Packing Services in Calgary for Homes and Businesses
Packing is the part of a move most people underestimate, and the part that decides whether things arrive in one piece. Sparta’s trained packers wrap, box, label and crate everything from a studio kitchen to a full house of antiques, using materials built for the truck, so the move itself is the easy part.
Professional Packers In Calgary
At Sparta Movers, we know packing is the most time consuming part of any move and the one people put off longest. Our packing services take that job off your list entirely. Whether you are moving your home across the city with our residential movers, relocating an office in Calgary, or preparing a shipment for a long distance or international move, our movers and packers Calgary residents recommend show up with the materials, the technique and the time to do it properly.
Our Packing Service Options
Full packing. Ideal if you want to hand the whole job to the pros. We pack every room, label every box by contents and destination room, and disassemble furniture as needed. You walk away from a full house and walk into a packed one.
Partial packing. You pack the easy things, we pack the hard ones. Most customers hand us the kitchen, the garage, artwork and electronics and keep clothes and linens for themselves. It is the most cost effective option for households that have time but not the right materials.
Specialty packing and custom crating. Antiques, fine art, mirrors, glass tabletops, chandeliers, marble, pianos and high value electronics are wrapped, padded and, where needed, built into custom wooden crates sized to the item. This is the standard for long distance and cross border moves, where a shipment is handled several times before delivery.
Unpacking and debris removal. At the other end, our crew unpacks, places items where you want them, and takes the empty boxes and paper away the same day.
Our Packing Process
1. Consultation and customized packing plan. Your consultant reviews what you are moving, what is fragile and how much you want to do yourself, then builds a packing plan and quote around it. The plan matches the type of move, since a local move across Calgary and a container to Europe are packed differently.
2. Packing materials. We use professional grade, recyclable materials: double walled boxes, wardrobe and dish barrel cartons, packing paper, bubble wrap, mattress and sofa bags, and custom crates for anything that should not ride in a box. Prefer to pack yourself? Order the same supplies from our online shop and have them delivered, or skip cardboard altogether with our plastic moving bins.
3. Efficient and organized packing. Our crews pack room by room, label every box by contents and destination room, and disassemble furniture with hardware bagged and taped to the piece. The result is a load that goes onto the truck in order and comes off it in order, which saves hours on delivery day.
4. Storage if you need it. Not moving straight into your new home? Packed goods go directly into our climate controlled storage in Calgary and are delivered when you are ready.

Leave Packing to Pros
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE MOVING INDUSTRY
Expert packing techniques: Our trained packers use high quality materials and methods proven over thousands of moves to protect everything from glassware and artwork to bulky furniture and electronics.
Time and cost efficiency: A trained two person crew packs an average three bedroom home in a day. Doing it yourself takes most people two weeks of evenings, and self packed boxes are the ones most likely to be damaged in transit.
Comprehensive options: Full, partial or specialty packing, plus crating, unpacking and packing supplies to buy, so the service fits your move rather than the other way around.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Reviews from Calgary families who let the packers and movers Calgary trusts handle the boxes.
Tony, Costa and Cash were amazing movers. They got my move done quickly and with great care. They made sure to put runners throughout the house so they didn't dirty up the carpet and put everything in the room we wanted it to go in. Seamless move. Would highly recommend.
We had Dom, Andre, Ivan and Chuck move us, this is the second time we have used them and this time was as good as the first. They don’t quit until the job is done. The fellas are very friendly and helpful. Would use them again for sure.
We had Dom and Chuck bring in and unpack our cargo. Both were very friendly whilst being quick and efficient in completing the work. Fantastic service.
Dominic, Chuck, Ivan and Andre were great. They were professional, easy to talk to, and took great care with our possessions. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sparta again.
What a great moving experience. Everything from start to finish was really smooth. The quoting process with Angela was great- she was so on the ball and the whole reason I decided to hire Sparta. On the day of, Dominic and his team were friendly, professional, and took good care of my stuff. The guys worked hard and I was happy with the end result. I actually enjoyed the day, and I HATE moving! Big thanks to Angela, Dominic, Chuck, Anthony & Cash.
We are very happy with Sparta movers. Michael was very helpful and professional right from giving us an estimate and helping us reschedule without any hassle. All the movers- Dominic, Chuck, Zied, Cash & Andre were very quick, professional, helpful and courteous. Best movers we have come across. They deserve more than 5 stars. I'm very happy with each of their work 😊
We dealt with Michael B., Dominic, Chuck, Ziad and Cash - they were all super professional, considerate and great at what they do! From booking the move to waving goodbye when the moving team were finished - the team was helpful, caring and hard working. Thanks team for making our move so seamless!
The entire experience with Sparta was seamless. Right from my initial communication with Michael, the moving advisor, to Angie, who packed, and Ryan and his team who did all the heavy lifting their professionalism, communication and work ethic was exceptional. Moving is never easy but they definitely reduced the stress. Loved the online portal where I could adjust my inventory and it’s all very transparent as to costs, materials needed, and estimated times. Michael was so helpful and patient answering all my questions and adjusting the estimate as needed. It was nice to see Angie and Ryan patiently mentoring and teaching the new guys. Highly recommend them. Next time I’ll get them to do the entire pack instead of just a partial. They are so efficient!
We moved from Toronto to Airdrie (AB) with Sparta Movers. Best experience ever. They were super careful, packed everything with care, delivered on time, not a single box was missing, no furniture or electronics were damaged. Totally recommend.
