Packing Services

You get expert packing from Atlas. We use the right cartons for different items, the right packing materials to cushion and protect the contents, and the right packing methods to assure a safe trip. Poor packing is the most common cause of breakage during a relocation. Transporting fragile, delicate items safely involves a lot more than simply placing them in boxes. We even use wooden crates for things like crystal chandeliers, pool table slates and antiques.

When you trust your entire relocation to Atlas, you save time you probably can't spare, save worry you don't need, and save costs you didn't expect.

Antiques

Custom-built wooden crates and protective packing safeguard antique tables, marble table tops, crystal chandeliers, fragile vases and other high-value possessions.

Clothing & Draperies

Dustproof, reinforced wardrobe cartons keep clothing and draperies neat and clean, so they're ready to use right away when you arrive at your new home.

Crystal & Stemware

Chinaware and crystal are individually wrapped and packed using proven techniques. Everything's snug and safe inside.

Entertainment Electronics

The preferred way to move electronic components is in their original cartons with the original packing materials. You can do this yourself, if you like. If you don't have the cartons, Atlas can handle all the electronic equipment you may own including computers, large-screen and high-definition TVs, DVD players and VCRs, video cameras, stereo tuners and amplifiers, turntables, CD players and tape decks.

Fine China & Sterling Silver

Fine china, crystal, sterling silver, porcelain figurines — Atlas protects your family heirlooms for yet another generation to admire and to treasure.

Home Office Equipment

We treat home-office equipment (including PCs, monitors, printers, answering machines, fax machines) like your business depends on it.

Lamps

We handle lampshades only by their frames, place them in tissue-lined cartons for added cushioning, and seal the cartons. Ceramic lamps require careful packing or, sometimes, crating.

Mirrors & Glass-Front Pictures

Reinforced cartons and proper wrapping offer maximum protection for mirrors and glass-front pictures.

Special Items

Special items like fitness equipment, pianos and regulation-size pool tables are no challenge for Atlas. We move them every day. Some items may require specialized service by a third-party company, which your Atlas Agent will arrange.

Items We Can't Move

We can't accept aerosols because they might leak, or even explode, in transit. Other non-shippable items include caustic drain cleaners and flammables such as gasoline, charcoal starter, paint thinner and bottled gas.
