Moving doesn’t always mean packing everything yourself. Whether you need your entire home professionally packed, help with selected rooms, extra protection for fragile belongings or custom crating for specialty items, the right packing service depends on what you’re moving and how much help you need.
Every move is different. Choose the level of packing support that fits your home, belongings, timeline and moving plan.
The People Movers®
Pack your entire home or apartment, room by room, and prepare everything for moving day.
Kitchenware, closets, electronics, décor, fragile belongings, and furniture preparation using the appropriate packing and protective materials.
For complete packing, the right materials are selected for each item, including heavy-duty boxes and tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, mattress covers, and other protective supplies. Using the proper materials helps save time, simplify the packing process, and reduce the risk of costly breakage or damage during handling and transit (boxes & supplies).
Long-distance moves, busy households, tight timelines, or anyone who wants to avoid spending days or weeks packing.
Pack only the rooms, areas, or individual items you select while you or your family handle the rest.
You choose where help is needed—from packing an entire kitchen, closets, and fragile belongings to preparing heavy wardrobes, appliances, artwork, or other difficult-to-pack items.
Partial packing gives you the flexibility to focus your time on other priorities during the move while leaving selected rooms, belongings, or more difficult packing tasks to the moving crew. We can focus on the rooms or belongings that require more time, physical effort, or careful preparation while you take care of the items you prefer to pack yourself.
Senior relocations, downsizing, family-assisted moves, and DIY movers who need professional help with selected rooms, heavy items, or more difficult parts of the packing process.
Explore our Moving & Storage options when some belongings need temporary storage before reaching their final destination.
Fragile only packing can be added to almost any move from DIY and partial packing to full-service and white-glove moving, when certain belongings require a higher level of protection than standard home goods packing.
Paintings, mirrors, antiques, marble and glass pieces, china, collectibles, and other delicate or unusually shaped items that require additional protection during handling and transit.
We use commercial-grade packing materials sourced from specialized moving-equipment suppliers, including heavy duty double-wall boxes, premium bubble wrap, shock-absorbing foam sheets, and cardboard corner and edge protectors to help minimize scratches, chips, cracks, and breakage during handling and transportation.
Anyone who doesn’t have the time, experience, or packing skills required to properly protect fragile belongings. Packing delicate items individually, such as wrapping each dish in packing paper or foam sheets requires the right technique and can become extremely time-consuming when repeated throughout an entire home. Professional movers can focus on this specialized packing while you spend your time on other priorities during the move.
Design and build custom wooden crates for high-value, oversized, heavy, or uniquely shaped items that require more protection than standard packing can provide.
Large paintings and mirrors, marble and stone tabletops, chandeliers, sculptures, antiques, collectible furniture, unique hardwood pieces, oversized glass panels, and other specialty items that cannot be safely packed in standard moving boxes.
Custom-fit wooden crates built around the dimensions and shape of each item, with dense foam padding, soft protective wrapping, and structural bracing to limit movement and provide secure positioning during handling and transportation.
High-value antiques, heirlooms, collectible furniture, artwork, luxury furnishings, and heavy or irregular items that require additional structural protection during transit.
