AMOOV's Packing Standards

It all starts with packing
90% of damages can be avoided if the packing is done in the highest standards. That makes it the most important day of your international or domestic move.
 
Taking this into account, our ISO 9001 packing processes cover 3 key elements to make sure that days goes smoothly:  packing materials, our crews and our packing craft. 

Starting with the latter, our crews know how to care of your precious or fragile belongings. Our craft is based on 4 pillars: training & processes, packing export technique, fragile belongings packing & handling.

Our AMOOV crews

 

They are our pride and take pride in what they do. Our teams not only know their craft.  Our AMOOVers goal is truly to make you simply happy. You can count on them to put a smile on your face at the end of the packing or unpacking day.

Further than that, they take an extra special care while carrying the load: did you know that your belongings are handled (loaded or unloaded) on average of 8 times during an international moves?
