Packing

One of the most critical aspects of an overseas move is the packing. At S & K 2000, we choose our packing staff and the quality of the materials with infinite care. As specialists in international moving, all of our packing teams are fully trained and fully experienced in the delicate art of moving your valuable possessions.




All packing takes place in your home using only the best available materials. When our packers arrive the foreman will introduce himself and take a short tour of the home with you, to identify any particular items requiring special care and to agree with you on a schedule of packing that meets your needs, such as packing the beds last.

All of the materials that we utilize are specifically designed to protect your goods while in transit. For example, all furniture is wrapped in special Kraft bubble-wrap. An additional layer of double-wall cardboard will protect the surface of the furniture.

We have a wide range of cartons available ranging from book, china, lampshade, mattress, lay-down or stand-up wardrobe boxes, to specially designed tri-wall cartons for valuables such as mirrors and paintings.

Any items requiring special care such as antiques, pianos or paintings will be packed in wooden crates measured precisely to fit and protect the individual items.

Each carton and piece of furniture is then individually labeled, and a full packing inventory will be compiled.
