What is Included in Packing
Packing coordinator is crucial no matter what type of move you’re making. No matter if you’re moving a small apartment worth of belongings across the street, or an entire office worth of things across the country, no one wants to go through all the hassle of packing alone.
Why Choose Coastal Moving Services for Packing
- Right-sized plan: Fragile-only to full-home, pick what matches your time and budget.
- Better protection: Materials and methods that cut damage and speed unloading.
- Building-ready: Insurance documents, elevator bookings, and clean work areas.
- One coordinator: Packing aligned with your pickup, storage, or delivery schedule.
How Packing Works
- Tell us what’s moving. Home size, rooms to pack, fragile or high-value items, building rules.
- Pick your level. Fragile-only, fast full-home, or full-service with inventory; add unpacking if you like.
- Schedule + prep. We confirm arrival time, elevator slot if needed, and any special handling.
- Pack + label. We protect, box, and label by room and priority so loading and setup are simple.
Materials & Methods We Use
- Dish & glass packs: double-walled boxes, glass dividers, upright placement.
- Wardrobe boxes: hanging closets in a box; reduce wrinkles and re-hanging time.
- Mirror/TV cartons: corner guards, screen covers, rigid panels for fragile surfaces.
- Padding & wrap: paper and bubble layers sized to each item; void fill to prevent shift.
- Mattress bags & covers: clean transport, labeled by size/room.
- Edge & doorway protection: protectors for high-traffic paths during packing.
Do you offer eco-friendly options?
On request, we can prioritize recycled-content cartons and reduce plastic where the item type allows. We also offer debris removal or box pickup after unpacking.

When do you recommend custom crating?
For high-value, fragile, or irregular items—like fine art, large glass, or antiques—crating controls pressure and vibration. We’ll advise if a crate is the smarter choice.
Packing Prices (Clear & Predictable)
Your quote shows crew size, time estimate, materials, and assumptions (stairs, elevator time, parking). We align the packing day with your pickup or storage plan so timelines make sense.
How much does packing cost?
Cost depends on home size, packing level, and item complexity. Fragile-only is the budget-smart choice; full-home or inventory packing adds time and materials. We’ll show scenarios so you can choose.
What affects packing cost?
- Scope (fragile-only vs full-home vs inventory)
- Materials volume (kitchen count, artwork, TVs, glass)
- Access (stairs, elevator windows, long walks to truck)
- Speed/crew size requested
How can I save on packing?
Declutter before we arrive, group by room, label shelves/drawers, and choose fragile-only if you want to split the work. Share building details early so we lock the best time slot.

Yes. Labels include room and brief contents. We can mark “open first” boxes so setup is easier.Will you bring enough boxes and materials?
We plan materials to your home size, with extras on the truck. You won’t run short.Coastal Moving Services
