When you are going to have an office relocation, we knew you have a lot of things to do - from packing, informing your staff, to ensuring that your new place is ready. To get rid of any distractions along the way, hire professional movers that will give you a peace of mind. A reliable mover is trained enough to pack your office equipment and supplies and will allow you to take care of other important tasks.

With a professional moving crew, you can guarantee a stress-free move. They will do all the packing for you and keep all your furniture and office equipment in good condition. If you prefer to pack files and other important stuff, these tips will ensure your boxes will arrive safely in your new office:

• Discuss important details with the moving company representative. They will accommodate all your concerns and any questions you may have. They will work with your to finalize a moving plan, including the equipment to be transferred, materials you need, and the process of moving your property. You can then present the plan to your staff. 

• Sort the items. Office furniture, storage cabinets, and file cabinets should be packed accordingly. On the other hand, vertical files do not require packing. Lock cabinets/drawers and pack keys separately. Don't forget to label them. 

• Ask your movers about the supplies you need. Most of the time, moving companies offer packing services at affordable rates. These includes commercial move cartons, computer transponders, and library carts.

• For a commercial move, you can use color-coded materials and specialty label systems to ensure all belongings arrive at their designated rooms. 

• Make sure you have a detailed inventory list, including items that need special handling. 

• Estimate the time you need for packing, shipping, and delivery as part of your moving plan. 

• On the day of your move, keep all aisles and doorways free from clutter.
