Packing Service, Inc. Blog

When it comes to moving high-value, fragile, or oversized items, standard cardboard boxes often fall short. Whether you are transporting a delicate piece of fine art, industrial machinery, or a family heirloom across the globe, the integrity of the packaging is the only thing standing between a successful delivery and a costly disaster. Since 2003, Packing Service, Inc. (PSI) has established itself as the “Gold Standard” in the industry, providing premier on-site custom crating and shipping solutions tailored to meet the most demanding requirements.

Custom On-Site Crating Solutions

One of the standout features of Packing Service Inc. is our ability to bring the workshop to you. We understand that moving large or extremely fragile items to a secondary location for crating increases the risk of damage. That is why 95% of our crating jobs are performed on-site. Our team of expert craters arrives at your residence or place of business equipped with premium, high-density lumber and specialized tools to build a custom wooden crate around your items right before your eyes.

Every crate we build is made-to-measure, accounting for the specific dimensions, weight, and fragility of the object.For international shipments, we provide ISPM-15 compliant, heat-treated wooden crates, ensuring that your cargo meets all global customs regulations and moves through international ports without delay.

Specialized Protection for Every Industry

At Packing Service Inc., we believe no item is too large or too delicate. Our services span a wide array of specialized categories, including:

• Fine Art and Antiques: We offer museum-quality crating for sculptures, paintings, and heirloom furniture, using internal cushioning and blocking techniques to prevent even the slightest movement.
• Industrial and Commercial Machinery: From heavy manufacturing equipment to sensitive laboratory electronics, our crates provide the structural integrity needed for heavy-lift transport.
• Electronics and Computers: Specialized packing methods protect against static and vibration, ensuring high-tech equipment arrives in perfect working order.
• Furniture and Pianos: Large, awkward, or high-polish items receive custom wrapping and timber-reinforced protection.

The Power of Guaranteed Flat-Rate Quotes

In an industry often marred by hidden fees and “estimates” that fluctuate on moving day, Packing Service Inc. stands apart by offering 100% Guaranteed Flat-Rate Quotes. We provide our quotes in writing based on the specific details of your job. This means the price you are quoted is the price you pay—no hourly charges, no hidden surcharges, and no surprises. This commitment to transparency is a primary reason why we have maintained an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau since 2007 and a 97% customer satisfaction rate.

Relocating—whether it is a residential move across town or a complex industrial shipment across the globe—is often cited as one of life’s most stressful events. The logistical hurdles of ensuring items are protected, loaded correctly, and shipped at a fair price can be overwhelming. Since 2003, Packing Service Inc. (PSI) has built a reputation as a nationwide leader by removing the guesswork and risk from this process. By combining on-site expertise with a commitment to price transparency, PSI has become the “Gold Standard” for customers who prioritize the safety of their belongings and the integrity of their service provider.

Comprehensive On-Site Solutions

The core philosophy of Packing Service Inc. is to provide a “one-stop-shop” experience that covers every facet of the moving and shipping journey. Unlike traditional freight companies that may only handle the transport, PSI offers a multi-faceted suite of on-site services designed to prepare any item for a safe journey:

• Professional Packing and Wrapping: Utilizing high-quality materials, our trained professionals wrap furniture and pack boxes with a focus on maximum protection for fragile and high-value items.
• Custom Wooden Crating: For oversized, heavy, or extremely delicate items like machinery and fine art, we build custom crates on-site. These are engineered to meet both domestic and international (ISPM-15) shipping standards.
• Palletizing and Shrink Wrapping: To ensure stability and efficiency during nationwide shipping, we provide expert palletizing services, securing your cargo for terminal-to-terminal or door-to-door transport.
• Loading and Unloading: We provide professional “lumper” services to expertly load or unload rental trucks, POD containers, and international shipping containers, maximizing space while preventing shift-related damage.

The Power of the Guaranteed Flat Rate Quote

One of the most significant pain points in the moving industry is the “estimate.” Many companies provide low-ball hourly estimates that escalate once the job begins, leading to hidden fees and “moving scams.” Packing Service Inc. stands firmly against these unethical practices.

We provide 100% guaranteed flat-rate quotes. By asking the right questions upfront and understanding the specific requirements of your shipment—whether it’s machinery weighing 50,000 pounds or a household full of furniture—we provide a fixed price. This means no surprises, no hidden costs, and a service that incentivizes efficiency and quality rather than dragging out the clock.

Nationwide Reach with a Personal Touch
