• Sorting before Packing

As Marie Kondo says, “The important thing in tidying is not deciding what to discard but rather what you want to keep in your life.” Similarly, to curate a good library and keep the adventures going, it’s necessary to let some stories go. 

You can gift them to your friends or probably donate them to a charity including schools, local libraries or sell them off at a bus library. Getting them recycled is also a good way to lessen your burden while packing and moving. 

And with a heavy heart, if you proceed to give a few books to your friend, we’ll microshift books and bookshelf for you. 

2 or 200 books, we’re there for you!

• Divide before the Ride

It’s not recommended to pack books in a haphazard way. Choose one base for segmentation, be it size, type, genre, or relevance, and stick to it. While some of you can segregate them on the basis of colors or aesthetics. Keep each segment separate and put them in different packaging boxes. For example, you might want to keep all novels together and all self-help ones separately.

The way we have trained our house shifting team, they’ll take good care of your feelings and priorities. 

Porter packers and movers experts support your decisions and requirements and take lead on packing considering the segmentations mentioned by you.

Your concern. Our priority. 

• Small Boxes for Portable Magic

Ideally, books should be packaged in small cardboard boxes wherein they can be safely stored without making house shifting a tiresome task. Porter’s Packers and Movers provides genuine packing to ensure safe movement with the smallest carton size being 1.5ft x 1.5ft x 2ft (LxBXH). You can shift anything and everything with Porter packers and movers as we use materials including bubble wraps, wrapping paper, cardboard boxes, wrapping foam, and packing tapes for goods to be transported guardedly.  

• Multiple Packing Positions – Let ‘em Adjust

We’ll recommend you to choose amongst these three ways to pack your books:

• Spines down – packing books with the spine against the bottom decreases the possibility of damage.
• Flat – on their backs – this is most suitable for stacking, particularly if all the books have the same size and fit perfectly in the box.
• Standing up – similar to the position when books are on shelves. Spines should face the walls of the boxes if this method is adopted.

But we don’t want you to spend time understanding and executing these rather get professional packers and movers to do it for you seamlessly. 

• Label your Move

Once through with packing, provide labels to each box with different names or numbers. Put labels not only according to what’s inside it but also the context of the content. For example, if books are old or valuable, label them as ‘fragile.’

Before the house shifting process makes you weak in the knees and your world starts to crumble, hire an experienced team whose approach is professional at handling goods of different nature and volumes at budget-friendly rates.

Sit back, relax and chill. Yes, this will be the best move you’ll ever make. 

Irrespective of the numbers, we can move anything from books to bikes. We do it with utmost care and concern.
