Packing that makes unpacking the easy part.
Four reasons New Yorkers hand Otter the most time-consuming part of their move.
Customized Packing Solutions
We don't just put items in boxes; we create an organized system. Our team groups items logically room-by-room, ensuring that unpacking at your new location is as seamless as possible.
Flexible Storage Options
Choose between traditional professional-grade cardboard boxes and our signature rentable, reusable plastic bins — the familiar structure of cardboard for long-term storage, or the superior crush-proof, weather-resistant protection of plastic bins for your move.
Specialized Handling
We utilize premium protective materials for specialty items, including artwork, mirrors, electronics, and delicate décor, ensuring everything arrives in the same condition it left.
Professional Logistics
Our teams are trained in efficient space utilization, meaning we can pack your items safely while minimizing the footprint in the truck — which often makes your move more cost-effective.
The benefits of our
reusable plastic bins.
When you choose full packing with Otter, we offer our specialized reusable plastic bin service as a superior alternative to standard cardboard.
Superior Security
Our interlocking plastic bins are rigid, moisture-resistant, and crush-proof. They provide robust protection against the elements and heavy handling — extra peace of mind for your fragile or valuable items.
Sustainable & Clean
Reusable rental bins significantly reduce the environmental footprint of your move by eliminating the need for cardboard disposal. No more hunting for recycling centers after you've unpacked!
Seamless Process
We deliver the bins to your home before the packing begins, and our team collects them once you've finished unpacking. A cleaner, smarter way to move that keeps your home free of cardboard clutter.
Small things, done right. Every single move.
Numbers don't lie, and ours tell a story we're proud of. We sweat the small stuff on every job — the wrapping, the padding, the careful turn around the stairwell — because that's what separates a 5-star move from a forgettable one.
What's included in every Otter move.
Our experienced moving consultants take the time to understand exactly what your move looks like — the size and scope of your space, whether you prefer traditional boxes or our reusable plastic bins, and whether you need packing only or packing as part of a full move.

Packed, labeled, and loved.
Every move is a chance to prove that moving day doesn't have to be miserable. Here's what some of our recent customers had to say.
I booked full packing three days before my move out of pure desperation. The crew packed my entire two-bedroom in one afternoon — every box labeled by room and contents. Unpacking took me a weekend instead of a month because I could actually find things. Worth every dollar.
We used the reusable plastic bins and I'm never going back to cardboard. They dropped the bins off before packing day, everything stacked and clicked shut, nothing got crushed, and after we unpacked they just... came and took them away. No mountain of cardboard in the hallway. Genius.
Our office move had 14 desks, a server closet, and a kitchen. Otter's packing team worked through it systematically, labeled everything by department, and did a final walk-through with me checking every cabinet and drawer. Monday morning, everyone found their stuff. That never happens.
