Packed with care. Unpacked with ease.
Good packing decides how your things arrive. A plate wrapped in one sheet of newspaper can crack on the first speed breaker. The same plate wrapped in paper and bubble wrap, packed standing up in a strong carton, reaches without a scratch. Our packers bring the right material for every item in your home and pack each one the way it needs to travel.
You can book us only for packing, or for the whole job: packing, moving, unpacking and setting up your new home. Either way, every box is labelled, numbered and listed, so nothing goes missing and everything is easy to find.

Just the packing, or the whole job
Some people already have a truck arranged by their company and only want the packing done well. Others want to lock the old door and open the new one without lifting a single box. Pick what suits you. You can also mix the two, for example packing only for most of the house and full care for the kitchen and the TV.
Packing only
Our team comes to your home, packs everything, labels each box and makes a written item list. Furniture is opened where needed, wrapped and kept ready to load. This works well if you are moving with your own vehicle or a company-arranged transporter, or if you are putting things into storage for a while. You get trained packers, all the material, labels and an item list you can check and sign.
Full service
We pack, load, move, unload, unpack and set up. The same team handles your things from start to finish, so your boxes never pass through the hands of strangers. At the new home, boxes go straight to the right rooms, beds are fixed, the kitchen is unpacked and the empty cartons leave with us. Best for most family moves and for anyone who cannot take many days off work.
Already moved and surrounded by boxes? We also do unpacking only. Our team can come to your new home, open the boxes, put things away and take the cartons away, even if someone else did the move. Not sure which option you need? Your move manager will suggest the simplest plan.
What we pack with, and why it matters
You do not need to buy or arrange anything. Our packers bring all of this on packing day. Each material has a job. Using the wrong one, like old newspaper on steel plates or a thin box for books, is how things get scratched, stained or crushed.
| Material | What it protects | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Strong corrugated cartons | Clothes, books, kitchen items, toys, shoes | Thick walls do not crush when boxes are stacked in the truck. Heavier things go in thicker cartons. |
| Plain packing paper | Plates, cups, glasses, steel and brass utensils | The first soft layer that stops scratches. Unlike newspaper, it leaves no ink marks on your crockery. |
| Bubble wrap | Glassware, showpieces, lamps, small electronics, photo frames | The air pockets take the shock of bumps and potholes on the road. |
| Foam sheets | TV screens, polished wood, glass table tops, dressing tables | A soft cushion over large flat surfaces, so they do not dent or scratch when pieces touch. |
| Stretch film | Sofas, mattresses, wardrobes, drawers, fridge doors | Keeps out dust and moisture, and holds doors and drawers shut so they do not swing open while carrying. |
| Corner and edge guards | Tables, almirahs, mirrors, frames, appliances | Corners take the most knocks on narrow stairs and through doorways. |
| Wardrobe cartons | Hanging shirts, suits, sarees, lehengas | Clothes travel on their hangers and come out without new creases. |
| Wooden crates | Large mirrors, glass tops, marble idols, artwork | A rigid frame for things that cannot bend at all. Made to size when the item needs it. |
| Waterproof covers | Mattresses, sofas, electronics, cartons of paper | Extra protection for monsoon moves and the walk from building gate to truck in the rain. |
| Tape, labels and markers | Every single box | Strong tape keeps boxes closed. Labels tell everyone where each box goes and how to carry it. |
The cost of material is shown in your written quote, so you know it before packing day. If you still have the original boxes of your TV, microwave or music system, keep them aside. We are happy to use them.
One room at a time, so nothing gets mixed up
We finish one room before we start the next. Things from the bedroom never end up in a box with things from the kitchen, and you can keep using the rest of the house while we work. We usually start with the rooms you use least, like the store room and the showcase, and pack the kitchen near the end so you can make tea till the last hour.
Kitchen
The room with the most fragile things. Plates and glasses are wrapped one by one. The pressure cooker, kadhai and tawa go together in sturdy boxes. Masala dabbas and open jars are sealed and packed upright so nothing spills. Gas cylinders are disconnected and handled as per the rules for your route.
Bedrooms
Folded clothes go in medium boxes, hanging clothes in wardrobe cartons. Beds are opened, and screws go into a small marked bag taped to the bed frame. Mattresses are wrapped in plastic so they stay clean. Steel almirahs are emptied, locked and wrapped with foam on the corners.
Living room
Sofas get foam on the arms and stretch film all over. The TV is boxed with foam on both sides. Showpieces from the showcase are bubble wrapped one at a time. Cables are bundled and taped to the device they belong to, so setting up the TV and Wi-Fi is quick at the other end.
Kids' room and study
Books go in small boxes so no box is too heavy to lift. School things are packed together and marked, so the school bag and uniform are easy to find on Monday. Toys are boxed by type, and a few favourites can go in the "open first" box for a calm first night.
Every box has a number. Every number is on your list.
Each box gets a label like the one here. It shows a box number, the room it came from, the room it goes to, a short note on what is inside, and how to carry it: fragile, heavy or this side up.
The same numbers go on a written item list, along with furniture and appliances. You check this list and sign it before anything leaves your home, and you keep a copy. At the new home, you or a family member can tick off each number as it comes through the door. If box 14 is missing, you know at once, not three weeks later when you look for the tiffin boxes.
We also pack one or two boxes marked OPEN FIRST. These hold what you need on the first night: kettle, a few cups, tea and sugar, bedsheets, towels, phone chargers, a torch and basic toiletries. They are loaded last, so they come off the truck first.
The things that need a little more care
Some items break easily. Some cannot be replaced. Some carry feelings that no price can match. These get their own method, their own box and, when needed, a wooden crate. If something in your home needs special handling, point it out on the first call so we bring the right material.
Crockery and dinner sets
Each plate is wrapped on its own in plain paper and packed standing on its edge, which is stronger than lying flat. Cups go in with their handles facing the same way. Every gap is filled with paper so nothing moves inside the box.
Glass and glassware
Wine glasses and tumblers are stuffed with paper inside, wrapped outside and placed in divided boxes. Glass table tops and shelves get foam on both sides, corner guards and stiff cardboard, or a crate if they are large.
TV and electronics
We use original boxes when you have them. If not, the TV gets foam over the screen and a thick carton, and always travels standing up. Remotes, wall brackets and cables are packed with the TV. For washing machines, ask a technician to lock the drum before the move.
Artwork and photo frames
Paper goes on first so nothing sticks to the painted surface. Then bubble wrap, corner guards and a flat box. Valuable or large paintings can go in a made-to-size crate.
Mirrors
We tape an X across the glass to hold pieces together if it ever cracks, then add foam, corner guards and stiff board. Mirrors are loaded standing on their edge, never lying flat with weight on top.
Idols and puja items
Packed with respect, in clean material and in their own marked box, never mixed with shoes or cleaning items. Many families prefer to wrap the idols themselves, or do a small prayer before packing. Just tell us and we will wait. Marble and brass idols get extra padding or a small crate.
Plants
Small potted plants can travel on short local moves if the soil is lightly watered and the pot is wrapped. On long trips, plants often do not survive days of heat and darkness in a closed truck, so we will tell you honestly and suggest giving some to neighbours or friends.
Musical instruments
Guitars and violins travel in their hard case if you have one, with strings slightly loosened. A harmonium or tabla set is wrapped in foam and boxed. For a piano or a large keyboard, tell us early so we plan the right team and padding.
Documents and files
Important papers like property papers, certificates and passports should stay with you. Other files, like old bills and office folders, are packed flat in small boxes, sealed and marked "documents" so they are not opened by mistake.
Kitchen box in the kitchen. Kettle on by evening.
That is what good labelling feels like on moving day.
From a room full of boxes to a home again
Unpacking can drag on for weeks when you do it alone after work. Boxes sit in the corner, and you keep searching for the same pair of scissors. With full service, our team unpacks the same day, in a set order, so the house is usable by night.
You tell us where things go. We put them there. You can always rearrange later, but the heavy lifting is done.

