Packing instructions

Many people pack the moving boxes themselves. Packing consists of filling the moving boxes with all the loose items that are present in the cabinets and the house. Packing takes a lot of time, so you have to live between the moving boxes for days and sometimes weeks in advance. The packing work can often be done within a day by our experienced movers. Good packing requires insight, speed and quality experience. In order to make your move run smoothly, we would like to share the packing instructions with you.
