Do You Need Packing and Wrapping Services Before You Move

Should You Fire a Moving Company to Professionally Wrap and Pack Your Move?

Moving is an incredibly stressful process, especially if you lack experience efficiently packing and organizing. Moving all your belongings creates plenty of opportunities for damaging art, scratching TVs, ripping couches, and losing any number of important items in your life. As such, properly packing, protecting, and organizing your things is absolutely essential.

While many people understand that a moving company can be great for getting all your belongings to the new location, many people are unaware of the full list of services the top-tier moving companies can offer. Below, we’ll explore some of those packing and protecting services you can find to help make your entire move easier, quicker, and smoother.

Typical Packing Services

Packing is an extremely tedious part of the moving process, especially without help. If you’re looking at a large move, consider seeking the help of packing services:

Complete Home Packing

For larger operations, many moving companies can offer complete home packing that will, at your direction, have all belongings throughout a residence packed and ready to move. This includes furniture, clothes, wall decorations, and anything else in the space making the move.

Room-by-Room Packing

Sometimes, your move just needs help in specific areas. Room-by-room packing is a great way to divide up work and seek extra hands in rooms that are particularly unruly or have larger items that require more coordination by a team.

Essential Items Packing

No matter how important an item is, with proper communication, a moving company can take extra precautions to carefully pack and handle your essentials. These items can be set aside, moved first, protected, and generally looked after if that is what you need. Any good moving company can tailor the move to fit your specific needs.

Custom Boxed Items

Bringing in moving services also gives access to more state of the art moving equipment. This can translate to custom boxes to fit more of your items. Boxes are key to structure and organization in a move, but not all items seem boxable on first look. Professional services will have a larger selection of options to protect your items.

Pre-Move Organization

The chaos of a move creates plenty of opportunities to lose belongings and mismanage organization. Professional movers have loads of experience organizing specifically to streamline moves; they can use these skills to speed up your move and be sure everything is properly sorted for the destination.

Common Ways to Wrap and Protect Your Items

As mentioned, wrapping and protecting your items is of the utmost importance for any successful moving company. Whether you’re wrapping yourself or bringing on extra help, here are the most common ways to protect your items during a move:

Bubble Wrap and Padding

Bubble wrap and padding provide essential buffers between sensitive items and hard surfaces. Items like paintings and television/computer screens are primed to break during a move, but will benefit tremendously from an additional protection layer.

Shrink Wrap and Furniture Covers

Furniture is prime to rip, scratch, or stain when moving without protection. For these items, having shrink wraps and furniture covers is a great way to seal everything out from the soft cushions underneath.

Custom Crating

Custom-built crates can be brought in for sensitive, yet unruly items that need moving. Building custom crates makes moving that item easier while adding a solid layer of protection around it. Weirdly-shaped items like vases or pots can benefit tremendously from custom crating.

Anti-Scratch and Anti-Dust Seals

Sensitive items like glass or mirrors can benefit tremendously from anti-scratch and anti-dust seals that prevent any devastating gashes or debris from damaging a fragile piece below.

Secure Labeling and Inventory

Secured labels properly inventoried, all organized, is a huge benefit to seeking professional help. All items, boxes, and custom crates should be clearly labeled throughout the duration of the move; this is often overlooked and can cause a major headache.
