Imagine this: your grandmother’s antique vase, your designer furniture, and all the personal treasures you’ve collected over decades — now packed, ready to move across the country, or even across the world to your new home. One weak box, one wrong move in a narrow alleyway or rough weather at sea, and years of memories could be damaged.
At Palmers Relocations, we don’t leave that to chance.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
In 2021, Cargo Packaging approached Palmers Relocations with a shared vision: to elevate the quality, durability, and sustainability of packing materials used across Australia’s premium relocation sector. Even though the materials we used at the time were good, after testing, trying, and comparing, we realised we could do even better.
When we first met Dan from Cargo Packaging, it was immediately clear we shared the same obsession: packing materials shouldn’t just contain belongings — they should protect, endure, and perform during transit.
Together, we set out to redesign every carton and box in our system. Our goal? To create packing solutions that meet the demands of modern moving — from domestic relocations to complex international shipments — without compromising on export-grade quality or sustainability.
The Challenge: Moving Is Harder Than You Think
Most people think packing is simple. But the journey of a box inside a shipping container or a truck is anything but.
-
Boxes shift, bend, and sometimes fail under the weight of others stacked on top.
-
Depending on the journey, boxes may be handled multiple times before delivery.
-
Fragile items risk damage during repeated handling points.
-
International shipments face vibration, humidity, and long transit times. If the weather is rough at sea, the journey becomes even more challenging.
Our challenge was clear: how do we build cartons that can survive this journey, while remaining fully recyclable and environmentally responsible?
Innovation in Action: Smarter, Stronger, Safer Packing
Over 12 months, our teams brainstormed, sketched, tested, and refined every detail. We explored:
-
Carton shapes and sizes optimised for maximum strength
-
Materials that provide consistent protection, even under heavy loads
-
Designs that “play Tetris” inside shipping containers, reducing movement and improving loading efficiency
The result? A packing system that is smarter, stronger, and safer — all while being fully recyclable. By combining Cargo Packaging’s expertise with Palmers Relocations’ decades of moving experience, we engineered cartons built for modern international relocations, and they are also used for domestic moves.
The Result: Peace of Mind from Door to Door
Today, every move we undertake benefits from this collaboration. Clients can rest easy knowing that:
-
Their belongings are fully protected
-
Cartons withstand the rigours of long-distance and international transport
-
Every item arrives safely, efficiently, and with minimal environmental impact
Because moving isn’t just logistics. It’s trust, care, and attention to every detail. Our packing materials aren’t just boxes — they’re part of a service designed to safeguard what matters most. You can learn more about our professional packing materials here.
