What to wrap, what to box, what to label and what the crew should handle separately on loading day.
Most transit damage is a packing failure, not a driving failure: a carton that is too heavy, under-taped or half full collapses or bursts under normal handling. The checklist below closes those gaps in order.
Wrap first. Stretch film is sold in 75 µm (3 mil) for light goods and 125 µm (5 mil) for furniture; on loads over 40 cartons, a single roll of 125 µm film plus 48 mm tape usually costs less than taping everything alone.
On narrow screens, swipe or scroll the plate sideways.
Box dense fragile goods small. Dishes, glass and ornaments go in 30 cm cubes, where they reach a safe weight quickly; keep every carton inside the 18–32 kg working band so the crew never has to repack on the doorstep.
Seal fully: base, four sides and top, which takes 8–10 m of 48 mm tape on a 60×50 cm carton. Then label two sides with the room, the contents and a heavy mark for anything near 30 kg.
On loading day, stage cartons in stacks of three at most — the working ceiling for a two-person crew — keep fragile cartons on top, and set aside documents, keys and medication to travel with you rather than in the truck. The box-count and truck-size guides on this site cover the planning that comes before this day.
