Packing and Unpacking, Explained in Detail

Six services cover both ends of a move within Romania: what happens before your mover arrives, and what happens once the truck has left again.

How a custom crate gets built

Not every fragile item fits neatly into a box. Large mirrors, framed art with wide dimensions, and glass tabletops usually need something closer to a fitted case. We measure the piece, cut plywood panels to size, and line the inside with foam so nothing shifts during transport. The crate is assembled either in the home, if there is room to work, or back at our workshop when a piece needs more careful handling. Either way, the crate travels with the piece already inside, sealed, until it is opened again during unpacking.

This approach costs more time upfront than wrapping in blankets, but it removes the guesswork of whether a corner or edge survives the trip. For items that cannot be replaced, that extra step tends to be worth the wait.

Materials included in a packing appointment

Acid-free packing paper

Used for glassware, dishes and anything with a finish that ink or newsprint could mark.

Bubble cushioning

Wrapped around picture frames, lamps and anything with a surface that scratches easily.

Dish-pack cells

Divided cartons that keep plates, bowls and glasses separated and upright inside the box.

Room and drawer labels

Colour-coded tape and labels that identify destination room and original drawer or cupboard.

Custom timber crating

Cut to size for mirrors, art and glass, built and lined before the piece goes inside.
