Professional Packing Services for Every Type of Move

How your belongings are packed determines whether they arrive intact. A dish set wrapped in newspaper and dropped in a grocery box does not survive the way it does when a trained crew uses cell dividers, packing paper, and a properly sized carton. That difference matters on a local move, and it matters even more on a long distance one, where your belongings spend days in transit across changing temperatures and road conditions.

Poseidon Moving offers professional packing for residential and commercial relocations, from a single room of fragile items to a full five-bedroom home packed top to bottom. We bring the materials, do the work efficiently, and label every box so the unloading crew knows exactly where it goes at the destination.

Why Professional Packing Is Worth It

Most of what goes wrong on a move goes wrong inside a box. These are the reasons customers book the crew to pack instead of doing it themselves.

Damage claims require professional packing. If an item breaks in transit and you packed it yourself, the carrier generally is not liable for packing-related damage. When our crew packs it, the item is covered under the valuation option you choose, basic liability or Full Value Protection. For irreplaceable or high-value pieces, that coverage alone justifies the cost.
Speed without cutting corners. What takes a homeowner an entire weekend takes a trained two-person crew half a day. They know how to wrap a wine glass, stack plates, and fill the void space in a box so nothing shifts. It is not just faster; the result is better than most people can achieve on their own.
No supply store runs. Buying boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper on your own adds up fast, and most people end up with the wrong sizes or not enough material. We bring everything, sized to your home, and the materials for the packing you book are in the quote.
Organized unloading at the other end. Our room-by-room labeling system means the unloading crew places every box in the right room without asking. That saves time at the destination and spares you a pile of identical brown boxes between you and your coffee maker.
Essential for long distance and interstate moves. The longer your belongings are on the truck, the more packing quality matters. Multi-day transit on an interstate move means more vibration, more temperature change, and more handling at each end, and professional packing is the best protection against breakage.

Choose Your Packing Level

Not everyone needs every drawer and closet packed for them. We offer three levels so you can match the service to your budget and comfort level. All three use the same professional-grade materials and labeling system, and unpacking can be added to any of them.

Hands-off

Full-Service Packing

We pack your entire home top to bottom: every drawer, closet, shelf, and cabinet. The materials, furniture disassembly, and a room-by-room labeling system are included, and custom made crating for fragile pieces is quoted alongside. You do not touch a box.

Practical

Partial Packing

You handle the straightforward items, such as clothes, books, linens, and toiletries. We take care of the kitchen, glassware, electronics, artwork, and anything that needs professional wrapping or custom crating to survive the trip in one piece.

Targeted

Fragile-Only Packing

Focused on the items with the highest breakage risk: china, crystal, mirrors, flat-screen TVs, artwork, and similar pieces. You pack everything else yourself, and we make sure the most vulnerable items are protected to professional standards.

Materials, Specialty Boxes, and Custom Crating

You do not need to buy a single roll of tape or make a trip to the hardware store. Our crew arrives with everything required to pack your home: boxes in every size, bubble wrap, packing paper, stretch wrap, corner protectors, and furniture pads. The list beside this covers every material and method we use.

For items that do not fit standard boxes, such as artwork, marble tabletops, oversized mirrors, and antiques, we build custom wooden crates sized to the piece. Furniture that needs to come apart before wrapping is taken apart as part of the service, packed items can go straight into storage between move-out and move-in, and if your building requires a Certificate of Insurance before move day, we handle that too.

MATERIALS & METHODS

The materials for the packing you book are in your quote; you do not buy or supply anything. We bring:

Heavy-duty boxes (all sizes)

Packing paper

Bubble wrap

Packing tape

Stretch wrap

Corner protectors

Furniture pads

Labels and markers

For items that do not fit standard boxes. On interstate moves, up to five specialty boxes are complimentary; on local moves they are priced per box. Request them before moving day so the crew arrives with them:

TV box

Picture and mirror box

Wardrobe box

Lamp box

Mattress box

Bike box

For artwork, marble tabletops, antiques, oversized mirrors, and anything that does not fit a standard box, we build custom wooden crates sized to the exact dimensions of the piece. Each crate is padded inside and secured for transit, and crating is quoted per piece when you book.

