What’s Included in a Full-Service Packing and Shipping Move?

When you choose a full-service, door-to-door aliyah shipment to Israel, one of the biggest benefits is that you do not have to worry about finding packing supplies or figuring out how to prepare everything properly for international shipping. The professional packing crews come directly to your home with all the materials needed for the move — and it is all included as part of the service.

That includes:

• boxes
• tape
• wrapping paper
• kraft paper
• bubble wrap
• padding materials
• labels and packing supplies

One of the reasons professional packing matters so much is because different items need different types of boxes and protection. There really is a box for almost everything.

Here are some common examples:

• Small or Book Boxes
  Great for heavy items like books, tools, photo albums, and small kitchen items.
• Medium Boxes
  Often used for pots and pans, toys, office supplies, appliances, and home décor.
• Large Boxes
  Best for lightweight, bulky items like pillows, lampshades, clothing, and stuffed animals.
• Dish-Pack Boxes
  Double-walled boxes designed to better protect dishes, glassware, and fragile kitchen items.
• Wardrobe Boxes
  Allow clothing to stay on hangers during the move.
• Picture Boxes
  Made for mirrors, artwork, framed pictures, diplomas, and other flat items.

As items are packed, numbered stickers are placed on each box and larger piece of furniture. Those numbers are then recorded on a detailed packing list or inventory. This helps keep your aliyah shipment organized and makes it easier to identify boxes during delivery, customs clearance, or insurance claims if needed.

For especially delicate or high-value items, custom crating services are also available. This is often recommended for:

• artwork
• antiques
• marble pieces
• fragile electronics
• valuable collectibles

While no international shipment to Israel is completely risk-free, professional packing goes a long way toward helping your belongings arrive safely — and makes the moving process much less stressful for you.
