Packing & Unpacking Services in Toronto
Packing is usually the part people put off, and the part that causes the most damage when it's rushed. Our professional packers in the GTA pack room by room with proper materials — not whatever boxes were free that week — so fragile items actually survive the trip.
Choose the level that fits your move — or bundle packing with your residential move in the GTA as one booking. Materials include double-walled boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and dish-pack barrels for stemware and china — all included in your quote, not billed separately per box.
Full-service packing
The hands-off option: our packing services for moving in Ontario cover everything, room by room, usually a day or two before moving day. Ideal for busy families, full-home moves, and anyone who'd rather not spend two weeks living in a maze of half-packed boxes.
Partial packing
You handle the everyday items; we take the kitchen, wardrobes, and the awkward stuff — lamps, mirrors, shelving, and anything heavy or oddly shaped. A good middle ground that keeps the packing service cost down while the trickiest rooms get professional treatment.
Fragile-only packing
Just the easy-to-break items: glassware, china, stemware, artwork, mirrors, and electronics. Fragile item packing uses dish-pack barrels, bubble wrap, and double-walled boxes, with each piece individually wrapped and boxed by room for a fast, safe unpack.

Packing costs: common questions
How much do packing services cost in Toronto?
It depends on home size and how much you pack yourself. As a typical industry range in the GTA, professional packers charge roughly $50–$80 per packer per hour plus materials — so full-service packing for a 2-bedroom home typically lands between $800 and $1,500, while fragile-only packing for a kitchen often runs $200–$500. These are typical ranges, not Kinetic’s fixed prices — request a quote and we’ll give you a fixed quote within one business day.
Is full-service packing or fragile-only packing cheaper?
Fragile-only packing is the budget-friendly option — you handle everyday items yourself and we pack just the glassware, china, artwork, and electronics. Full-service packing costs more but saves you days of work and usually means better protection, since everything is packed with professional materials. Partial packing sits in between.
Are boxes and packing materials included in the price?
Yes. All packing materials — double-walled boxes, tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, and dish barrels for fragile items — are included in your quote, not billed separately per box.
Can I save money by packing myself and hiring you just to move?
Absolutely. Many customers pack everyday items themselves and book us for fragile-only packing plus the move itself. When you request your quote, tell us exactly what you want handled and we’ll price it as a fixed quote.
