A home office is a perfect place to work while being at home. If you are moving to a new home, getting all that technology and necessary documents to the new home can be a big dilemma. You have invested a lot for your home office, buying fancy furniture, books, electronics and other things. You do not want your items to go broken. While shopping for moving supplies, you have to think about your items and which moving boxes will fit your particular moving concerns. Always start with the more difficult items since most books and items can easily fit small moving boxes.
Fragile electronics
Your wide screen television is a fragile material since it can easily get compromised when the movers drop it accidentally. If you want to avoid that, you need to plan ahead. It is advised not to throw product boxes away but if you have already thrown the, you might need to find better alternatives. You can use a bigger box but it has to be filled with foam at the base as well as Styrofoam peanuts or even fabric on the sides. The box should be sturdy and resilient against heavy items. Label the box as extremely fragile so that the moving company will know if an item needs extra protection.
Daily business equipment
Your computer, printer, scanner and other necessary electronic devices should be dismantled. All wires should be properly labeled, so you can easily connect them with the right device. Colored strips of removable adhesive are perfect solutions. You designate a color for each device and where the wire goes, the other end takes the color of the other device. This makes it easier to know which wire goes to and which receptacle on the table it will also take. Any toner or ink on printer should be removed and before you move your computer, back up all your files. You can never be too sure what could happen after you store the items inside moving boxes.
Books
Before you randomly stash books on moving boxes, you might want to consider organizing them by size. Similar sized books are easier to organize and put in boxes. You also need small boxes since books can become very heavy as they pile up. So not go for big boxes since that will only lead to disaster. You have to put the spine of the book at the bottom. For long distance travels, putting the spine upwards can suspend pages and this could lead to faster deterioration of the book as it loosens its hold to the spine.
Office furniture
Most office furniture is modular and can be dismantled for easier transportation. Remove everything and cover the items that need covering. If bolts and screws are present, put them all in a plastic zip lock bag and label which furniture the items belong to.
By following these tips, you are on your way to moving your home office to either a real office establishment or even a new house or apartment.
