Packing necessities for your office relocation
Your guide to packing materials for your office move
Anyone who has ever opened their suitcase only to find bottles leaking, items broken and papers crushed when they get to their destination will sympathise with an office mover who finds their precious belongings in a mess when they reach their new workplace. Careful packing is essential to an office move and it is vital to enlist the professional help of a reputable office removals company so that you can ensure your things are in good hands. A couple of packing necessities are listed below to get you started, particularly helpful if your moving company is leaving the packing up of your personal belongings to office staff. More information can be found on the Office Removals Checklist.
Make sure you have these bits and pieces at hand to wrap up your office move:
Cardboard boxes – these are an office moving staple to carry papers, electrical devices such as faxes and phones as well as general items that need some protective packing around them.
Plastic crates – hardier than cardboard boxes, crates are perfect for transporting heavier items like computers that need to be kept safe from knocks and in waterproof containers.
Polystyrene chips and bubble wrap – added padding to stop screens from scratching, glass from being broken and prevent smaller items from rolling around in their box.
Strong packing tape – necessary for securing boxes and taping protective wrap around items.
Packing/Stanley knife – you’ll need one of these when you get to the other end in order to open boxes quickly and safely.
Labels – specialist content labels can be purchased to document the exact contents of each box for quick reference. A pen that can write on all surfaces is also essential for writing on boxes.
