Why Labeling Boxes Matters

Clear labels help you and your movers identify what is in each box. Over time, labeling can help reduce the time and cost of a move.

Unclear boxes take longer to sort. This can be frustrating if you need to find a specific item quickly, such as a printer or computer. Labeled boxes can also make unloading faster, so your office can open on schedule. Clear labels can help movers identify fragile items and handle them with care.

Tips for Labeling Boxes During an Office Move

Use large, legible labels that are easy to read from a distance. Write the contents of each box, the room it belongs in, and whether it is heavy or fragile.

Use color coding. Assign each room in the new office a color, and use colored stickers to show which room each box goes in. Color coding can help movers place boxes quickly.

Number your boxes. Assign a number to each box and create an inventory or spreadsheet that lists the items in each one. A numbered inventory can help if you need to unload items in stages. Number the top and sides of each box so the numbers are visible from any angle. Ask your moving company which box options it provides.

Extra Tips

Start planning early, and consider hiring professional packers so you have more time for other tasks. Declutter before the move. Throw away, donate, or sell items you do not need. You can find lists of items to declutter right away.

If you are moving boxes or other office supplies, moving boxes in Jersey City are available from some providers.
