Move Your Business with Minimal Downtime

When you’re in business, time is money. Shleppers knows how important it is to you to get your business up and running right away. As a full-service commercial moving company, we offer expert packing services that will streamline the moving process and make the move easier on your employees. Some of our commercial customers prefer to pack their own files and inventory. For these customers, we offer the following tips on organization, packing, and labeling:

Color Coding Makes Life Simple

Use colored labels or stickers to identify boxes that need to be kept together. Some companies color code by department, inventory type, or product line, or to indicate what employee will be responsible for making sure these boxes are properly unpacked. However you do it, color coding your moving boxes can save a lot of time and stress.

Label Boxes Clearly

The label on each moving box should indicate what the box contains, any important identifying details, and, if there is more than one box of the same type of item, what number box this is. It is a good best practice to be specific: a label that reads “Files” can be useful, but a label that reads “Files A-C” is even better.

Make A List of Your Boxes Before They’re Loaded

Each employee who is responsible for making sure boxes are properly delivered and unpacked needs to have a complete and accurate list of the boxes they’re responsible for. This is a valuable checklist that will ensure no boxes are lost or misrouted during the move. If you have difficulty preparing a list like this, just let us know. Shleppers has expert-level planning and organization skills, and we’ll help you make it happen.