Every box is labeled by room, contents category, and priority level, and fragile items are flagged separately. The unloading crew knows exactly where each box goes at the destination, and you can find what you need without opening everything.

At your new home, our crew can unpack everything, break down the boxes, and organize items by room so you can settle in the same day. Unpacking is available on its own after the move or added to any packing level.

Items packed by our crew are covered under the valuation option you select, basic liability or Full Value Protection. Items you pack yourself are generally not covered for packing-related damage, which is one of the strongest reasons to book professional packing for high-value or irreplaceable belongings.

What Happens on Packing Day

Here is how a packing day plays out when our crew arrives at your home.

Walkthrough and Priority List

The crew lead walks your home with you, confirms which rooms are being packed, and identifies items that need custom crating or special attention.

Kitchen and Fragile Items First

The kitchen is usually the most time-intensive room and gets packed first. Glassware, dishes, and cookware are wrapped individually, and fragile items elsewhere in the home are handled alongside it.

Room by Room, Labeled as We Go

Each room is packed and labeled in sequence. Boxes are marked with the room name, a contents category, and a fragile flag where it applies. Nothing leaves unlabeled.

Staged and Ready for Loading

Once packing is complete, boxes are staged near the exit by weight and fragility so the loading crew can work efficiently. If packing and loading happen on the same day, we move straight on to the truck.

How Packing Services Are Priced

Packing is quoted by home size, the rooms being packed, and the scope, with the materials for that scope in the quote, so there is no separate materials bill for the packing you book. Your coordinator confirms the price in writing before packing day.

On a long distance move

Packing can be priced into your binding flat rate or at the hourly rate, whichever you prefer. Either way the number is set in writing before moving day, and the crew that packs is the crew that loads.

On a local hourly move

If the crew packs a few extra boxes on moving day, the time counts toward your working time and the materials are billed as used. For a kitchen or a whole home, book packing ahead so it is quoted by the room and scheduled the day before the move.

Specialty boxes and unpacking

Wardrobe, TV, mattress, and bike boxes are priced per box on local moves, from $20 to $75 each, and up to five are complimentary on interstate options. Unpacking is quoted as an add-on to any packing level or on its own after the move.

Services That Go With Packing

Custom Crating

Artwork, marble, glass, and antiques do not belong in a cardboard box. We build padded wooden crates sized to each piece before the move.

Custom Crating

Packing Materials

Packing yourself? Order professional cartons, paper, tape, bubble wrap, and specialty boxes, delivered to your door before your move day.

Packing Materials

Disassembly

Beds, tables, desks, and shelving come apart before wrapping and go back together at delivery, with every bolt bagged and tagged to them.

Furniture Assembly

Storage

Move-out and move-in dates rarely line up. Packed items go straight from the truck into our secure storage until your new place is ready.

Packing Services Questions Answered

How long does professional packing take?

A one- or two-bedroom home typically takes 2 to 4 hours to pack. Larger homes with three or more bedrooms may take a full day or be split across two days. The timeline depends on how much you have, the number of fragile items, and whether custom crating is needed.

Can you pack the day before and move the next day?

Yes, and for larger homes that is the approach we recommend. The crew packs everything on day one, then loads and transports on day two. Both days run efficiently, and the packing crew has the time to do the job properly without rushing to get on the road.

Do I need to empty drawers and closets before you arrive?

If you have booked packing services, no; that is our job. We empty closets into wardrobe boxes, pack dresser contents, and handle kitchen cabinets, bookshelves, and everything else. Leave it where it is and we take care of the rest.

Are items I pack myself covered if something breaks?

Generally, no. Carrier liability covers damage caused during transport, but if the damage came from how an item was packed and you packed it yourself, the claim may not be covered. Items packed by our crew are covered under the valuation option you select at booking.

Do you offer unpacking at the new home?

Yes. Our crew takes items out of the boxes, places them where you direct, breaks down the packing materials, and takes the empty boxes away. You can book unpacking with any packing level or on its own after your move.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
