together without tape does not make a secure base.
  3. Fill gaps without forcing the lid. Cushion items and fill empty space so contents do not slide or knock together during normal handling. Boxes should close flat without bulging; do not crush fragile contents to make them fit.
  4. Reuse selectively. Use only clean, dry, sturdy boxes with sound corners. Replace soft, torn or crushed cartons. Secure tote lids and check the manufacturer’s stacking limits; bags do not provide rigid protection for breakables.

Give fragile items their own protection

  1. Wrap plates individually and stand them on edge. Use a suitable dish carton with cushioning under, around and above the contents. Keep hard surfaces separated rather than stacking unprotected dishes flat in a pile.
  2. Separate glasses and stemware. Wrap each piece, protect delicate stems and use suitable dividers so glasses cannot strike one another. Follow the packing-kit directions and avoid pressure on the rims.
  3. Box the TV with fitted protection. Use the original packaging with its inserts or a properly sized TV kit with corner and screen protection. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, transport upright and keep pressure off the screen. A blanket alone is not a rigid box.
  4. Photograph electronics before unplugging. Back up important data, take a photo of cable connections and label both cable ends. Pack electronics in suitable cushioning, keeping remotes and accessories labeled for the matching device.

Keep furniture parts and stored items organized

  1. Use a labeled master hardware box. Bag screws and fittings by furniture item, add a matching item number and take a disassembly photo. Keep the parts box accessible and tell the unloading crew where it is. Do not tape hardware bags directly to finished surfaces.
  2. Use padding underneath stretch wrap. Moving pads cushion furniture; stretch wrap helps hold protection in place. Keep tape off wood finishes, leather and upholstery, and do not treat plastic wrap as a substitute for padding.
  3. Check drawers and specialty pieces with the crew. Empty dresser drawers before moving, especially for stairs. Dense clothing adds weight and can stress the furniture legs, frame and joints during lifting or tilting. Leave only a small amount of lightweight, loosely packed clothing if the crew approves the dresser and route. Remove loose, heavy, fragile and liquid contents. Discuss glass shelves, stone tops, antiques and disassembly needs before moving day. For furniture hardware, use a sealed bag labeled with the item and room. When practical, secure it with the matching piece inside the protective wrap in a protected, easy-to-find spot, and mark the hardware location on the outside. Keep adhesive off finished surfaces. Share assembly photos or instructions with the unloading crew, especially when a different team will reassemble it. Use a labeled parts box only when the hardware cannot travel safely with its item.
  4. Pack only clean, fully dry belongings. Florida humidity makes damp items a storage problem. Do not seal moisture inside furniture wrapping or bins. Discuss heat- or moisture-sensitive items and climate-controlled options with your storage provider.

Packing Supplies & a Simple Way to Control Costs

Start with sturdy small and medium boxes, larger cartons for light belongings, clean packing paper, suitable cushioning, packing tape, markers, labels and sealable hardware bags. Dish packs with dividers, TV or mirror cartons, mattress covers and wardrobe boxes may be useful for particular items.

Save time by packing everyday clothing, linens and durable items yourself, then request help with the fragile or time-consuming areas. Keep a supply station in each room and group similar box sizes where practical.

If you provide your own supplies, tell us what you have before the appointment. We’ll discuss suitability and any additional materials needed. Your estimate should identify labor, minimum time, supplies and any agreed additional services; request clarification before work begins.

Before Your Packing or Moving Crew Arrives

  • Separate everything that stays, travels with you or needs professional packing. Keep walkways clear.
  • Tell us about TVs, glass, artwork, antiques, stairs, elevators and building access rules.
  • Keep propane cylinders, gasoline, flammable liquids, corrosive cleaners and other potentially hazardous items out of ordinary packed boxes. Ask about restrictions and arrange appropriate handling before move day.
  • Finish and seal the boxes you agreed to pack. Tell us early if you need more help or materials.
  • Show the crew your room labels, fragile items, priority boxes and hardware system during the walkthrough.
