How to begin packing your electronic devices

Back-Up Your Devices 

Another great idea for those of you who don’t know exactly how long the moving process will take, it’s generally a good idea to back up your devices. 

It will allow you to have a record of everything backed up in some area on your computers. Since your devices will be off for a while, you shouldn’t be worried about losing your data. 

It’s a super important step because many people have lost crucial data such as files, photos, and documents that could have been saved by doing this. 

Tip: Eco-Friendly Moving Tips!

Get To Labeling

Electronics are probably some of the most difficult items to move, because of their extensive accessories. One desktop has a handful of wires that come attached with it. 

It makes the moving process not so ideal. Get yourself a handy label maker and begin separating the wires, cables, and other accessories into categories. 

Each device should have its own set of labeled boxes. So that when you unpack your items, you’ll know what goes where. Not only does this make the entire process easy, but it also helps decrease clutter. 

It doesn’t only have to wire cables though. If you have a collection of CDs, charger heads, and other accessories like these, you should begin labeling.

Get True-To-Size Boxes 

If you still own all the boxes that your electronic devices originally came in, you’ve already made the process ten times easier! Simply place all of the items in their designated boxes since they will fit snug in there. 

You won’t have to worry about items cracking or falling on top of each other! 

For example, try packing that new Play Station in the box it came in. You’ll find that it makes the process much easier by using the same packaging it came in!

If however, you don’t have the same boxes, a good idea would be to get each device a true-to-size box; imitating the same plan. 

Always be sure to use bubble wrap before packing them into boxes, but the correct sized box will always give you more security!
