Step 2 - The Art of Packing

At no other time does the importance of skill and experience come into play than in packing. Properly packing items – from fragile heirlooms to expensive electronics – ensures safe passage for all of your belongings.

And nobody does it better than Premiere Van Lines. Our professional packers understand that every item you own demands the right material and packing method. From wooden crates for antiques to dust-free wardrobe cartons for clothes, to stretch wrap for upholstered furniture, we guarantee the maximum protection available for your items.

“You did a terrific job moving my laboratory from Pittsburgh to Toronto. The equipment is large and heavy (and some of it is quite delicate), so I am very impressed it made it intact. I have already recommended you and will continue to do so.”

• We wrap all breakables such as china and crystal individually using proven techniques. Plates are packed standing on end and stemware is always placed in individual, corrugated cylinders.

• Our dust-proof, reinforced wardrobe cartons keep your clothing and draperies neat and clean. So they’re ready when you are.

• The ideal way to move electronic components (computers, TVs, stereos, etc.) is in their original boxes with the original material. If you don’t have the original boxes, we can simply substitute using our own professional materials.

• For that priceless antique table, chandelier or fragile sculpture, you can be assured we only use custom wooden crates and protective packing. Our specialty is careful, protective packaging.

• Our reinforced telescoping cartons offer maximum protection for mirrors and precious glass-front artwork.

• We have no problem moving oversized or complicated items. From pool tables and pianos, to laboratories and art exhibits, we’ve done and seen it all, and moved it successfully.

• For the safety of all your other belongings, we cannot accept aerosols, caustic drain cleaners or flammables such as gasoline, charcoal starter, paint thinner and bottled gas.

• Not everything requires professional packaging. If you’re planning to pack some items yourself, consider using the same materials we use – double and triple cell constructed cartons, cushioning wraps and packing tapes.
