Packing can be a very tricky aspect of moving. When doing your own packing, it is important to request materials from your moving company prior to the move. Make sure items that can be damaged easily are packed securely to ensure safe transportation.

• Protect your employees from injury and your company from a Workers Compensation claim by using the supplies provided by your moving company. Do not over pack boxes so they overflow or are too heavy for an employee to lift. Ask for packing and lifting services if needed;
  
  
• When relocating the company's files, there are several things that need to be considered:
  * Do you need full access immediately before, during and after your move?
  * Is this an opportunity to reorganize your current filing system?
  * Redistribute filing cabinets?
  * Will a filer be assigned to reorganize the files before and after the move?
  
  
• Will you repaint your file cabinets? If so, they should be bolted and leveled beforehand for a neat appearance.
  
  
• Consideration for the library and its contents is also something that must be looked into. Book bins can be an alternate method of storing and transporting books and other library contents. Bins provide full access to your books immediately before, during and after your move.
