Make an inventory list
First, make an inventory list of all your electronics and components that you want to take with you to your new home. If there are other items you no longer want, sell, or donate them if they are still working.
Get the right packing material
Getting the right packing material is very necessary to prevent any damage. Here is the list of material:
- Cardboard boxes
- Packing blankets
- Foam sheets
- Bubble wrap
- Strong packing tape
- Permanent marker
- Cling wrap, etc.
These packing materials ensures no damage and scratch happen during moving to a new house.
Unplug electronics and remove batteries
Always be sure to unplug your electronics 24 hours before your packing. By doing this, your electronics are cool enough to pack and move as well as to prevent any internal damage.
Also don’t forget to remove the batteries from devices such as toys, remotes etc. If you forget to remove the batteries from your electronics, it could damage your electronics. And place your batteries in a small box so you won’t lose them.
Take pictures when disconnecting
Always remember to take pictures of all your electronics when you are disconnecting any cords. This may seem annoying in the beginning, but it will make things easier as you settle into your new home.
Labelling your items and cables
It is a great idea to label everything. Whenever you are disconnecting any cord or cable, don’t forget to label it so you can remember which item the cord or cable belongs to. When packing your electronics in a box, always remember to mark the direction upwards and write the name of the item on the box, so you know it is a fragile item and you are likely to pay more attention when you are carrying the box.
Back Up Data and Files
It is a good idea to back up your data and files before you pack your computers and laptops and place the saved data at a secure place. You don’t have to worry about anything if you are packing your electronics properly and safely, but it is better to be safe rather than regretting at the end.
Pack your electronics safely
While packing your electronics in a box, make sure you pack the items properly and safely. If there is a space left anywhere in the corners or centre of the box, fill that space with the extra papers or clothes or with the other packing material to ensure the device in the moving box while being transported.
Clearly label the box
After packing your electronics in the box, make sure you label the box clearly. If you have multiple same items, then you won’t get confused that which item belongs to which room. This will keep your move efficient and safe.
Check the weather for the moving day
Make sure you check the weather for your moving day. If it shows rain on your moving day, then you must have to take extra precautions for your moving. Try to make your move to your new home on a sunny day as it is safe to drive and easy to move your electronics.
