Destination placement is the most time consuming and confusing part of the move. To save time and money, your help in coordinating with us will be greatly appreciated. Our representative will show you how to pack and color code your departments to expedite and organize the correct placement at destination.

Placement of your office furniture at new location is done by a number Not by your name.  Sugar House Moving & Storage will provide you with multi colored labels.  You will assign a number and a department to each employee. Items without label won’t be moved.

Below is a list of helpful office packing instructions.  If you should have any other questions please contact your moving consultant.

MARKING

Label each item with the stickers we provide.  If an item must be dismantled to be moved, be sure to tag all parts. Example: Secretary desk with return.

DESKS

Label the desk on the top surface.

• Your desk will probably be turned on end - pack accordingly.
• Place small item such as pens, clips, rubber bands, etc. in an envelope in center drawer, or place in container.
• Breakable items and liquids such as ink, glue, etc. should be removed and packed in a container provided for this purpose.
• All articles from the surface of the desk should be placed in a container, as should contents of desks not to be moved.
• If desk is to be carried up or down stairs, empty it completely.
  
  

GLASS TOPS ON DESKS

Will be moved by a glass specialist.

FILING CABINETS 

Place label on top drawer.  Be sure all pressure plates are moved forward so contents will be secured.  It’s not necessary to lock the drawers.  Lateral file cabinets need to be empted out.  Vertical file cabinets can remain full.

BOOKCASES

Place label on either side at the top.  Contents should be removed and packed in containers.

GREEN Office Moves

Our special equipment eliminates the need to purchase cartons and tape. The grey plastic totes have the ability to use letter or legal size documents. Eliminates the need for any employee to lift heavy boxes which could result in a strained back and lost work time. Wooden gondolas/library carts are ideal for book shelves and file rooms

LARGE METAL SUPPLY CABINETS

Place label on front near upper right-hand corner.  Remove contents and pack in containers.  Tag contents same as cabinet.

COMPUTERS and OTHER MACHINES

A special rack is used to move office machines. 

• Unplug all cords - pack if removable - if not wrap around machine.
• For all other machines, place a label on the top or in the front. 

PACKING CONTAINERS

Place label on EITHER END, NOT ON TOP. Containers are stacked when moved, therefore please DO NOT over-pack.  Flat tops on cartons speed up the move.

MISCELLANEOUS

• Don’t forget to tag chair seat and pad, carpet protector, wastebaskets, etc.
• Labels are easily removed when move is completed; because of this they will not adhere to some surfaces - if necessary place piece of scotch-tape over label.
• We are not allowed to remove items attached to walls: detach and label if going.
• If you have any questions contact you supervisor.
