Moving can be exciting — a new beginning, a fresh environment, a new chapter. But it can also be stressful, especially when it comes to protecting your valuable belongings. Whether you’re relocating within Los Angeles or planning a long-distance move, the safety of your possessions is non-negotiable.
That’s where professional packers come in. These experts handle your belongings with precision, using specialized packing techniques and materials to ensure everything arrives safely at your new home.
In this guide, Sinatra Movers shares how professional packers protect your valuables during a move, and why choosing a trusted team can save you from damage, stress, and unnecessary costs.
Why Professional Packing Matters
Most moving damage happens because of improper packing — weak boxes, incorrect labeling, or using the wrong materials for fragile items. A professional packing team eliminates those risks.
At Sinatra Movers , our trained experts follow proven systems to handle your valuables with care. From crystal glassware to large furniture, we use the right materials, methods, and attention to detail for every single item.
Step 1: Using the Right Packing Materials
Professional packers don’t just grab any box and tape — they use industry-grade packing supplies designed for safety and durability.
Common Materials Used by Sinatra Movers:
- Double-walled boxes for heavy or fragile items
- Bubble wrap & foam sheets for shock absorption
- Stretch wrap to prevent scratches and shifting
- Moving blankets to protect large furniture and appliances
- Wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes
- Custom crating for art, mirrors, or high-value electronics

These materials ensure your items stay stable during transit — even through Los Angeles’ bumpy roads and traffic conditions.
Step 2: Expert Wrapping & Cushioning Techniques
Packing fragile items isn’t about wrapping everything in paper — it’s about strategic layering.
Our process includes:
- Wrapping each item individually
- Adding cushioning between layers to absorb impact
- Securing contents in snug boxes to prevent shifting
- Labeling boxes clearly as “Fragile” or “Top Load Only”
Whether it’s glassware, ceramics, or electronics, Sinatra Movers’ professional packers use tested techniques that minimize movement and maximize safety.
Step 3: Protecting Large Furniture and Appliances
Your big items — sofas, beds, appliances — need protection too.
Our packers take apart furniture where necessary, wrap components separately, and reassemble them at your new home.
We use:
- Shrink wrap for dust and scratch protection
- Heavy-duty blankets for cushioning corners and edges
- Straps & dollies to move safely without dragging or lifting incorrectly

Step 4: Custom Solutions for High-Value Items
Certain possessions need special handling — things like artwork, antiques, instruments, and electronics.
Our custom crating service ensures these valuables are packed in reinforced wooden crates tailored to their size and weight.
For example:
- Pianos are disassembled, wrapped, and moved using our piano moving service.
- Artwork and mirrors are cushioned and placed in padded crates.
- Computers and electronics are packed with anti-static materials.
By customizing packing for each valuable item, professional packers eliminate the risk of movement or damage in transit.
Step 5: Organized Labeling and Inventory
Professional packers don’t just pack — they plan.
We create a detailed inventory list while labeling every box with:
- Room destination
- Content summary
- Fragility level
This helps during loading, unloading, and unpacking, ensuring nothing gets lost or misplaced.
Our team at Sinatra Movers uses color-coded systems to streamline this process, making your unpacking faster and stress-free.
Step 6: Secure Transportation and Placement
Packing is only half the job — safe transportation completes the mission.
Our professional movers ensure boxes are strategically loaded to prevent movement. Fragile items are placed on top, heavy boxes at the bottom, and everything is tied down securely.
Once we arrive, our team carefully unloads and places your belongings in the designated rooms — saving you time and effort.
Bonus: Insurance and Peace of Mind
When you hire professional packers, you’re not just buying labor — you’re buying accountability and protection.
At Sinatra Movers, we provide insurance coverage options that give you peace of mind knowing your valuables are safeguarded from start to finish.
We treat every item as if it were our own — and that’s a promise.
