Electronics rule your world. Don’t they? And moving them safely to a new house can be challenging. Even the thought of getting those electronics damaged can turn your world upside down. Plus it is important to know that moving electronics without professional experience can be dangerous. However good and professional North Bergen Movers can unburden all your worries. But if you have made up your mind to move and pack all the electronics without professional help, here’s a list of packing advice.
1. How To Pack Electronic Devices?
First and foremost you need to keep certain steps in mind. I will mention all the steps below but before that, you need to back up all the data. Backing up all the data will prevent you from losing important information.
The process of moving is tricky and tiring at the same time. There is a possibility that you manage to break an expensive laptop you just bought in the process of moving. Perhaps, this accident can happen to anyone. This is why you have to first back up all your data with the help of a hard drive or memory stick. Copy all the important files to the hard drive and then store the hard drive in a safe place.
After you have stored the data follow all the steps mentioned below to protect your devices from damage.
2. Separate All The Cables And Batteries
It is not wise to pack your computer and PlayStation along with the cables. If you do so, there is a chance that you might break the wires and its corresponding connections. Now, remember the time when you bought your PlayStation. Were all the cable connections intact? The answer is no. Now, try to memorize the packing. If you can vaguely picture the packing you will be able to recollect that all the wires and consoles were packed separately.
Similarly, you can put your imagination into action and either use the original box to pack the game or else find a similar box. However, you have to make sure that you cover the game with the help of wrapping paper and bubble wrap. Also, don’t leave any space in the box. If you see any space fill them with crushed paper for extra safety.
3. Pack Sensitive And Big Equipment Carefully
For electronics like TV and computers, you have to first note down the manufacturer’s number, serial no, and the model number. This will help you claim the insurance in case of breakage. The next step is to separate all the cables like that mentioned above. After you have separated the cables don’t tangle them. Instead, place them in a plastic packet and wrap all the cables with the help of an elastic band.
Now, color code the cables. This step is made to ensure that you don’t forget which belongs to which connecting point. For instance, TV has several connecting points. However, professionals like Secaucus Movers believe that connecting cables should always be packed along with the concerned electronic system.
Now, let’s take a look at the packing of the system. Always remember that the screen is the most fragile part of the system. Be it computer or TV never wrap the screen directly with a bubble wrap. Instead, use screen-sized cardboard and securely tape it. Follow it by wrapping the entire system with the help of a blanket or bubble wrap.
Choose a box that is similar to the size of the system and transfer it carefully to the box. But before you put the TV or computer into the box, place a nice cushioned padding at the bottom of the box and fill all the empty spaces with crushed paper. In the end, just tape the box from all the four corners and you will be good to go.
4. Gather Packing Materials If You Don’t Have The Original Boxes
You are extremely lucky if you have the original packing material intact. But in most cases, it is seen that people throw the packing material or simply forget to keep the box safe. This is why you will need a sturdy box for packaging.
A three-ply cardboard box will do the job. In addition to this, you will need anti-static bubble rolls, wrapping paper, markers, tape, and a blanket to complete the packing procedure. However, loading and uploading also play a major role. Because you have to inform the movers about the placement method. This is the only way to make sure that no damage is done to the screen.
Additionally, you can also use a thermocol sheet to cover the extra spaces in the box. For better results cut a sturdy piece of thermocol into the shape of the system. Place the thermocol at the bottom and sides to prevent it from scratches. In turn, your move with all the electronics will be a successful one.
Anybody will feel bad if their precious piece of technology gets damaged. Professional Guttenberg Movers can help you with the process but if you follow all the tips mentioned in this write-up carefully, you will have no issues moving.
I hope these tips help you achieve the desired result and you have a good time moving.