Boxes to the right rooms
Using the labels, every box is carried straight to its room. You tick off numbers on your list as they come in.
-
2
Furniture first
Beds, wardrobes and tables are put together and placed where you want them, before the boxes are opened.
-
3
Open-first boxes
Bedsheets, kettle, chargers and toiletries come out first, so the first night is comfortable.
-
4
Kitchen and wardrobes
Crockery is unwrapped and placed on shelves. Clothes go into wardrobes. You guide us on which shelf holds what.
-

Clean up and final check
Paper and empty cartons leave with us. We walk through the house with you and sign off the list together.
-
Fittings and technicians
AC, geyser, chimney or chandelier fitting needs a technician. Ask your move manager and we will arrange one.
What to keep with you, and what to leave to us
Some things should never go in the truck, however well it is packed. Other things are best left to trained hands. Here is a simple way to split it.
Keep with you
Pack these in a bag that travels in your car or on your lap.
- Cash, jewellery and gold
- ID proofs, passports, property and school papers
- Daily medicines and prescriptions
- Laptop, hard drives, phones and chargers
- House keys, vehicle keys and papers
- Clothes for two or three days
Leave to us
These need the right material and a practised hand.
- Crockery, glassware and showpieces
- TV, fridge, washing machine and microwave
- Beds, wardrobes, sofas and dining tables
- Mirrors, glass tops and paintings
- Steel almirahs and heavy cupboards
- Anything you are unsure about
Want to pack some things yourself? Clothes, books, soft toys and linen are easy to do on your own. Use strong boxes, keep books in small ones, do not overfill, and write the room name on two sides. We can drop off cartons a few days early.
One thing to know: boxes you pack yourself are usually treated differently under transit cover, because our team could not see how they were packed. If something inside breaks, a claim may be harder. Keep fragile and costly things for our packers. You can read more on our safety and insurance page.
Boxes that get a second life
A full home move can leave a mountain of cardboard and paper behind. So when we unpack, we take the waste with us.
Cartons that are still strong are folded flat and used again on another move. Torn cardboard, used paper and plastic are sorted so they can go for recycling instead of the garbage dump.
Questions about packing
These are the questions people ask us most before packing day. If yours is not here, call or message your move manager.
Read all questionsHow long does packing take?
Most 1 BHK and 2 BHK homes are packed in a single day. Larger homes, or homes with a lot of crockery, books or decor, can take two days. Your move manager confirms the timing after understanding what you have.
Do I need to be at home while you pack?
Yes, you or someone you trust should be there. You can tell the team what not to pack, keep your valuables aside and check the item list before signing it.
Should I empty my wardrobes and drawers?
No need. Our packers empty them and pack the contents. Just take out cash, jewellery and papers first, and tell us about any locked drawer.
Is packing material extra?
Material is listed in your written quote, so there is no surprise on the day. The amount depends on what you have, for example a home with lots of glassware needs more bubble wrap.
Can you pack only a few rooms?
Yes. Many people pack clothes and books themselves and ask us to do the kitchen, electronics and furniture. We price only the part we do.
What if I cannot find something after the move?
Check your item list for the box number and its room. If a box is truly missing, tell your move manager straight away and they will trace it.
