Packing & Unpacking · Bucharest and beyond
Zinimi Patafa handles the packing and unpacking on both ends of your move within Romania. We wrap what is fragile, crate what is delicate, and unpack a working home inside twenty four hours of delivery. The moving company you choose handles the driving.
What's inside every move
Each service below solves a specific problem that shows up on moving day: what breaks, what wrinkles, what gets lost in a stack of unmarked boxes. Together they form the packing side of your move, from the first roll of tape to the last flattened box removed from the kitchen.
Artwork, mirrors, glass tabletops and anything else that cannot simply be padded gets its own layer of protection. When an item is irregular in shape or size, we build a timber crate to match it, lined and cushioned inside before it ever leaves the wall.
Clothes travel on their hangers inside tall boxes with a built-in bar. Nothing gets folded, nothing gets creased, and rehanging on the other end takes minutes rather than an evening.
Every drawer and cupboard becomes its own labelled box, so the contents of the cutlery drawer stay together and the spice rack does not end up mixed in with the pans.
Once your boxes arrive, we return to unpack them. Kitchen and bedroom come first, so there is somewhere to cook and somewhere to sleep before we move on to the rest of the home or office.
Desks, monitors, files and personal items are packed with a return-to-same-desk labelling system, so a team can sit down and keep working the next morning.
We schedule packing and unpacking around the transport window set by your chosen moving company, and we hand off boxes and crates directly to their crew.
How it works
We visit the home or office, or review it by video call, noting fragile pieces, artwork, mirrors, and which rooms need labelled kitchen boxes.
Our team arrives with wardrobe boxes, crating materials and a labelling system, working through the home or office one room at a time.
Artwork, mirrors and glass items are measured and crated, either on site or back at our workshop, ahead of the transport date.
The moving company you have booked collects the packed boxes and crates. We do not drive or transport; that part stays with your carrier.
We return once the boxes land, unpacking kitchen and bedroom first so the first night happens in a home that already works.
A move feels finished the moment you can find a spoon without opening five boxes. That is the standard we work toward on every kitchen, every wardrobe, every fragile frame.

Questions we hear often
Yes. Wardrobe boxes, standard cartons, dish-pack cells and crating timber all come as part of the packing visit; you do not need to source your own materials.
Once boxes are sealed and labelled, they sit with your moving company for transport. We are not involved in that leg, which keeps responsibility for the journey clearly defined.
Office packing is usually scheduled outside working hours or department by department, so desks stay usable until each team's turn comes around.
We coordinate with whichever moving company you have already booked for transport. Our part is the packing and unpacking on either side of that journey.
Tell us about the rooms involved, the fragile pieces on your mind, and the date your mover has confirmed. We will map out a packing and unpacking schedule around it.
Initial conversations are informational and typically take about fifteen minutes by phone.
