This also frees up a lot of time and energy and can make the difference between a tense few days and an easy ride for your move from Wellington to Auckland.
Professional packing will include the use of dedicated packing materials designed to protect your items while still facilitating a tight pack. You don’t want to end up with more bulk than you need when it comes time to load things into your truck, and choosing our packing services is a great way to make sure your bill doesn’t skyrocket unnecessarily.
Packing fragile items shouldn’t necessarily translate to more layers of packing materials, and if you leave it to the team at The Moving Company, you can access speciality packing techniques.
Here are a few ways we protect your fragile and high value items:
1. Electronics
Shifting your electronics can be tricky, and not just because these high value items are likely to have glass as a major component. Items like TV’s and computer monitors can also be oddly shaped and include stands or mounts which may be awkward to wrap. At The Moving Company, we utilise dedicated TV packing cartons which mimic factory packing. These come with polystyrene inserts for enhanced safety and stability.
2. Artwork & Mirrors
If you have a collection of treasured artwork or multiple mirrors, then you will want to be sure that your movers Wellington to Auckland are on the road with your belongings perfectly packed for a safe arrival. As these items can be all sorts of different shapes and sizes you will need expandable cartons applied here, as this will be the best way to avoid broken frames, breakage or cracked glass.
3. Tube Wrapping
Tube wrapping is perfect for your glassware, crystal, delicate ornaments and fragile china and crockery. At The Moving Company, we have ready made tube packing to save you time and money and offset the risk of losing treasured pieces on the road.
