Packing & Unpacking in Dubai
Premium materials, packed by people who do it daily
Almost every damaged item we are ever called about was damaged because it was packed badly, not because it was carried badly. Packaging needs expertise — which is why DG Movers keeps a dedicated packing crew rather than asking the drivers to do it.
Book packing on its own if you would rather move yourself, or as part of a full move. Either way you get the same materials and the same trained hands.

Our process
How it works, step by step
No surprises. Here is exactly what happens from the first call to the last carton.
-
1
Materials delivered ahead
Cartons and wrap arrive at your door before packing day, free of charge, so you can pre-pack anything personal at your own pace.
-
2
Room-by-room packing
The crew works one room at a time so nothing gets mixed. Each carton is labelled with its room, its contents and an inventory number.
-
3
Fragile and high-value handling
Glass, ceramics, art and electronics are packed separately with the right cushioning — and crated in timber if the piece justifies it.
-
4
Inventory sign-off
You get a numbered carton list before the truck leaves, so you can verify every box arrived at the other end.
-
5
Unpacking and removal
On request we unpack everything into place and haul away every carton and offcut the same day, so you are not living with cardboard for a fortnight.

Packing & Unpacking FAQs

Screens are wrapped in anti-static film, corner-protected with foam and boxed. Anything above 55 inches goes into a purpose-built timber crate, transported upright and strapped.
