One of the most tedious and stressful aspects of an interstate move is getting all your household or office items safely packed.

Depending on your budget you may want an all-in-one moving service, or you might just want help with packing some essentials. Choose the level of service you desire:
Packing is one of the most protracted moving jobs. Getting everything organized, wrapped, and placed snuggly in boxes takes hours upon hours. Free up your time and hire full-service packers to bundle up your entire home or office. Knowing how to properly pad and wrap delicate items such as china, crystal, glassware, art, and antiques, is a job that professionals are trained to do.
If budgetary constraints don’t allow for a full-service move, our expert movers and packers can provide partial packing services for you. You can pack up the easy stuff like clothes, linens, and books, then our experts can tackle more difficult items to pack such as electronics, art, and delicate items. Or you can choose to have certain rooms packed. Kitchens can be tedious to pack because many items like dishes and glassware are fragile and require careful padding and wrapping before boxing. Our experts can professionally pack up your kitchen or any specific part of your household to make your move easier and less stressful.
Typical households have at least one or two big, heavy items that are not only bulky but fragile. While you may be packing up your home on your own, you’ll want professionals to dismantle, properly pad, transport, unload, and set up your piano. Professionals with know-how are also the best choice to disassemble and move your pool table. You’ll crave a good long soak in your hot tub after your move, so you’ll want experienced movers who know how to dismantle the plumbing, properly protect the fragile finish on the tub, move it, and reassemble it, so it’s ready for use immediately after your move.
You may have specialty items that require custom crates to protect them during a move. Wooden crates are custom built specifically for items such as art, antiques, marble statues, chandeliers, and large sculptures. Particularly valuable or fragile items are best shipped in a crate because they’re padded or strapped inside to make sure they remain stationary throughout transit. Once the crate is delivered to your home or office, the item is removed and placed where you specify, and the crating materials are carted off by the shipping company.
While many items, like clothes, linens, and books, can withstand miles in the back of a moving truck, most of the other items in your home or office require careful packing. You can’t throw your vintage lamp in a box and expect it to survive the many miles of your move unharmed. Professional interstate movers pride themselves in using clean packing paper, bubble wrap, stretch wrap, sturdy clean boxes with lids, and strong packing tape. They also have clean moving blankets, wardrobe boxes with rails, mattress bags, and other specialty packing materials to customize your move. Ian’s Interstate Movers will connect you with movers who only use premium packing supplies for your move.
Whether you choose full-service packing, partial packing, or are planning a DIY move, decide on the type of packing that best meets your needs so you can start planning and organizing your move as early as possible. Follow these helpful tips as your start packing your household:
