Professional Packing & Unpacking Services
Professional Packing Services for Local, Interstate & International Moves
Packing can be one of the most time-consuming parts of a move, particularly when there is a full household, fragile belongings or specialist items to prepare.
Palmers offers professional packing and unpacking services for local, interstate and international moves. You can choose a full packing service, have us pack selected rooms or fragile items, or add professional unpacking at your new home.
For clients who want a more managed move, we can also arrange premium valet packing and unpacking services, including help organising and setting up the new home after delivery.
Choose the Level of Packing Help That Suits Your Move
Every move is different, and the level of packing help you need can vary just as much. Palmers offers flexible options for local, interstate and international moves, from full or partial packing through to fragile-item preparation, professional unpacking and premium valet services.
Full Packing Service
Palmers can pack your entire home before moving day, including household goods, kitchenware, books, clothing, fragile items and larger or specialist belongings. This is the best fit for clients who want the packing managed from start to finish.
Partial Packing Service
If you are happy to pack some areas yourself, Palmers can take care of selected rooms, fragile items or anything you would prefer our team to prepare professionally.
Fragile & Specialist Packing
Artwork, televisions, glassware, mirrors and other delicate or high-value items can require different materials and packing methods. Our team can prepare these items specifically for local, interstate or international transport.
Professional Unpacking Services
Moving into a new home can be just as time-consuming as packing up the old one. Palmers can provide professional unpacking services after delivery, helping you get the home functional more quickly.
Depending on the level of service you choose, our team can unpack cartons, place items in the appropriate rooms and remove used packing materials once the unpacking is complete.
Standard Unpacking
Palmers can unpack cartons after delivery and remove used packing materials once the service is complete. This is a practical option for clients who want help getting through the bulk of the unpacking and settling into the new home sooner.
Valet Unpacking & Home Setup
For a more fully managed move, Palmers can arrange premium valet unpacking that goes beyond opening boxes. Belongings can be unpacked, organised and arranged throughout the home, including kitchens, wardrobes and bedrooms.
You arrive. The boxes are gone. Your home feels like home again.
Packing Materials Designed for the Journey
Different belongings need different protection. Palmers uses purpose-designed moving cartons and protective materials suited to the item being packed and the distance it needs to travel.
From TV cartons and port-a-robes to book cartons, artwork protection and specialist materials for fragile household items, we choose the right packing solution rather than relying on one type of box for everything.
TV & Specialist Cartons
Purpose-designed cartons for televisions, artwork, glassware and other items that need more protection than a standard moving box.
Port-a-Robes & Clothing Protection
Hanging clothing can be moved in port-a-robes so garments stay upright and better protected during transit.
Fragile & Artwork Protection
Protective materials and packing methods are selected according to the item, whether it is glassware, framed artwork or another fragile household belonging.
Recycled & Recyclable Cartons
Palmers cartons are made from 75% recycled content and are 100% recyclable, helping reduce waste without compromising the protection needed for a professional move.
Professional Packing Materials
for Every Type of Move
The right packing materials make a real difference to how well belongings travel. Palmers uses purpose-designed moving cartons and protective materials suited to local, interstate and international relocations.
From TV cartons and port-a-robes to materials for artwork, glassware and fragile household items, our packing teams choose the right protection for what is being moved and the journey ahead.

Packing & Unpacking FAQs
Professional packing and unpacking can be tailored to suit how much help you want with your move. These are some of the questions we’re most often asked about packing, unpacking, materials, timing and service options.
1. How much does a professional packing service cost?
Packing costs depend on the size of the move, how much needs to be packed and whether you need full or partial packing. As a general guide, professional packing for an average 2–3 bedroom home can range from around $1,500–$2,000.
Your Palmers moving specialist can assess what needs to be packed and provide a more accurate price for your move.
2. Do removalists pack for you?
Yes. Palmers can take care of the packing as well as the move. You can have our team pack the entire home, selected rooms or just the items you would rather leave to professional packers.
3. Can Palmers pack only part of my home?
Absolutely. You can choose the level of packing help that suits you. Some clients pack most of the home themselves and leave areas such as the kitchen, breakables, garage or fragile items for our team.
Let your moving specialist know what you would like us to handle and we can plan the packing service around it.
4. How long does it take to professionally pack a house?
An average 2–3 bedroom home can often be professionally packed and moved in a single day, depending on the volume of belongings, access and the type of move.
Larger homes, extensive fragile items or more complex moves may require additional packing time. Your moving specialist can estimate how long your move is likely to take before the packing day.
5. Can Palmers pack fragile, artwork or high-value items?
Yes. Our packing teams can prepare fragile and specialist belongings including glassware, televisions, artwork, mirrors and other items that need additional protection.
We use purpose-designed cartons and protective materials suited to the item and the journey. You can also view our Packing Materials page to see some of the specialist materials we use.
6. Are packing materials included in the packing service?
Yes. When you book a professional packing service with Palmers, the cartons and packing materials required for that service are included.
The materials used will depend on what is being packed, from standard moving cartons through to specialist protection for fragile or unusual items.
7. What is included in a standard unpacking service?
With our standard delivery service, furniture and cartons are placed in the appropriate rooms so you can unpack at your own pace. Our team will also remove protective plastics and coverings from furniture items as part of the delivery process.
If you would like the contents of your cartons unpacked and organised for you, ask about our valet unpacking service.
8. What is the difference between standard unpacking and valet unpacking?
Standard unpacking leaves your cartons in the appropriate rooms for you to unpack when it suits you.
With valet unpacking, the service goes much further. Your boxes can be unpacked, belongings organised into cupboards and wardrobes, and key areas of the home set up for you.
You arrive. The boxes are gone. Your home feels like home again.
9. Do you offer professional packing and unpacking services in Sydney and Melbourne?
Yes. Palmers provides professional packing and unpacking services across metropolitan Sydney and Melbourne for local, interstate and international moves.
