Are you planning an office move? Proper packaging of office equipment is the key to its complete safety.
So – your office urgently needs to move. In order to avoid annoying disappointments associated with damaged property; loss of important documents; and just in order not to encounter confusion as a result of the disorderly placement of transported items – special attention during transportation should be paid to proper packaging.
Packaging of office equipment is one of the most important aspects during office moves – responsible for the safety of expensive equipment.
Even the most responsible and careful movers will not be able to ensure the complete safety of computers and other electronics if special packing materials are not used during the move.
This article describes the features of the packaging of computers and office equipment.
If you, by some miracle, have preserved the original packaging, from computers, printers and other items of office equipment, then this will be the best option for transporting all expensive electronics. If not, professionals will always come to the rescue by offering reliable packaging materials that have repeatedly proven their ability to maintain the commodity value of the cargo in practice.
Here is what is used:
Corrugated cardboard boxes are a unique packaging material that has been invariably serving humanity for decades. Boxes facilitate the processes of loading and unloading, and also allow you to compactly place massive elements of office equipment and computer modules;
Adhesive tape – adhesive tape used for additional fixation of individual, small items and hermetic closure of cardboard boxes;
Stretch film, used during transportation, for wrapping office equipment and protecting the latter from scratches;
Air, bubble wrap – used for wrapping especially fragile electronics, table lighting devices and everything that requires special transportation conditions;
Styrofoam – used to pack the corners of office equipment, computer monitors, in order to protect against mechanical damage during transportation;
High-quality packaging materials used by our company is a guarantee that your office equipment will be transported safe and sound.
As you understand, it will be extremely unpleasant, after moving, to buy new computers to replace those damaged due to careless handling. In order to avoid this, pay attention to some of our recommendations:
Boxes with computers and office equipment should be marked with appropriate signs, or inscriptions: “caution”, “fragile”, etc.
Make backup copies of all the most important data and save them on external drives;
Boxes with expensive electronics cannot be stacked on top of each other, thus creating high pyramids; since the lower tier, in this case, may suffer, unable to withstand the massive gravity;
Do not rush to a new place, immediately use office equipment in the work. You should first make sure that the electrical networks are working and let the electronics warm up to room temperature (if the move takes place in winter).
