Packing options explained
Choosing Full or Partial Packing Help
Deciding between full and partial packing depends on your schedule, comfort with packing, and the types of items you’re moving. Start by listing rooms or items you want professionally packed. Discussing your needs with the moving office helps clarify what level of service is right for your Cardiff move.
Full Packing Service
A crew handles packing everything in your home—furniture, kitchenware, books, clothes, and more. Ideal if you have little time or want the move managed start to finish. Full packing takes care of organizing all items, with materials supplied as needed.
Partial or Fragile-Only Packing
Choose to have only certain rooms or specific fragile items packed by the crew while you handle the rest. Fragile-only services are best for breakables such as glassware, artwork, or electronics you prefer packed with professional cushioning.
Boxes, wrap, and supplies
Packing Materials and Supplies
Packing materials may be included with your service or arranged separately. Discuss your list of items, including any specialty belongings, to ensure appropriate supplies are available when packing begins.
What Materials Are Provided?
Vector can supply standard moving boxes, wrapping paper, and tape as part of the packing service. Confirm the types and quantities you need in advance for a proper supply on packing day.
Specialty Boxes for Unique Items
Ask about wardrobe boxes or extra-protective cartons for items like artwork or electronics. If you prefer packing select items yourself, you can request only the materials you need.
Your packing day prep list
How to Prepare for Professional Packing
Decide What You Want Packed
Walk through each room and list which items or areas you want handled by the packing team versus those you’ll pack yourself.
Confirm Materials Needed
Share your inventory and any specialty items with the office to arrange for enough boxes, tape, and protective wrap.
Separate Essentials and Valuables
Place daily necessities, important documents, and valuables in a clearly marked space to keep with you personally instead of on the truck.
Label by Destination
If items are being split between a new home and storage, or different rooms, label boxes accordingly to streamline delivery.
Plan for Access and Parking
If you live in a multi-unit building or have unique access arrangements, clarify parking and loading areas with building management.
Who packs what?
Customer-Packed vs. Crew-Packed Items
Some items are better kept in your care. While the crew can pack most personal goods, plan to pack and transport items like documents, keys, jewelry, medicine, or urgent valuables yourself. Confirm beforehand if specialty items such as instruments or electronics need different handling.
Self-packed boxes must be securely closed and labeled to be eligible for loading. Review any building access guidelines and discuss with the crew what you intend to pack on your own versus what you want assistance with.

Labeling and Organization for Delivery or Storage
Labels on every box make unpacking and delivery much smoother. Mark boxes by room (bedroom, kitchen, office) and note their destination, especially if some items will be placed in storage or sent to a different address.
Using clear labels such as 'Open First' for essentials, 'Storage' for stored goods, or 'Fragile' for breakables helps the moving team place everything correctly. Finalize your box list and share any special requests with the crew before packing begins.
