Professional Packing Designed Around Your Move
Some customers want to relax while we pack everything. Others prefer to pack their clothing, books, and everyday belongings before having us handle the kitchen, artwork, glassware, and difficult items. Some simply need help protecting a few fragile or valuable pieces.
ICANN Moving Company offers flexible residential and commercial packing services for homes, apartments, offices, senior relocations, storage move-ins, and long-distance moves within Texas. Whether you need help for a few hours or want us to prepare your entire property, we can build the packing service around you.
Full-Service Packing
With full-service packing, our professional packers handle nearly everything for you. We arrive with the appropriate supplies and work through your home room by room, carefully wrapping and packing your belongings.
Boxes are labeled with the room where they belong and a general description of their contents, helping your movers unload them into the correct areas and making unpacking more organized.
Full-house packing is ideal when you:
- Have a busy work or family schedule
- Are preparing for a last-minute move
- Cannot comfortably lift, bend, or pack for extended periods
- Are helping a parent or loved one relocate
- Want to avoid spending days or weeks packing
- Prefer one professional team to prepare everything correctly
Instead of living around boxes for weeks, you can leave the packing to us and focus on everything else involved in your move.
Partial Packing Services
Already started packing? That is perfectly fine. You can pack as much as you want, and we will take care of what remains.
Many customers pack clothing, books, linens, and nonbreakable items themselves, then ask our team to handle the kitchen, dishes, artwork, mirrors, electronics, décor, antiques, and other belongings requiring additional protection.
Partial packing gives you professional help where you need it most while allowing you to remain in control of your time and budget.
Fragile-Item Packing
If most of your home is already packed, ICANN Moving Company can provide fragile-only packing services for specific belongings, including:
- China, dishes, and glassware
- Stemware and collectibles
- Framed artwork and photographs
- Mirrors and decorative pieces
- Lamps and delicate décor
- Televisions and electronics
- Antiques and family keepsakes
- Other breakable or unusually shaped items
Fragile-item packing is also useful when moving only a few valuable pieces, placing belongings into storage, or preparing items for a long-distance move within Texas.
Packing Materials—Your Supplies or Ours
You have several options for packing materials:
We can bring the necessary packing supplies on the day of service.
You can purchase materials from us before your scheduled packing day and get a head start.
You may provide your own boxes and packing materials for our crew to use.
Any of these options is welcome. If you supply the materials, we recommend using sturdy moving boxes in good condition and having enough packing paper, tape, and protective material available. Weak, damaged, or improperly sized boxes may not provide adequate protection when stacked inside a moving truck.
If we provide the materials, we can bring the types and quantities appropriate for the items being packed, saving you repeated trips to the store and the uncertainty of deciding which supplies you need.
Available packing materials may include:
- Small, medium, and large moving boxes
- Wardrobe boxes
- Dish-pack boxes
- Mirror and picture boxes
- Packing paper
- Bubble wrap
- Packing tape
- Labels and markers
- Other protective materials as needed
Packing materials and packing labor are listed separately on your quote, allowing you to choose the option that works best for your move and budget. Applicable sales tax is added to packing materials.
Why Professional Packing Matters
Packing is one of the most important parts of protecting your belongings. Many items are damaged because a box is too heavy, partially empty, improperly sealed, or packed without enough cushioning—not because of the drive itself.
A half-filled box may collapse when another box is placed on top of it. Dishes packed without paper between each piece can chip from ordinary movement. Heavy items placed on top of fragile belongings can damage everything beneath them. Poorly labeled boxes can also slow down unloading and make settling into your new home more difficult.
Professional packing can help:
- Reduce the risk of broken or damaged belongings
- Prevent boxes from collapsing during stacking
- Keep box weight safer and more manageable
- Protect fragile items with appropriate materials
- Organize boxes by room and general contents
- Make loading and unloading more efficient
- Save days or weeks of preparation
- Reduce the physical and emotional stress of moving
- Make unpacking at your new home easier
Packing yourself can save on labor when you have enough time and the proper supplies. However, waiting too long, underestimating how much you own, or using unsuitable boxes can lead to a rushed move, damaged belongings, and additional work on moving day. Our flexible packing services allow you to do what you are comfortable handling and leave the rest to us.
Items You Should Pack and Keep With You
For security and immediate access, certain belongings should be packed and transported personally rather than placed on the moving truck. These include:
- Prescription medications
- Cash, jewelry, and small valuables
- Identification and important documents
- Keys and travel documents
- Laptops, tablets, phones, and similar personal devices
- Firearms and ammunition, secured and transported in accordance with applicable laws
Once these personal and restricted items are set aside, our crew can handle the remaining approved household contents.
Helpful Packing Tips for Moving Day
Liquids can leak when containers shift during transportation. Ask us which household products can be transported before packing cleaners, chemicals, or other liquids. Approved liquids should be tightly sealed, kept upright, and placed inside plastic totes when possible to help contain an accidental leak.
Refrigerated and frozen foods should be placed in a cooler and kept with you on moving day. This keeps food at a safe temperature and prevents spills or spoilage inside the moving truck.
You should also prepare a personal “first-night” box containing medications, toiletries, chargers, clothing, important paperwork, and anything you may need before the rest of your belongings are unpacked.
Unpacking Services Are Also Available
Our help does not have to end when the boxes reach your new home. ICANN Moving Company also offers professional unpacking services to help you settle in sooner. We can open boxes, place belongings in their appropriate rooms, and remove empty packing debris as arranged.
Whether you need complete packing and unpacking or help with only a few fragile items, our goal is to make your move safer, easier, and less stressful from beginning to end.
