How to Pack Office Computers for a Move

When moving your Phoenix, AZ, company to a new office location, it is important that you and your employees know how to properly pack your office computers. Knowing how to pack your office computers and other electronics with utmost care will help to ensure that they arrive to your new location unharmed, ready to be set up and used.

Before you begin packing up your office, you need to make sure a few things are taken care of. First, you should take measurements of the computer towers and monitors to ensure you select the right size box to fit both items as it is important to keep both items together. Second, make sure that all of your data has been properly backed up, either to an external hard drive or cloud service. Finally, check to make sure you aren’t leaving any discs, flash drives, or any other devices plugged into your computer.

Once you have taken the above steps, you can begin the packing process. Start with shutting down the computer. Before removing the cables that are plugged into the tower and monitor, take a picture so you know how to connect them again. Make sure all of the cables are wound and secured with cable ties to ensure they do not become tangled during transport and place them in a bag together. When packing the computer tower and monitor, ensure there is plenty of cushioning to prevent damage. Place both the tower and the monitor upright in the box. All other items, such as your mouse and keyboard, can be wrapped in packing paper.

The best way to ensure your office computers are properly backed is to hire a moving company that specializes in that specific type of work.
