Suddath offers a range of options to fit your needs and budget.
Full Packing Services
With our professional packers and movers, you can get the assistance you need to make your move as seamless as possible. We use only the best materials and techniques and employ background-checked, professional packers. Our team is trained in our packing techniques before packing your home.
Partial Packing Services
Packing takes more than just putting items in boxes — there's a science to it. If you're uncomfortable handling fragile, valuable, large or awkward items, we can take those off your hands and give them the care they need, while still leaving you the flexibility to pack the rest yourself. With partial packing services, we'll still blanket-wrap furniture, appliances or other items that require it before loading them.
Unpacking Options
Suddath offers different unpacking options as part of our moving and packing services. Your moving team can place your furniture and other items in the proper rooms, then unpack and haul away any leftover boxes. We can unpack only the items you tell us to, or place boxes and furniture in the right rooms so you can unpack when you're ready. If you aren't sure which packing and unpacking option works for you, feel free to contact us for packing guidance and advice.
The Right Process and Packing Materials
Our expert movers and packers use professional materials and a trusted process to ensure your belongings arrive safely. Using high-quality, professional-grade packing materials like specialized boxes for dishes, wardrobe boxes and thick blankets helps protect your valuables. Our process involves careful wrapping, smart labeling for easy unpacking and proper loading to prevent shifting during travel.

PACKING SERVICES FAQ
While we cannot give you exact numbers without the details of your home, but there are a few factors that can affect the cost of packing services. They include:
• The size of your home
• Location
• Any specialty packing needs (antiques, or delicate items that require custom crating)
• How quickly you need your home packed
Hiring a packing company can actually be a cost-saving move if you factor in the time you would spend off of or outside of work buying supplies, organizing and packing.
Here are some ways to save money on packing services costs:
• Supply your own boxes. If you can supply your own boxes, especially if you can find free boxes from a recent move, you eliminate the need to purchase them from the moving company.
• Donate unwanted items. It doesn’t make sense to pack and move items that you’re just going to get rid of. Take stock of your belongings and get rid of stuff that doesn’t need to make the move.
• Pack some things yourself. If you have the time to pack some items yourself, opt for the partial packing service. Save only the items that are particularly heavy, fragile, or difficult to move for the professional packing and moving company.
