Electronics Packing Tips from Carlin Brown Removals

Moving your electronics can be a daunting process, especially if you have expensive items such as large TVs or delicate items such as computers. At Carlin Brown Removals, we understand the importance of getting these items safely to your new home or office. That’s why we have come up with our top tips for packing your electronics when you are moving.

Prepare in Advance

Start by collecting all the necessary boxes, packing materials and tools. You may also need to purchase some specialized packing and protective materials. Investing in high-quality packing materials will ensure that your electronics are well-protected during the move. Once you have everything you need, start by carefully disassembling any large items.

Wrap Everything in Bubble Wrap or Packing Paper

Whenever possible, wrap individual pieces in bubble wrap or packing paper to provide extra protection. Taping the wrap around the item helps secure it in place and prevents it from shifting during the move.

Pack Cables Separately

It can be easy to forget about the associated cables when packing electronics. Make sure you take the time to pack all your cables separately. You can use a cable organiser or simply wrap each cable in bubble wrap and tape it together. Label each cable to make it easier to know which cable is for which electronic.

Pack Fragile Items with Other Soft Goods

Once everything is wrapped, put each electronic in a box and fill the empty spaces with soft goods like linens, pillows or towels. Make sure you use boxes that are properly sized for the item being packed, as this will help prevent shifting and damage.

Use Fragile Labels

If you are using a professional moving service, make sure to label each box as ‘Fragile’. This will alert the movers that the box contains delicate items and will help ensure that they take extra care when handling the boxes.
