Professional Packing Support for Real Households
Packing is usually the part of a move that swallows the most time and causes the most stress. We are Eipic Removals and Storage, a family-run removals firm based at Cookstown Enterprise Centre in Mid Ulster, and our packing service is built for the households we already move. That means real homes with kitchens full of glassware, lofts full of memories and a sale chain that rarely leaves a free weekend.
Our packing crews protect your belongings the same way we protect our own. We bring the boxes, the tape, the paper and the bubble wrap. We pack room by room, label every box by destination, and keep fragile items, paperwork and daily essentials separate so nothing goes astray on move day. Whether you book us for the full house or just the kitchen and the loft, the goal stays the same. Get your belongings ready for the road, with no last-minute scramble.
What Our Packing Services Include
Every packing job we quote is built around the contents of your home, not a generic checklist. The standard service covers:
A trained packing crew who arrive with all the materials needed for the job.
Boxing and wrapping of household items, with breakables, electronics and artwork wrapped individually in paper or bubble wrap before they go into a box.
Clear labelling on every box, marked with the room the contents came from and the room they are heading into at the new address.
Preparation for transport, including blanket-wrapping for furniture, sealed boxes for paperwork and a separate kit for the items you will need on day one at the new house.
Disposal or recycling of used materials at the other end if you do not want to keep the boxes.
Optional unpacking on arrival, where the crew sets boxes in the right rooms, unwraps fragile items and clears the packaging away.
If your home has anything that does not fit a standard pack, for example a record collection, a wine fridge, fine china or framed prints, tell us at quote stage so we can plan the materials and the crew size.
Full Packing or Partial Packing Options
Not every household wants the full pack and not every move needs it. We quote four common variations, and we are happy to mix them on the same job.
Full home packing. The crew packs every room, top to bottom, in the day or two before the move. Useful for busy families, work relocations and any move where the chain has left no spare evenings.
Selected rooms only. Pick the rooms that worry you most. The kitchen, the loft, the spare-room cupboards and the garage are the four we get asked for most often.
Fragile items only. We pack the breakables, the artwork, the glassware and the electronics. You handle the books, the bedding and the soft furnishings yourself.
Bulky or awkward items. Garden furniture, gym equipment, mirrors, lampshades and oversized framed prints. The crew brings the right materials and protects the items the way they need to be protected.
Whichever option you choose, the price is fixed and agreed up front. No hidden charges for extra tape or surplus boxes.
When Packing Services Are Worth It
Packing yourself is a perfectly fine choice for a one-bedroom flat with a flexible move date. For most other moves, the maths usually points to professional packing once you add up the hours, the materials and the risk of breakages. The customers who book us for packing most often fall into one of these groups.
Busy households, where work, school and the sale chain leave no time to pack a kitchen properly.
Last-minute moves, where the dates have slipped and there are no spare evenings before the lorry arrives.
Long-distance and cross-channel moves, where contents are on the road for longer and need stronger packing to arrive in one piece.
Customers with fragile or valuable items, including glassware, artwork, electronics and antiques.
Older customers and households moving on their own, where lifting boxes and wrapping breakables is more than the family wants to take on.
If you are not sure which group you fall into, the free WhatsApp video walkthrough is the quickest way to find out. The crew can look at the rooms, the access and the contents and tell you whether a full pack or a partial pack is the right call.
Packing for Long-Distance and Cross-Channel Moves
Packing matters more on a long route than on a five-mile hop. A move from Cookstown to Belfast spends a couple of hours on the road. A move from Cookstown to Dublin, or a cross-channel move from Cookstown to England, Scotland or Wales, can spend a full day or longer on lorries and ferries before your contents are unloaded at the other end.
Our crews pack longer routes to a higher standard as a matter of course. Boxes are filled to the top so contents do not shift in transit. Fragile items are wrapped individually and packed with cushioning material around them. Furniture is blanket-wrapped, strapped and corner-protected before it goes on the lorry. Documents, jewellery and small electronics travel in clearly marked priority boxes that come off the lorry first at the new address.
If your move is heading off the island, ask about our cross-channel removals service. We plan the packing, the loading order and the ferry crossing as a single job, so you get one fixed price and one team from the first box to the last.
​
Combine Packing With Removals and Storage
Packing rarely sits on its own. Most customers book packing as part of a wider removals or storage job, and we price the package as one number rather than three.
Packing plus removals. The crew packs the house, loads the lorry the next morning and delivers to the new address. One team, one quote, one day of disruption.
Packing plus storage. Useful when your sale and purchase dates do not line up. We pack the house, move the contents into our Cookstown facility, store them in indoor warehouse, secure 10ft or 20ft container or business document storage, and re-deliver when the new house is ready.
Packing plus furniture handling. Beds, wardrobes, dining tables and flat-pack items dismantled on the day, packed with their fittings and rebuilt at the other end.
If your move involves any of these extras, mention them at quote stage and we will build everything into a single fixed all-in price.

FAQs
Q: Do you offer full packing and partial packing?
​
A: Yes. We pack the full house, selected rooms only, fragile items only or bulky and awkward items only, and we are happy to mix options on the same job. Tell us at quote stage which approach suits your move and we will price it as a fixed all-in cost.
Q: Can you pack fragile items?
​
A: Yes. Glassware, china, artwork, electronics and antiques are all part of the day job. Each item is wrapped individually in paper or bubble wrap, packed with cushioning around it and labelled as fragile so the lorry crew knows to handle the box with extra care.
Q: Do I need to provide packing materials?
​
A: No. The packing crew arrives with boxes, tape, paper, bubble wrap and any specialist materials your contents need. If you want to keep the used boxes after the move, just say so. If not, we take them away and recycle them.
Q: Can I book packing with a house move?
​
A: Yes. Most of our packing jobs are booked alongside a house removal, and we price the pack and the move together as one fixed quote. The same crew that packs the house usually loads the lorry the next morning, so nothing gets lost in the handover.
Q: Is packing worth it for long-distance moves?
​
A: For most long-distance and cross-channel moves, yes. Contents spend longer on the road and on ferries, and professionally packed boxes and properly wrapped furniture arrive in much better shape. If you are heading from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland, England, Scotland or Wales, ask the crew to quote for packing as part of the move.
