Packing Appliances: Small appliances should be wrapped in packing paper or use your towels and linens. Tape the bottom of a medium box securely and put down a layer of padding. For large appliances, make sure you check your owner's manual for any special instructions. Tape down any parts that could come loose, the burners on your stove, the electrical cords, for examples.

Packing Art and Collectibles: Give the items plenty of space, and make sure you add lots of packing material on the sides (or towels, linens etc.), between items and on top. Remember to label the box "fragile." Tape an X of masking tape across mirrors and paintings framed with glass.

Packing Electronic Equipment: If possible electronic equipment such as stereos, TVs and computers should be packed in their original boxes with their original packing material.

Packing Furniture: If you take your furniture apart in any way, make sure you put all nuts, bolts and screws in a small zip-lock bag and tape the bag to the furniture.

Packing Kitchenware: If you are packing on your own you may wrap breakable items in wrapping paper or bubble wrap. Put layers of bubble wrap between each plate and bowl. Fill the top bowl with wrapping paper, towels or linens. Make sure you put the heavier items on the bottom of the box. Please use cell packs to separate delicate items.

Sensitive equipment requires additional protection. Shelli Van Lines Inc. will provide you with a trained crew that will perform the following services:
1) Wrap all sensitive computer equipment with bubble wrap and/or quilted blankets.
2) Place all items in proper receptacles (usually hardwood, mobile computer bins with adjustable shelves.
3) Use of hydraulic lift gates for main frames.
4) Air ride suspension vehicles for further safety.

Packing and Unpacking
Shelli Van Lines will provide trained professionals to pack and unpack all items from glass shelving units to typical office goods. Each item gets carefully packed, tagged for identification and unpacked in the desired areas. For unusually delicate glass, marble etc. we provide in-house carpenters to build custom crates to ensure maximum safety.

Heavy Handling Equipment
Movement of safes and other heavy equipment is made easy by the use of safe jacks and other specialized equipment. We provide heavy moving equipment and cranes as necessary.

Please decide which items you'll need for your first few days in you new home so that they may be packed in separate boxes and labeled accordingly. This will give you time to organize you new home at your own pace! And most important - ENJOY YOUR NEW HOME!
