How to Safely Pack Electronics for Moving

Owning a flat-screen tv, multiple gaming consoles, and computer equipment is the standard of today’s households. While these modern devices are standard, many people struggle with how to handle them properly and safely while moving. Before packing for your big move, you must know how to pack and move your electronics safely to remain in good working condition. One minor misstep and your entire device might be destroyed. Not to worry, Shleppers Moving & Storage is here to save you from potential disappointment by sharing some tips on how to pack and move your electronic devices safely.

Essential Packing and Moving Supplies

First, you will want plenty of protective moving materials to ensure your electronics make it to your new home safely. Making sure your gaming console is appropriately secured is much less expensive than replacing it. 

• Moving Boxes in various sizes
• Bubble wrap and packing peanuts
• Packing paper or newspaper
• Twist ties
• Protective plastic or large trash bags
• Strong packing tape
• Markers

Keep the Original Electronic Boxes for Packing and Moving

It is best to use the original packaging when it comes to moving electronic devices. The manufacturer has specially made protective materials in the original boxes, which are ideal for packing and storing your electronics during your move.

Utilize the User Guide for Packing and Moving Instructions

Reviewing the user guide when preparing your electronics for a move is the best way to ensure safe arrival. It will outline any special steps you may need for your electronics to be moved or stored.

Keep The Cords Organized

This is a big one! Take the time to tie and store cables and wires with twist toes and pack them with the appropriate electronic device. This will save you many headaches when you’re in your new home.

Label, Label, Label

This is a no-brainer. Clearly label your boxes to stay organized while packing and unpacking. If you have several of the same devices for different rooms, make sure your boxes indicate where it belongs.
