What Are Professional Packing Services?
Professional packing services are designed to take the time, labor, and organization involved in preparing belongings for a move off the customer’s shoulders.
Instead of packing everything yourself, professional movers can prepare your belongings for transportation using appropriate packing materials and techniques.
Professional packing may include:
- Household furniture
- Kitchenware
- Glassware
- Dishes
- Clothing
- Books
- Electronics
- Artwork
- Decorative items
- Fragile belongings
- Office equipment
- Business materials
- Boxes and other household goods
The amount of packing assistance you need depends on your belongings, schedule, budget, and moving plan.
Full-Service Packing or Partial Packing
Not every customer needs an entire home packed by professional movers.
Hansen’s Moving & Storage offers packing services that can accommodate different levels of assistance. Customers can arrange for professional packing of an entire home or business, or request help with only selected items or areas.
Full Packing Services
Full packing is designed for customers who want professional movers to handle the majority of the packing process.
This can be particularly useful when:
- You have a large home
- You have many belongings
- You have limited time before moving day
- You are preparing for a long-distance move
- You have numerous fragile items
- You want to reduce the physical work involved in moving
Partial Packing Services
Partial packing allows you to handle some of the packing yourself while having professionals take care of specific items or rooms.
For example, you might pack clothing and books yourself while having professional movers pack fragile kitchenware, artwork, electronics, or other difficult items.
This flexible approach allows you to choose the level of assistance that makes sense for your move.
Packing Services for Residential Moves
Packing a household can be one of the most challenging parts of moving.
A typical home may contain hundreds of individual belongings, and many of them require different types of preparation.
Professional residential packing can help with:
- Kitchens
- Bedrooms
- Living rooms
- Dining rooms
- Home offices
- Garages
- Storage areas
- Fragile collections
- Decorative items
Hansen’s Moving & Storage provides residential packing as part of its broader moving services.
Whether you need the entire home packed or only certain belongings prepared for transportation, the packing plan can be adjusted to your needs.
Packing Services for Businesses and Offices
Businesses can also benefit from professional packing.
Office relocations may involve desks, chairs, electronics, files, equipment, supplies, and other materials that employees may not have time to pack while continuing their normal work.
Hansen’s provides professional packing services for businesses as well as residential customers.
Commercial packing can help prepare:
- Office furniture
- Files and documents
- Office supplies
- Electronics
- Equipment
- Retail materials
- Display items
- Business inventory
A professional packing plan can also organize items according to departments, rooms, or their destination within the new facility.
For complete business relocation assistance, see our Commercial Moving Services page.
Packing Fragile and Valuable Items
Fragile items often require more preparation than ordinary household goods.
Examples include:
- Glassware
- Dishes
- Mirrors
- Artwork
- Antiques
- Collectibles
- Decorative objects
- Electronics
- Lamps
- Specialty household items
Professional packing can help reduce the risk associated with improperly packed items by using suitable materials and careful handling techniques.
If you have especially valuable, fragile, oversized, or unusual belongings, identify them when discussing your packing requirements so the moving team can plan accordingly.
Packing Before Moving Day
Professional packing can be scheduled before the actual moving day so that your belongings are organized and ready for transportation.
This can be especially useful for customers who have busy schedules or want to avoid spending their final days before a move surrounded by boxes and packing materials.
A typical preparation process may include:
- Identifying what needs to be packed
- Separating belongings that are not being moved
- Determining whether full or partial packing is needed
- Preparing appropriate packing materials
- Packing and protecting belongings
- Labeling boxes
- Organizing packed items for moving day
Good organization makes it easier to identify belongings and determine where they should go when they arrive at the new location.
Packing Supplies
Hansen’s Moving & Storage provides packing supplies for customers who choose to pack some or all of their belongings themselves.
Having the right materials can make a significant difference when preparing household or business property for transportation.
Common packing materials may include:
- Moving boxes
- Specialty boxes
- Protective materials
- Wrapping materials
- Tape
- Packing paper
- Protective covers
- Wardrobe boxes
Hansen’s also provides free use of wardrobes for moving customers.
