Questions

Asked before every job.

01 Do you specialise in fine art, or do you move anything?

Both. PackArt is a moving company with over 25 years of experience in providing dependable moving services, specializing in the transportation of valuable items such as fine art — and the same crew also handles office and residential moves.

02 Do you build the crate, or only pack what I give you?

We build custom crates for your package to make sure it gets to where it needs to in one piece. They are made to the object rather than to a standard size — plywood, pine battens, and foam cradles or timber blocking where the shape needs it.

03 Does a painting always need a crate?

No. We soft pack paintings — wrapped, edge-protected and moved without building a crate around them. Which one is right depends on how far the work is going and how it is travelling.

04 Can you load a shipping container?

Yes. We load and off-load containers, with our forklift on site to handle heavy loads, and we can arrange transport to your site.

05 Do you move pianos?

Yes, every size of grand piano: concert grands, grands and boudoir grands. We disassemble them, soft pack or crate them, move them and assemble them again.

06 Do you do office and house moves as well?

Yes. We also offer office and residential moving services.

07 Where do you work?

We are based in Killarney Gardens, Cape Town, and service South Africa and Africa. Companies abroad also send us to collect and pack pieces across the continent.

08 What do you need from me for a quote?

Both addresses, your timeline, the dimensions of the piece, and a photo of it, because a picture says a thousand words. The quote form and our WhatsApp message ask for exactly that.

09 Can you fumigate timber packaging?

Yes. We fumigate your package and items — which is what timber packaging usually needs before it is accepted overseas.
