Expert packing for fragile, valuable, and oversized items. Foam-in-place, crating, and specialist packaging that protects your goods in transit.
The most common cause of transit damage is inadequate packaging. Carriers' liability only applies when goods are properly packed to withstand normal transit conditions. Professional packing — foam-in-place, wooden crating, or custom carton packing — dramatically reduces damage risk and ensures that, if damage does occur, you have a valid insurance claim.
Professionally packed goods maintain carrier liability. Improperly packed goods are excluded from claims.
Foam-in-place, bubble wrap, edge protectors, corner guards, and wooden crating available for all item types.
Our packing teams can attend the collection address to pack items before the carrier arrives.
Heavy or oversized items crated in custom timber frames and strapped to pallets for maximum protection.
Size, weight, material, and fragility — we advise on the best packaging method.
Packing cost provided alongside the shipping quote.
On-site team packs at your premises, or deliver to our partner depot.
Packed item collected by carrier — protected for its full journey.
Small items (consumer goods) cost €5–€20 to pack. Large or custom items (machinery, art, antiques) cost €50–€500+.
Wooden custom crates add significant cost but are essential for very fragile, heavy, or high-value items.
On-site packing at your premises costs more due to travel time but avoids moving unpacked items to a depot.
Higher declared value requires more robust packaging — insurers may require evidence of professional packing for high-value claims.

Depot packing (you bring the item) is 30–40% cheaper than on-site packing at your premises.
Spend €30 on proper packing for a €500 item — it protects both the goods and your right to claim if something goes wrong.
Packing services are priced per job, not per km. On-site packing includes a call-out fee based on distance from our packing partners in Lisbon and Porto. Packing materials cost and packing labour are itemised separately in your quote.
