Packing and moving crates
Plastic crates are faster to pack, stack better on a truck and do not need tape. We drop them off before the move and collect them after.
Packing options
Crate rental
Reusable plastic crates with lids, delivered with labels and collected when you have unpacked.
Packing crew
Our crew packs files, shelves, kitchens, storage rooms and equipment so your staff can keep working.
Specialty packing
Artwork, glass, lab and clinic equipment and fragile displays packed with extra protection.
Labels and colour codes
Each crate is labelled with the floor, room and desk it goes to.
Starting prices for packing
| Item | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Plastic moving crate rental | from $2 per crate per week |
| 3 movers with a 26 ft truck | from $150 per hour |
Starting prices in CAD before tax, based on typical Toronto and GTA market rates. The final price depends on volume, floors and elevators, distance, timing and building rules, and is confirmed in your written quote.
Crates are usually rented for one to two weeks. Packing crews are charged at the crew rate.
How many crates will you need?
A rough rule used by many offices is three to five crates per person for a typical desk, plus extra for shared files, storage rooms and kitchens. We confirm the number after the walkthrough.
Packing questions
When are crates delivered?
Usually one to two weeks before the move, so staff can pack at their own pace.
Can we pack ourselves?
Yes. Many offices pack desks themselves and book our crew only for shared areas and equipment.
