Every move is different. Before packing begins, we review the number of rooms, the items requiring special attention, access conditions, and the belongings you plan to transport personally.
Professional Unpacking Services
Unpacking after a move can be time-consuming. Our unpacking service helps you settle into your new home or office more quickly. When arranged in advance, our team can open packed boxes, remove wrapping materials, place items in the appropriate rooms, and help reduce the amount of packing debris left behind.
Our Unpacking Service May Include:
- Opening boxes and removing packing materials
- Placing items on counters, tables, or other designated surfaces
- Organizing boxes and belongings by room
- Reassembling furniture that was disassembled for the move
- Unwrapping protected furniture and larger household items
- Collecting empty boxes and used packing materials
- Removing packing debris when included in the service agreement
Unpacking assistance must be discussed before the move so we can schedule the appropriate time and team. Detailed home organization, cabinet arrangement, cleaning, installation, and handyman services are not automatically included unless specifically arranged.
Full-Service Packing and Unpacking
Customers who prefer a more complete moving experience can request both packing and unpacking services. Our team can pack your belongings at the pickup location, transport them to the new address, and provide scheduled unpacking assistance after delivery.
This option is especially helpful for busy families, professionals, senior relocations, office moves, customers with limited time, and long-distance moves with firm deadlines.
Residential Packing and Unpacking
Our residential services are available for houses, apartments, condominiums, townhomes, and senior relocations. We can assist with an entire home or focus on selected areas such as the kitchen, bedrooms, closets, garage, home office, or storage spaces.
Customers who prefer to pack some belongings themselves may request partial packing assistance. This option allows our team to focus on fragile, valuable, oversized, or difficult-to-pack items while you prepare clothing and personal belongings.
Kitchen and Fragile-Item Packing
Kitchens often require more time and materials than other rooms. Dishes, glasses, cookware, appliances, and decorative pieces must be packed carefully to reduce movement inside each box. Our team uses appropriate wrapping materials and labels kitchen boxes to make them easier to identify at delivery.
Mirrors, artwork, lamps, televisions, glass tabletops, and other delicate belongings may require additional protection. Tell us about fragile or unusually shaped items before your move so we can plan the materials and handling they may need.
Furniture and Household Item Protection
Furniture protection is an important part of an organized move. Depending on the item, our team may use moving pads, stretch wrap, protective covering, and other materials to help protect surfaces during handling and transportation.
Furniture that cannot move safely through doors, hallways, elevators, or stairways may need to be carefully disassembled. At the new location, furniture disassembled by our moving team may be reassembled as part of the agreed moving service.
Commercial and Office Packing Services
Businesses may need packing assistance for files, office supplies, computers, equipment, furniture, inventory, and common areas. Mid Atlantic Van Lines helps commercial customers organize packing and unpacking in stages to reduce disruption and keep items clearly labeled by department, room, or workstation.

Packing for Local and Long-Distance Moves
Professional packing and clear labeling can help make both local and long-distance moves more organized. For local moves, labeled boxes help the moving crew place belongings in the correct rooms. For long-distance moves, careful preparation is especially important because items may remain in transit for a longer period.

How Our Packing and Unpacking Process Works
1. Review Your Moving Needs
Tell us about the size of your home or office, the rooms being packed, fragile belongings, access conditions, moving date, and destination.
2. Prepare a Service Plan
We determine whether you need full packing, partial packing, unpacking, or a combination of services. We also review the materials and scheduling requirements.
3. Pack and Label Your Belongings
Our team prepares the selected items for transportation, organizes boxes by room, and labels them for easier delivery and unpacking.
4. Deliver and Unpack
At the destination, boxes are placed in their designated rooms. If unpacking service was scheduled, our team completes the agreed unpacking tasks and collects included packing debris.
How to Prepare for Packing Day
A little preparation before the packing team arrives can make the process faster and more organized.
- Separate identification, medications, keys, chargers, important documents, and valuables that will remain with you.
- Set aside clothing and personal necessities needed during the move.
- Identify fragile belongings and items requiring special attention.
- Remove trash, unwanted items, and expired household products.
- Confirm parking, elevator reservations, and building access requirements.
- Keep children and pets in a safe area away from the active packing space.
- Tell us which items should not be packed.
Some materials and household products may be restricted from transportation. Please tell us about cleaning supplies, chemicals, fuel, propane, paint, aerosols, plants, food, or other questionable items before packing day so we can discuss appropriate handling.
