Setting up the house and
getting the right kind of material for your house is very essential. You get
furniture and home appliances and multiple other things that you need to make
the house look like a home. The most important among all the stuff is the
electronics that are needed to run the house. These include top selling refrigerators, fridge, freezer, kitchen appliances, television, cleaning
equipment etc. Setting up a house is a very daunting task. However, there are
times when you plan to shift from your current house. There can be multiple
reasons. You may have found a better house. You plan on changing the area you
live in. You live on rent and your landlord wants you to leave. So, in such
cases, you have to carefully take away all your things, pack them up and shift
them to the new house. Shifting is a much more difficult task than setting up
the house. Every thing has to be individually packed so as to make sure nothing
gets damaged.
This is when you realize the
real worth of packing materials and boxes. It is said that you should keep the
original boxes of your electrical components safely because you might need them
later. Most of us usually don’t pay any heed to this but shifting is the real
time when you need to secure your appliances in these boxes so that it causes
no damage as these electrical components are generally very delicate.
Computers, tablets, video game systems, stereo equipment and televisions are
all high worth investments and you would obviously want to save from damage
when you are shifting home or office. You can hire a professional packing
company and be organized about the cords and remotes, suggest experts.
Essential Packing Materials:
Packing materials are the most
essential thing you need while shifting. These include bubble wrap,
Thermoplastic, masking tape, cartons etc. Electronics are usually very fragile
and sensitive, so you need to make sure you use enough bubble wrap, cushioning material
and packing paper. You should avoid using newspaper for packing, because
electronics will not be safe under this protection and they require thick
cushioning to avoid shocks.
Check the Temperature in
Storage:
Temperature is one thing which
is usually ignored yet the most considerable thing while you’re packing. Computers, tablets, televisions and even
phones are sensitive electronics and may need to be stored in
climate-controlled units so that they don’t heat up. The manufacturer or your
storage facility can also advice you regarding this.
Mark the Cartons:
While shifting, cartons are the
best kind of packing material and almost everything is sent and packed in
cartons. But, don’t you think your cartons might mix up if they look alike.
Electronics are fragile and this needs to be indicated on the package as
well. Clearly mark ‘fragile’ on the
outside of cartons with electronics that are breakables or delicate. Also, mark
‘this side up’ on items containing electronics. It will help you open the cartons
in the right manner without having your electronics damaged.
Organize Your Cords and
Remotes:
Connecting cords and rods is
not an easy task and when you are disassembling something you need to make sure
which cord or remote belongs to what stuff and know how everything is put back
in place. Without remotes, your components are absolutely useless so make sure
you don’t misplace them. You should take photographs of how cords are connected
to their devices for easy reassembling later on. Untangled wires can be very
frustrating if you just dump them into your cartons and trying to figure out
which electronic device they belong to can be a big hassle. Wrap the cords up
neatly and label them so you know which cord belongs to which device. Stickers
can help you identify which cord belongs to which device. You could also use
colored stickers on each cord and the same color sticker where the cord
connects to the device. This will save you the hassle of trying to figure out
what fits where.
Knowledge of Packing:
The best way to get your
packing done is to ask the movers to help you out with it but incase that
doesn’t work for you and you are lacking in knowledge regarding the packing of
the electronic items, it would be better to read the user manual for the same.
This will instruct you about the assembling and disassembling in the best
manner so that nothing goes wrong during the process.
Moving Inventory List:
Listing down everything is the
basic rule of organizing. You should make a list of the components that are
present in each box so that you clearly know you have got all the parts before
you start assembling.
Lastly:
Now that you know this isn’t a
very easy process, make sure you keep all these things in mind and never take
packing a side task. It is the most important when it comes to electronics. So,
get ready with your bubble wraps and masking tapes and start it off!
