5 Items You Want Packed Professionally

When you’re planning for a move, one of the biggest decisions you have to make is deciding whether to have your items professionally packed or to pack them yourself. While some people are perfectly fine with packing their own items, there is considerable risk of damage if you do not pack them correctly. When it comes to expensive or valuable items, it is often worth the small extra cost to have them packed by a professional moving company. 

Here at Camelot Moving & Storage, in addition to providing the trucks and manpower for your local or cross-country move, we also offer packing services. Here are five items that we recommend that you get professionally packed by our experienced movers. 

Televisions

A television is typically one of the most expensive items that a person owns, and its large and awkward shape makes it tough to pack for a move. For maximum protection from damage, moving companies will cover your flatscreen TV with foam and put it in a special box. We’ll make sure that the box is kept upright in order to prevent it from moving around in our truck. 

Glass Objects

Things like kitchen glasses and wine glasses are especially prone to moving-related damage or breakage if not packed correctly. Our movers will wrap each individual piece into plenty of bubble wrap, put a piece of cardboard around it, and then load them all up into a well-protected moving box. If you choose to do this on your own, it could take hours to complete the process. 

Bedroom Furniture

The furniture in your bedroom is often some of the most valuable and fragile furniture in your home, which is why it’s best to leave moving it to the professionals. We will take the furniture apart, if necessary, and then wrap it all in heavy blankets protected by plastic wrap to prevent scratches or damage when we’re moving it from your house to the truck. Cardboard will be placed on the corners of desks and tables and on the top of glass surfaces to prevent any damage. 

China

Not only is china fragile, it is often a priceless family heirloom. As such, the utmost care should be taken when handling fine china and dishes during a move. To pack items like this, our moving company uses dish packs, which are exceptionally sturdy corrugated cartons of double-wall construction. We’ll wrap each piece of china and glassware individually in clean paper so that it has more than enough padding to handle the move without suffering any damage. 

Plants

A move can be traumatizing to your plants, so moving and packing plants should be left to the professionals. Before the move, put your plants in heavy ceramic planters in order to avoid any damage.
