Packing services in Montreal
Packing is the part of moving that takes the longest and causes the most stress. A typical home holds far more than most people realise: kitchen cupboards full of dishes and glasses, closets of clothes, bookshelves, bathroom cabinets, children’s toys, tools, decorations and decades of papers. Packing it all properly takes days, the right materials and a lot of patience. Packing it badly leads to crushed boxes, broken dishes and a new home full of mystery cartons.
Déménagement NST Moving & Storage offers professional packing services across Greater Montreal. Our trained packers bring quality boxes, paper, bubble wrap and tape, pack each item using methods matched to it and label every box by room and contents. You decide what we pack: your entire home, just the kitchen, only fragile items or a few rooms you have not had time for. There is no minimum.
Packing is planned with your move coordinator and included in your guaranteed flat-fee price, so you know the cost of the whole move before packing day.
Our packing services
- Full packing: we pack your entire home, room by room, before moving day.
- Partial packing: we pack only the rooms or items you choose, such as the kitchen or the basement.
- Fragile item packing: glass, china, crystal, art and collectibles packed with extra protection.
- Unpacking: our platinum service unpacks everything at your new home and removes the boxes.
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly: beds, tables, wardrobes and shelving.
- Custom crating: wooden crates for art, marble, glass and valuables.
- Packing supplies delivery: boxes, paper and tape delivered to your door if you pack yourself.
- Plastic bin rental: reusable, sanitised bins delivered and picked up.
- Wardrobe boxes: clothes moved on their hangers.
What we pack for free
Some items are hard to pack well without the right materials. As part of every NST flat-fee move, we pack these items at no extra charge: flat-screen TVs in oversized TV boxes, standard mirrors, lamps and lampshades, paintings and framed pictures, small sculptures, and computers and electronics. That means the most awkward and fragile pieces in your home are protected even if you pack everything else yourself.
How professional packing works
- Planning. Your coordinator asks which rooms you want packed and notes fragile or valuable items.
- Materials. Packers arrive with boxes in several sizes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, mattress covers and specialty boxes.
- Room by room. Each room is packed in turn, using the right box size and method for every item.
- Labelling. Every box is labelled with the room it belongs in and a short list of contents.
- Fragile marking. Boxes with glass or delicate items are clearly marked.
- Ready for the crew. Packed boxes are stacked neatly so the moving crew can load them quickly and safely.
When we pack
For most homes, packing happens the day before moving day. Larger homes or full-packing jobs may start two or three days before. Smaller partial packing jobs are often done on the morning of the move. Your coordinator schedules packing so you can still live comfortably in your home until the last day, with an essentials box set aside for the final night.
Why packing matters
Damage prevention. Most moving damage comes from poor packing, not from the truck. Properly packed boxes protect their contents from pressure and shocks.
Faster moves. Uniform, well-packed boxes stack and load faster, which keeps moving day on schedule.
Easier unpacking. Clear labels mean boxes land in the right room and you can find what you need quickly.
Less stress. Professional packers do in hours what can take a family weeks of evenings and weekends.
Packing materials we use
We use new, sturdy moving boxes in sizes chosen for their contents: small boxes for books and heavy items, medium boxes for kitchen goods and general items, large boxes for light bulky items and specialty boxes for dishes, glasses, TVs, mirrors and clothes. Items are wrapped in clean packing paper, bubble wrap or foam, and boxes are sealed with strong tape. Mattresses are covered in protective bags. If you prefer an eco-friendly option, our reusable plastic bins replace many cardboard boxes.
Packing services costs

|---|---|
| Rooms packed | Full homes take more time and materials than partial jobs. |
| Kitchen size | Kitchens are the most time-consuming room to pack. |
| Fragile items | Glass, china and collectibles need extra materials. |
| Books and papers | Heavy items need small boxes and careful packing. |
| Unpacking | Unpacking at the new home is an optional extra. |
| Materials | Boxes, paper and tape are included in your flat fee. |
You can see a ballpark price with our moving cost calculator, and your coordinator will confirm a flat fee that includes packing.
Packing for July 1 and the busy season
Around July 1, Quebec’s busiest moving day, packers and boxes are in high demand. If you are moving between late June and early July, book packing early so it can be scheduled a day or two before your move. Professional packing is especially valuable during this period, when many people are finishing leases and starting new ones on the same day.
Packing for seniors and families
Packing can be overwhelming for seniors downsizing after many years in the same home, and for busy families with young children. Our packers work patiently, set aside items you want to keep with you and help you decide what to bring. See our senior moving and family moving services.
Packing for businesses
Offices, stores and clinics also benefit from professional packing. We pack files, supplies, inventory and equipment by department and label everything for your new floor plan. See office moving and commercial moving.
Do-it-yourself packing tips
If you prefer to pack yourself, start early with rooms you use least, use small boxes for heavy items, fill gaps with paper so contents cannot shift, label every box on two sides and keep a separate essentials box. Order your materials from our packing supplies delivery service, and leave TVs, mirrors, lamps and art for us to pack for free.

How we pack common household items
Dishes and plates are wrapped individually and stood on edge in dish boxes, never stacked flat, because plates are stronger on their edges.
Glasses and stemware go into divided cartons with each glass wrapped, stems protected and the box marked fragile.
Books are packed flat or spine-down in small boxes so the weight stays manageable.
Clothes on hangers travel in wardrobe boxes, and folded clothes go into medium boxes or stay in dresser drawers when the dresser is light enough.
Lamps are separated from their shades, and both are wrapped and boxed.
Small appliances are packed in padded boxes with cords tied and removable parts wrapped.
Liquids such as shampoo and cleaning products are sealed and packed upright in plastic bags, while hazardous chemicals are left behind.
Packing for long-distance moves
When a move covers hundreds of kilometres, boxes spend more time in the truck and face more vibration and handling. Packing quality becomes even more important. For long-distance moves, we use stronger boxes, extra padding for fragile items, careful weight distribution and custom crates for valuables. Every box is labelled clearly so delivery at the destination is quick, even if the crew is unloading late in the day.
Packing services for small homes
Professional packing is not only for large houses. Studios, one-bedroom apartments and condos often have small kitchens full of dishes, closets packed tightly and shelves of books, which take a surprising amount of time to pack. A packing visit of a few hours can handle everything while you work or study. See studio apartment moving.
