Chicago's Packing Services

Chicago’s favorite packing service: Move-tastic!

You can probably think of 100 things you’d rather do than fill boxes with your belongings and packing material. Packing can be one of the most tedious parts of the moving process. But do you know how important packing is?

Careful packing is the single most important step in making your moving experience quick, safe, and cost-effective. Failing to properly contain loose or fragile items inside boxes increases the chance that something could be lost or damaged. Also, when a mover has to make an extra trip or two to carry items that could’ve fit inside a box, they waste a ton of time. And since your moving company will charge by the hour, time is literally money!

So, save yourself time, money, and stress. Let us handle your pack for you!

Here in Chicago, “Packer” is considered a bad word—especially during football season! But we’ll give you a team of Packers that you can really root for.

  • We make it easy

    We’ll bring packing material like boxes, tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, and anything else you might need right to your door.

    We’ll clearly label each box with its contents, destination room, and care instructions.

  • We pack it fast

    Packing a house or apartment can easily take one or two people an entire week. Our experts will do it all in just one day!

    We pack you a day or two before your move so you can think about more important things—like where to put your punch bowls and Super Nintendo at your new home.

  • We’re packing professionals

    While you might pack up your kitchen or dining room once every few years, we do it multiple times each week. Our guys know their stuff!

    We assume full responsibility for the contents of every box that we pack. Learn more about moving insurance here.


Learn how we bill for packing services

Packing is not billed by the hour. This is because packing is completely dependent on the exact items you want packed instead of the size of your home. We charge for the packing material used plus the labor to pack each box.
