Process of Packing & Unpacking Services

The first and the last stages of the move are packing and unpacking, where the safety of the household or commercial items is ensured. Our packing and unpacking service providers follow all the necessary steps to keep belongings damage-free.

The packers will conduct a pre-moving survey where they prepare the inventory and list out the requirements for packing supplies. The inventory helps them estimate the number of moving boxes, wrapping sheets, packing tapes, labelling supplies and more. They will inform you about these things and let you know if there is any additional cost associated with the packing supplies.

Then, on the moving day, they will bring the packing supplies and start packing and boxing the items. For wrapping fragile items, appliances, and small-sized items, they use bubble wrap and newspaper as a protective layer. These items are placed in boxes, and all the boxes are stuffed with Styrofoam balls to prevent friction. Large appliances and furniture are packed in cardboard sheets, foam layers and plastic wrap to prevent scratches.

Each box and package are labelled either in colour format or by the numbers. They also put labels for fragile and delicate items on the boxes. This helps the loading and unloading crew to load these boxes accordingly.

Finally, these packed boxes will be transported to the destination and unloaded as per the floor plan. Once all the boxes and packages are unloaded, they will be unpacked by the professionals. They are skilled and experienced in handling the items. Sometimes special supplies are required for unpacking like a paper cutter, cardboard cutter and more to prevent any damage at the time of unpacking.
