Professional Packing Services Made Easy

Do you hate packing? Ever thought of using professional packing services?Packing Services

It never fails, you almost always under estimate the size of your upcoming move and you never do check out international fine art moving companies. It seems you never realize how much you actually own until you decide to pack it all up.  

Lets face it, you start out with the best intentions. You start organizing early and boxing things up one room at a time. 

Then, by the time you have packed a few boxes, you just want to throw everything together and get it done as fast as possible.  

The fact is the stress of moving involves much more than packing.  The dreaded “unpacking process” can take anywhere from weeks to months. 

Having your possessions prioritized ahead of time can make this process efficient, clean, and simple.  

Why Choose Professional Packing Services for Your Next Move?

There are many reasons people choose to hire a professional packer when it is time to move.  Some people are physically limited or unable to pack their belongings themselves. Others just do not have time to devote to the move. 

Hiring professional packers dramatically reduce the time it takes to pack your home and belongings, depending on how many possessions are being packed.  

If you need to move quickly, professional packing services are the way to go!  The most common and basic need for a professional packer is the need for an organized and speedy unpacking process.  

The first step to starting your packing process is to contact Strong College Students about their full service packing.

They will speak to you about pricing, time estimation, and what supplies will be needed.  After you have agreed to have your possessions professionally packed, the process will begin.

When you hire a professional packer, they will first assess and prioritize your move, checking details to make sure that they have a plan of action.  

They will list your items that need to be relocated, and make notes on items that require special care.  

At Strong College Students, our packers are experienced and knowledgeable. They will ensure that your valued possessions are handled appropriately.

When the packing starts, all large furniture is taken apart, wrapped as necessary, and set up for easy loading.

Pictures and art are also wrapped according to instruction, and carpets or rugs are rolled and staged for loading as well.  It is good to have everything properly packed as noone wants to get a teared off rug as a reminder of the previous move.  Although it could be a good reason to check out and buy designer rugs at nwrugs.com/collections/magnolia-home-rugs-joanna-gaines.

The frames will rub against each other during the move and get scratched up if you don’t. Use big boxes for your lampshades, too. You don’t want them to be dented and crushed. If you want to save money, check Craig’s List – lots of folks give the boxes away after they’ve moved”.

3 – Pack your boxes according to room. Put all your master bedroom stuff together, all the kitchen stuff together, all the bathroom stuff – ok you get the picture.

Packing your pots and pans before moving

 Moving is an activity that most people despise and dislike which is most likely the reason you are on our website. Packing is also another task that most who are familiar with moving seem to avoid or put off to the last minute. When packing your kitchen you are going to have to pack your pots and pans. Packing is easier if you have the right materials before hand. When you begin packing your kitchen it’s best to have the following:

Medium-sized, sturdy moving boxes.
Packing paper, kraft paper, or you can be green and use old newspaper
Packing Tape
Black Sharpie

Before packing you boxes it’s a good idea to make sure they are ready to carry the items you are about to place in them. Make sure you tape the seems of the boxes with a little reinforcement especially since pot and pans in a box can begin to add up weight wise in a hurry.

Take your paper and crumple it up into loose spheres. If you pack it too tight you may exhaust you paper supply and reduce the shock absorbency. After creating your paper spheres place them in the bottom of your boxes to provide a layer of cushion on the bottom.

Next you want to group all pots and pans together with their lids so you don’t have to search for them when you begin unpacking. It’s best to place smaller pots inside of larger pots. Before placing the smaller pots inside of larger pots be sure to place a few sheets of paper inside to keep them from rattling or clinging against each other. Follow this method to place your pots and pans inside of your box leaving enough space for the lids. Once your ready to pack you lids I go ahead and wrap them in paper and place them in the remaining space. Continue this method until you have packed all of you pots and pans.

After you have packed all your boxes use you sharpie to label them “Kitchen” and if you prefer you can also add a sub label like “pots and pans” “utensils” or “spices”. Make sure to label them on multiple sides and large lettering so you can see the labels from a far and without having to move the box.
