Tell Us What You Need to Pack

Share the type of move, approximate size, location and whether you need supplies only or packing assistance as part of the move.

Start the Move With the Right Packing Materials

Boxes are only one part of preparing for a move. Different belongings can require different combinations of cartons, tape, padding, wrapping and protective materials. Planning the supplies before packing begins helps keep the process more organized from the first box through moving day.

Estimate the Move

Consider the size of the home, apartment, office or commercial project and the types of belongings that need to be packed.

Choose the Supplies

Match boxes and protective materials to household, office, fragile, furniture and other moving items.

Pack for the Move

Use the materials for your own packing or discuss professional packing assistance as part of the moving project.

Choose Boxes Around What You Are Actually Packing

A move can involve books, clothing, kitchen items, office materials, decor, electronics and many other belongings with different packing requirements.

JC Movers can provide moving boxes and related packing supplies for customers preparing residential and commercial moves in Chicago and Chicagoland.

The number and type of cartons needed can vary according to the size of the move, the rooms involved and the kinds of items being packed.

Share the approximate scope of the move when requesting supplies so the conversation can begin with the actual items that need to be prepared.

Protect Items Inside the Box and During Handling

The box itself is only the outer layer of protection. Items inside may also need wrapping, padding or separation to limit unnecessary movement during handling and transportation.

Packing tape helps keep cartons closed, while protective materials can be used around fragile or easily marked household and office belongings.

The appropriate materials depend on what is being packed. Dishes, frames, electronics and decorative pieces can have very different preparation needs from books, linens or ordinary office contents.

If you are unsure what supplies are appropriate for a particular group of items, describe those belongings when discussing the moving project.

Prepare Larger Household Items Before They Are Moved

Larger household pieces may not fit inside an ordinary moving box, but they still need preparation before loading and transportation.

The existing packing-supplies service includes materials such as mattress bags and furniture covers for residential moving needs.

Protective wrapping and coverings can also help keep furniture surfaces separated from other items while the move is being loaded, transported and unloaded.

Let the team know about mattresses, upholstered pieces, tables or other larger furniture when discussing the supplies needed for your project.

Packing Materials for Business & Office Moves

Commercial packing requirements can differ from a household move. Offices may need to organize files, desk contents, electronics, supplies and other workplace items before the relocation begins.

The existing JC Movers service includes heavier-duty boxes for commercial moving requirements, along with other packing materials used to prepare moving items.

For a larger workplace, estimate the number of offices, workstations or departments that will be packed and let the team know whether employees will pack their own contents or packing assistance is also required.

If electronics or other sensitive office items are part of the project, identify them separately when discussing the packing plan.

Buy the Materials or Ask for Help With the Packing

Some customers only need the right supplies and prefer to complete the packing themselves. Others need hands-on help preparing part or all of the move.

JC Movers provides a separate packing and moving service for customers who want professional packing or unpacking support as part of their relocation.

Keeping the two needs separate makes it easier to define the project: supplies-only requests can focus on materials, while packing-service requests can include the labor and preparation work required.

If you need both supplies and packing assistance, mention that when requesting your moving quote so the overall scope can be reviewed together.

Tell JC Movers What You Are Preparing to Move

Start with the type and approximate size of the move, including the number of rooms, offices or work areas that will need packing.

Describe major groups of belongings such as books, kitchen items, clothing, office contents, electronics, frames, decor or other fragile pieces.

If mattresses, upholstered furniture or other larger items also need protective materials, include those details when discussing the supply request.

For commercial moves, let the team know about the number of employees or workstations involved and any office equipment that requires packing preparation.

If you would rather have JC Movers assist with the packing itself, mention that separately so packing labor can be considered as part of the overall moving scope.
