Here’s a look at the best packing techniques used by professionals to keep your goods secure during transit.

  • 1. Use Of High-Quality Packing Materials

Cheap or recycled boxes might tear under weight. At Intershift, we use:

  • 5-ply and 7-ply corrugated boxes
  • Bubble wrap, foam sheets, and stretch films
  • Sturdy packing tapes and edge guards
  • Corrugated rolls for furniture and appliances

✅ Pro Tip: Always invest in fresh, durable boxes for valuables and electronics.

  • 2. Cushioning Is Key

Empty spaces inside boxes allow items to move and get damaged. Our team fills gaps using:

  • Crumpled paper
  • Thermocol
  • Foam peanuts
  • Air pillows

This minimizes movement and absorbs shocks during transportation.

  • 3. Special Packing For Fragile Items

For glassware, ceramics, mirrors, and electronics, we use:

  • Double boxing (small box inside a larger cushioned one)
  • Fragile stickers for visibility
  • Customized wooden crates for sensitive items
  • 4. Furniture Wrapping Techniques

Furniture often gets scratched or dented during a move. We protect them using:

  • Bubble wrap + foam + stretch film combination
  • Dismantling large pieces (beds, dining tables, etc.)
  • Labeling parts for easy reassembly
  • 5. Label Everything Clearly

Each box is labeled with:

  • Contents
  • Room name (e.g., kitchen, bedroom)
  • Handling instructions (e.g., “Fragile”, “This Side Up”)

This ensures proper loading and organized unpacking at your new location.

  • 6. Use Custom Boxes For Electronics

TVs, desktop computers, printers, and audio systems are packed using:

  • Original boxes (if available)
  • Anti-static covers
  • Thermocol blocks for screen corners
  • 7. What Not To Pack Together

Avoid packing:

  • Liquids with electronics
  • Heavy items on top of light ones
  • Sharp items without protection
  • Food items for long-distance moves
  • 8. Transit-Ready Sealing

Before sealing, we double-check for:

  • Reinforced box bottoms
  • Secured seams with heavy-duty tape
  • Stretch wrap reinforcement for larger items
  • 9. Professional Team & Supervision

At Intershift, our trained packing crew:

  • Brings all materials
  • Follows an item-specific strategy
  • Uses checklist-based inventory for every move

This ensures nothing is missed, damaged, or misplaced.
