Benefits of choosing professional Packers and Movers to pack your fragile goods

Moving to a new place is indeed very exciting, but at the same time, it’s very stressful. Not only are you concerned about how all your things will be packed but also if they will be safeguarded with utmost care. So, you can receive every article of yours with zero damage. This becomes tough to achieve with fragile items like crystal, porcelain, and delicate showpieces especially if you attempt a DIY move. That’s why you should consider opting for Packers and Movers as they are qualified professionals with expertise in moving your goods which you may not possess. 

Here are the ways how a professional moving company protects your fragile items differently from a DIY experiment.

Top-notch packing material used by professionals.

This is what creates a differentiating factor between local packers and professional ones. The quality of the packing material used holds significance as low-quality materials can break can easily damage your delicate items. Whereas using premium quality products does not hamper your fragile valuables at all as the carton boxes and packing wraps are rigid and strong. 

Necessary cushioning material used for all kinds of fragile goods.

From gigantic paintings and miniature showpieces to glassware sets, all these items need different packing materials for their protection. Professional packing companies have various packing materials that will keep all your belongings safe and secure. The materials they use are packing peanuts, wooden frames, bubble wrap, waterproof tapes/ laminations, foam sheets, etc. 

Special LED boxes for all standard television sizes.

Any professional company needs to stay up to date with technological advancements and customer reviews. This allows them to grow and be better than they were before allowing customer satisfaction. An example of this is the advancement from wooden crates to LED boxes to pack televisions. Have you ever wondered why this transition? Because these wooden crates need to be hammered with nails at least 40 to 45 times which causes internal fractures to the LED screen panel and decreases the lifespan. LED boxes need not be hammered as wooden ones and in turn, cause no damage. They can also be reused as they are made of steel keeping in mind the environmental sustainability and also be locked for customer’s safety.

Use of multi-layered packing with premium quality materials

It is a no-brainer that a moving company should use high-quality packing materials to pack your belongings. But to pack fragile goods like jewellery, earthen pots, musical instruments, and ceramics not only is it important to use rigid packing material but also be aware of the technique used to pack. Multi-layered packaging is done in these 3 steps:

Step 1- Fragile items are packed using packing paper or bubble wrap, and wrapped multiple times for an added layer of protection. They even use foam sheets if required for the protection of extra delicate items.

Step 2: Empty spaces of carton boxes are filled with packing peanuts or inflatable packing material to prevent breakage. Professional packers ensure a snug fit by filling gaps with additional packing material like Styrofoam.

Step 3: Lastly, they layer items in the box, separating each with cushioning material like bubble wrap. They place heavier items at the bottom and build up to lighter, delicate items. 

Fragile items must be labelled carefully

After delicate items are carefully packed using premium packing materials and sealed with rigid packing tape. Each box must be marked carefully and with caution. For example, phrases like "Handle with care.”, "Fragile item inside.” must be labelled with bold letters and  a bright colour on the box as it enhances its importance to keep it with care.

So, now that you are aware of all the important packing materials used by a moving company to safeguard your fragile items. Keep in mind there are other aspects professional Packers and Movers look into to achieve zero damage to your delicate items like glassware, ceramics, and musical instruments to mention a few. Take note, a moving company always takes into considerations about your requirements so look for these services as well.

Professionals provide insurance coverage 

When you ask a moving company, will I be provided with insurance? And they say no, you cannot claim insurance in case of damage! Cancel them from your list immediately because the whole point of choosing a moving company is to protect your delicate or irreplaceable items.

Nevertheless, accidents can still happen during transit even after proper packing which will greatly reduce the risk of damage. Shipping insurance provides financial protection in case your fragile items are lost or damaged in transit, giving you peace of mind. That’s why you should always opt to purchase shipping insurance.

Temperature-controlled shipping services

A few fragile goods, such as perishable items, heat-sensitive electronics, or crystal artworks, can be affected by temperature and climate conditions during shipping. To prevent damage, packers use insulated packaging. So choose temperature-controlled shipping services. This extra precaution they provide in their service helps protect them against temperature fluctuations that could potentially cause harm to fragile devices. 

Use scratch-free packing materials

When fragile items are ready for shipping, it's crucial to choose packing materials wisely. Avoid using materials with rough surfaces or textures that could potentially scratch or damage the item due to its fragile nature. Utilise non-abrasive materials like bubble wraps and foam sheets that are soft and gentle on your valuable delicate.

Packing and shipping fragile items requires careful planning and consideration to ensure they arrive intact and undamaged. Here are some essential tips to help you protect your delicate belongings during transit:
