Professional Packing Services: How We Do It

Packing is often the most daunting part of moving. With our packing services your move becomes seamless, efficient, and stress-free. Here’s how we do it:

1. Full Packing Services: If you prefer to leave the packing entirely to us, we’ll handle everything from start to finish. Our team will carefully pack your entire home or office, ensuring every item is secure. We use high-quality packing materials, including sturdy boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and packing tape. Fragile items like glassware, mirrors, and electronics are given extra attention to prevent damage during transit.
2. Partial Packing Services: If you’re handling most of the packing yourself but need help with specific items, our partial packing services are perfect for you. We’ll pack fragile or specialty items like artwork, antiques, and electronics, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
3. Customized Packing: Every move is unique, and we tailor our packing services to fit your needs. Whether you need help with a single room or your entire home, we’ll create a plan that works for you.
4. High-Quality Materials: We use only the best packing materials to protect your belongings. Our boxes are sturdy and designed to withstand the rigors of moving. We also use packing paper, bubble wrap, and furniture blankets to ensure your items are safe during transit.
5. Unpacking Services: Once you arrive at your new destination, we can help unpack and set up your space. This service is especially helpful if you’re short on time or simply want to settle in quickly.

Professional Packing Services: What to Expect

What We Pack

Our team is trained to handle a wide variety of items, ensuring they’re packed securely and transported safely. Here’s what we typically pack:

• Fragile Items. Glassware, dishes, mirrors, picture frames, and other delicate belongings are carefully wrapped in packing paper or bubble wrap and placed in sturdy boxes.
• Electronics. TVs, computers, gaming consoles, and other electronics are packed with extra care to prevent damage during transit.
• Furniture. We disassemble large furniture items (like beds and tables) and wrap them in moving blankets to protect them from scratches and dents.
• Clothing and Linens. We pack clothing, bedding, and linens in wardrobe boxes or standard boxes, depending on your preferences.
• Kitchen Items. Pots, pans, utensils, and small appliances are securely packed to prevent damage.
• Specialty Items. Artwork, antiques, musical instruments, and other valuables are handled with the utmost care and packed using specialized materials.

What You Can Pack Yourself

While we’re happy to handle the entire packing process, there are some items you may prefer to pack yourself. These include:

• Personal Documents. Important paperwork like passports, birth certificates, and financial records should be kept with you.
• Medications. Keep prescription medications and medical supplies in a separate bag for easy access.
• Valuables. Jewelry, cash, and other small valuables are best transported by you.
• Everyday Essentials. Pack a “first-night box” with items you’ll need immediately after the move, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, and basic kitchen supplies.

What We Won’t Pack or Move

For safety and legal reasons, there are certain items we cannot pack or transport. These include:

• Hazardous Materials. Flammable, explosive, or corrosive items like propane tanks, paint thinner, and aerosol cans.
• Perishable Food. Items that require refrigeration or may spoil during transit.
• Plants. Live plants are difficult to transport and may not survive the move. We can only move them if you sign the release form.
• Pets. While we can’t move your pets, we can recommend pet relocation services.

The Packing Process

When you choose our packing services, here’s what you can expect:

1. Assessment. During the estimate we’ll assess your belongings to determine the best packing approach and materials needed.
2. Preparation. Our team will bring all necessary packing supplies, including boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and tape.
3. Packing. We’ll carefully pack your items, room by room, ensuring everything is secure and labeled.
4. Labeling. Each box will be clearly labeled with its contents and destination room to make unpacking easier.
5. Transportation. Once packed, your belongings will be loaded onto our trucks and transported safely to your new location.
6. Unpacking (Optional). If requested, we’ll unpack your items and help you settle into your new space.

Local Packers and Movers in Boston Area

With all of the buzz that comes with moving, one of the most crucial aspects of the entire process is to find moving help or hire reliable moving companies that pack for you.  Experienced packers and movers will make sure that nothing is overlooked, missed, or forgotten.  Whenever you are ready for packing to move, our professional packers in Boston will provide you with any packing service requested: full packing, partial packing, or unpacking services. We’ll be there to pack as much or as little as you need. We’ll also be happy to assist you with packing even if you aren’t moving or need packing service for storage or some packing supplies.

Flash Moving Company guarantees no hidden costs for packing services. The price for packing services is the same as the hourly rate for moving and is priced accordingly to the time spent plus the actual usage of packing materials,  keeping it simple and consistent for you.

Full Packing and Unpacking Services

Should you hire a professional crew to perform a full packing service, partial packing or just unpacking is entirely up to you, your time, and budget. To make the right decision, you should have an idea of what kind of packing services are out there in the market.

Full Packing Service takes all the worries out of your move. We will send experienced and professional packers to your home to pack up everything from the attic to the basement. Most of the time, we can pack your home in a day or less, taking necessary care of your specialty items, valuable, and fragile items as well.

Partial Moving Service is usually performed when you are willing to pack the stuff yourself, but still want to leave tricky areas such as the basement, kitchen, or attic to professionals.

Unpacking is the point you’ll definitely get to. In most cases, people are too exhausted to perform this tiresome business themselves. If you are looking for some assistance settling in to your new home, our professional packers will undertake the entire job and will be happy to provide a few hours of unpacking service.

Partial Packing Services

If you prefer to pack most items yourself but need help with specific belongings, our partial packing services are perfect for you:

• Fragile and Specialty Items: We’ll carefully pack delicate items like glassware, electronics, and antiques.
• Customized Solutions: Tell us what you need, and we’ll handle the rest.
• Quality Materials: We use premium packing supplies to ensure your items are protected.

Best Moving and Packing the Right Way

Whether you like it or not, moving and packing go together like coffee and donuts—one is not complete without the other. You might think that packing is easy, but as the adage goes, you don’t really know how many things you have until you’ve packed your home at least once. Even if you’re striving to be a minimalist, packing for a relocation can be a laborious and time-consuming endeavor. Simply put, it’s a chore regardless of your lifestyle, and unless you’re into unpleasant surprises, you might want to contract this chore out to a seasoned professional.

The packing and moving services we provide include organizing, wrapping, and boxing everything from your grandmother’s china to your child’s drawings.

• Not sure how to safely pack china and other breakables?
• Have no idea what items to pack first?
• Can’t tell quality of packaging materials ?

We are an experienced full-service packing and moving company, and whatever questions about packing you might have, we have the answers. We are trusted by the entire Boston area because our prices are affordable, and our quotes are  accurate. For local moves, we charge by the hour, and an industry-standard flat fee for travel time is added on top. Furniture disassembly/assembly is included in the hourly rate as well as moving blankets, but wrapping and packaging materials cost extra. Supplementary services like hoisting and heavy lifting (piano, grandfather clock, pool table, etc.) are charged separately only if they’re needed.

Even if you enjoy the process of packing, you’ll have other things on your mind as your big relocation day approaches. If you hire us as your professional packers, you’ll save enough time to say a proper goodbye to Massachusetts and all your neighbors and friends.
