When you pack a PC for your Cladwell move, the preparation process plays a big part

Now you know that you have two options. And you know that hiring moving services NJ is the best and most secure way to pack a PC for your Caldwell move.  However, some people are not ready to let strangers temper with their personal items. Especially computers that contain very important data and documents. If you are in that kind of situation, you have no other option but to handle the packing process on your own.  And the most important part is to prepare well.

There are two things that you need to do in the preparation process.  You need to back up your data and prepare appropriate packing supplies. Take a look at how to tackle these tasks.

Backing up your data

The first thing that you need to do in the preparation process, of course, is to back up your data. This will ensure that you have your important documents even if your computer falls off a cliff. You can back up your information on a cloud or you can use an external hard drive that you will pack separately.  Of course, there are many ways to do this right. That is why we suggest that you do a little bit of research before you decide what option to choose.  Bear in mind that depending on the amount of data that you will have to back up and the speed at which your data can be transferred this process could last for more than a day. Start this process early in order to avoid time-related issues.

Preparing packing materials

The second thing is to prepare appropriate packing materials. And when it comes to packing a PC for a Caldwell move, you have many available options. Of course, the best solution, and solution that all residential moving companies NJ will recommend is to use original packaging if you saved it after the purchase. Original packaging fits your PC perfectly and has that styrofoam frame that will protect and keep your PC from moving around the box. If you haven’t saved your original packaging (which is almost always the case), do not worry. There are many substitutes that will provide your computer with equal protection. Here are the things that you will have to prepare:

• A cardboard box of appropriate size
• Bubble wrap
• Packing tape
• Labels

Should you dismantle your PC or not?

Now it is time to pack a PC for your Caldwell move. And there are two opinions on how this should be done. Some people say that it is smart to disassemble your computer and to pack every part individually. Our suggestion is that you do not have to do this. This takes a lot of time, and computer housing provides proper protection for your parts. The only piece that you might want to protect additionally is your hard drive. If you decide to do this, make sure that you wrap it well and pack it in a strong case. Preferably a plastic container of some sort.

Packing your PC like a pro

Even if you are not disassembling your PC you will have to disassemble your cables. However, before you do this take a photo of the cable assembly before you remove them. This will help you to put everything back together after your movers NJ to NYC deliver your items.  After you remove the cables tie them in a bundle and wrap them in bubble plastic. Then wrap your PC in bubble plastic and carefully put it in a box. The box should be large enough so that your PC can enter it but it cannot move while inside.  Tape the box and label it. Do the same with your screen and your computer will be ready to go.
