You can therefore feel reassured that your furniture, household goods and personal belongings will be carefully packed using export-quality materials and techniques that meet the highest international moving standards.

Export Grade Blanket Wrapping for Furniture

To help protect furniture such as tables, cupboards, chairs and cabinets during handling and international transit, we use heavy-duty 6-ply blanket wrap, which is stronger than the industry-standard 4–5 ply material.

The wrap helps cushion surfaces, edges and corners against knocks, scratches and movement while your belongings are being loaded, shipped and delivered. Where additional protection is needed, our packing crews may also use layers of cardboard, corner protectors and other specialist packing materials.

Packing Crockery and China Plates

Fragile items such as crockery, ornaments and kitchenware are individually wrapped and carefully placed in double-walled export cartons. Extra padding is added to secure them before the cartons are sealed.

Antique Packing For Valuable and Fragile Items

For antiques and more expensive crockery, a higher level of protection is required. We use multiple layers of tissue, bubble wrap, card and paper. The items are then carefully placed in double-walled cartons and padded with flow-pack, paper or other materials before being sealed.

Specialist Packing For Your Household Goods

Every item in your home requires a different level of care, which is why our experienced export packing crews use the most suitable materials and techniques for each possession.

This may include heavy-duty mattress bags, specialist cartons for golf clubs and bicycles, or tailored packing solutions for unusually shaped, delicate or one-of-a-kind items. Whatever you are taking with you, we will make sure it is carefully prepared and securely packed for its international journey.

Custom Wooden Crates For Valuables

For particularly valuable, fragile or unusually shaped items, we can build made-to-measure wooden crates to provide an additional level of protection during handling and international transit.

Custom crating may be recommended for paintings, artwork, antiques, sculptures, mirrors, large widescreen televisions and other delicate possessions. Each crate is carefully constructed to fit the dimensions of the item, helping to keep it secure and reduce movement throughout its journey.

Our experienced packing crews will assess your belongings and advise which items may benefit from specialist wooden crating as part of your export packing service.

Bar Code & Inventory Tracking – For Every Item!

Keeping track of your belongings over their long journey, no matter whether it’s to Spain, Dubai, or Australia, is vital.

You will be provided with container tracking details, but at PSS, we go way beyond that.

Our new state-of-the-art tracking system means that every item of furniture and every box, is bar coded and the volume recorded for inventory and customs purposes.

This means we can record your items at every step of the journey, for example when loaded onto your shipping container or in and out of storage, to ensure that no item is missed.
