PACKING SERVICES:

We ahve listed some of the categories and their commonly used packing material here to let you know better:

Glassware & Dishes Packing
Glass items need extra care while packing since these items are very sensitive and if packed in a wrong manner, it can result in a broken item. To pack an glassware the material used are: bubble sheet and/or newspaper to pack individual item initially and then put these into a suitable box of either wood or metal. Fragile (easily breakable) items such as china, glass and ornaments are individually wrapped in materials like "bubble pack", acid free tissue paper or white paper (depending on the item) and then packed in double wall export cartons.

Furniture Packing
For furniture, quilted moving blankets are apt. Also, the furniture is wrapped in paper pads to prevent it from dust or light scratching. For prevention against heavy scratching, the furniture is wrapped in corrugated sheets. The exposed legs (on tables and chairs) are wrapped in bubble wrap or newspaper.

Electronics Items Packing
For computers, electronic and other fragile products, it is best to use anti-static bubble wrap and packing peanuts. First the item is carefully wrapped with the anti-static bubble wrap and then taped. A portion of the box that contains these items is filled with packing peanuts. Then the item(s) is placed in the box (es) and toped off with the remaining portion of the packing peanuts (only electronics require anti-static bubble wrap).

Packing of Major Appliances
The owner's manual must be checked for any special instructions before the packing starts. Make sure the inside and outside of all appliances are clean. The inside of some appliances, such as washing machines and dryers, can be stuffed with towels or linens and the parts that could come loose should be taped down. The appliance can be then wrapped with furniture pads and tied securely.

Lamps and Home Decoratives Packing
All the bulbs and shades are carefully removed from the base unit and packed in sturdy cartons labeled "fragile". Items like wall hanging, artifacts etc are wrapped individually with bubble wrap, blankets or towels and packed "'flat items" on their edges. For pictures, mirrors etc, both sides are covered with bubble wrap and heavy cardboard and subsequently binded with tape.

Lawn and Garage Items Packing
Before packing, all gasoline and oil must be removed from items like lawn mowers, weed eaters, chain saws and other equipment and the batteries must be disconnected. After tightly securing the lid, the moving parts must be immobilized. Long garden tools can be strapped into a bundle while heavy power tools are put in a sturdy box and the empty space is filled with newspaper.

Art and Antiques Packing
Any item requiring specialist care such as antiques or paintings are packed in internal wooden crates, that are measured exactly to fit and protect the individual items. Each piece is individually wrapped in bubble wrap. The bottom of a large box is padded with crumpled newspaper or Styrofoam peanuts and the items are given plenty of space in the placement. Lots of packing material is put on the sides, between items and on top.
