How Do I Pack Boxes?

We do not recommend that you pack your boxes yourself, as insurance companies typically do not cover damages for customer-packed boxes. We are more than willing to transport your packed boxes; however, we would encourage you to consider having us pack your items, especially if a full home packing service is beyond your budget.



Regardless of who packs your items, movers are liable for any external damage that may cause internal damage. However, external damage does not include issues stemming from boxes collapsing due to insufficient packing and dead airspace during transport.



We can provide guidance on how to properly pack using bubble wrap and professional packing paper.



While packing peanuts may seem appealing, they can be expensive and create a significant mess.



Avoid using newspaper for packing. It’s outdated, and the inks used can permanently stain glass and other items—leading to damage. Instead, opt for professional packing paper.


It’s clear that we understand the sizes of moving boxes you require. With nearly 365 days spent moving in and out of homes and businesses, we have determined the average box sizes essential for your relocation.



Be sure to include wardrobe boxes for your hanging clothes.



Fill your boxes completely to the brim; dead airspace can result in implosion when stacked. The weight is not an issue for movers, so please fill them up.



Clearly label each box on the top and one side to indicate which room it will be placed in at the destination. We will organize them accordingly after arranging your furniture.


Vertical file cabinets can be moved with an appliance dolly, similar to how one would move a refrigerator. However, lateral file cabinets cannot be transported this way, as they won't fit through doors and may bend in the middle. These must be emptied before moving.



You can store soft items like folded clothes, linens, socks, underwear, towels, and similar items in drawers and cabinets. However, all hard items must be removed.


As your moving company, there's no need for you to lift a finger. Feel free to leave boxes wherever they lie throughout your home. Loading a truck professionally is a skilled task, and we need the flexibility to select boxes of varying weights, sizes, and shapes during the loading process. Stacking boxes in a corner will only cause delays.


Please keep open boxes to a minimum. We understand that some items may stick out from the top of a box, but we cannot stack open boxes, so kindly limit yourself to no more than 10.


Avoid folding the tops and bottoms of boxes. They should interlock when stacked. Ensure that the tops and bottoms are flat, similar to the sides, when taped shut.


Even if it’s the day before your move, if you encounter any issues or emergencies, we can provide two or more team members at our hourly rate to assist you at any time. However, please note that our insurance does not cover packing assistance or the use of your materials. You are welcome to use your own supplies.


If we handle a full pack and move for you, the only thing you need to do is open your door on the scheduled day. We will pack everything the day before your move, allowing you to enjoy your home as you wish until then.


Please note that boxes packed by customers are not insured.


Our packing materials are significantly stronger, more durable, and easier to use compared to most retail options.


Most people aren’t aware, but all super Walmarts now offer an aisle dedicated to moving supplies. Lowe’s and Home Depot are also good alternatives.


We also recycle! After your move, we'll pick up your boxes for a small fee.