Wardrobe Packing
Clothing can be particularly inconvenient to pack because it takes time to fold, box, unpack, and reorganize.
Hansen’s provides free use of wardrobes for moving customers, allowing clothing to remain hanging rather than being folded into standard boxes.
Wardrobe boxes can make the transition between homes more convenient and help simplify the packing and unpacking process.
Packing and Moving With One Company
Coordinating packing and moving through separate companies can create additional scheduling and communication.
Using one moving company for multiple services can make the process easier to coordinate.
Hansen’s Moving & Storage offers:
- Professional packing
- Moving services
- Residential moving
- Commercial moving
- Local moving
- Long-distance moving
- Storage
- Specialty moving
This means customers can discuss their packing and transportation requirements together when planning their move.
How the Local Moving Process Works
A well-planned move can make moving day more predictable and organized. Hansen’s recommends getting an estimate well ahead of the moving date and creating a plan and timeline for the move. The company offers free, no-obligation estimates.
Request a Free Moving Estimate
Start by providing information about your move, including where you are moving from, where you are moving to, your preferred moving date, and any details that may affect the job.
Plan Your Move
A moving plan helps determine what needs to be packed, what will be moved, whether storage is needed, and what services will be required.
Planning ahead can also help identify specialty items, access issues, and other considerations before moving day.
Prepare and Pack
You can pack your belongings yourself or use professional packing services. Hansen’s offers full packing services and packing supplies for customers who want additional assistance.
Moving Day
On moving day, the professional moving crew loads your belongings onto the moving truck and transports them to the destination. With full-service moving, the crew also unloads the belongings at the new location.
Delivery and Unloading
Once the truck reaches the destination, the moving crew unloads your belongings. Having a plan for where furniture and boxes should go can make the final stage of the move easier and more organized.

Benefits of Professional Packing
Professional packing can be particularly valuable for customers who want to save time and reduce the physical work involved in preparing for a move.
Some potential benefits include:
Saves Time
Packing an entire household can take a significant amount of time. Professional assistance can allow you to focus on other aspects of the relocation.
Reduces Physical Work
Packing requires repeated lifting, bending, reaching, carrying, and organizing. Professional movers can handle much of this physical work.
Helps With Organization
Experienced packers can create a systematic approach to preparing belongings for transportation.
Provides Help With Fragile Items
Certain belongings require more attention than standard household goods. Professional packing can provide additional assistance with these items.
Simplifies Moving Day
Having belongings packed and organized before the moving crew arrives can make the moving process more straightforward.
Packing Tips for Customers Who Pack Themselves
If you prefer to pack some of your belongings yourself, a few simple practices can help.
Start Early
Avoid leaving the entire house until the final day. Begin with items you do not use regularly.
Pack Room by Room
Keeping items from different rooms together makes unpacking easier.
Label Every Box
Include the room and a general description of the contents.
Do Not Overload Boxes
Heavy items can make boxes difficult to carry and may increase the risk of damage.
Protect Fragile Items
Use appropriate protective materials and avoid leaving empty space that allows items to move around inside the box.
Keep Important Items Accessible
Keep medications, important documents, valuables, chargers, basic toiletries, and other essential items separate from the belongings being packed for the truck.
Packing Services for a Local or Long-Distance Move
Professional packing can be useful regardless of how far you are moving.
For a local move, packing services can save time and make moving day easier.
For a long-distance move, proper preparation can become even more important because belongings may spend more time in transportation.
Hansen’s Moving & Storage provides both local and long-distance moving services, allowing customers to coordinate packing with their broader relocation plan.
For more information about long-distance relocation, visit our Long Distance Moving Services page.
Packing and Storage
Packing and storage often go together when customers are moving between homes or need additional time before their belongings can be delivered.
For example, you may need storage when:
- Your new home is not ready
- You are renovating
- You are downsizing
- Your closing dates do not align
- You are temporarily relocating
- You need additional space
- You are transitioning between business locations
Hansen’s Moving & Storage provides storage options for customers who need to store belongings for days, weeks, months, or longer.
