Packing instructions for the staff of the company moving
A well-planned move makes the transition to new premises a pleasant experience. Packing instructions will help you prepare for your business move.
If you have any questions about moving schedules or need further advice on packing or protection, please contact your company’s dedicated moving contact. He or she will be your direct link to Niemi.
Good luck in your new premises and enjoy your work!
Packing the workstation
Pack the movable goods you use from your workplace into moving boxes and mark the boxes with a moving label. Be sure to check your desk drawers, cupboards and shelves.
Mark furniture that is being moved to your new premises with a removal sticker.
Clear any furniture that remains in the old office of any movables and leave cupboards and drawers unlocked (tape a key to the inside of the door/drawer).
Sort and take to a collection point anything that you don’t need. Do not leave rubbish at your workstation.
Packing of IT equipment
Mark the display and the central unit/brick with a moving sticker. Disconnect all cables and pack them, the mouse and keyboard in a soft bag. Leave the computer and monitor marked on your desk.
Niemi will pack the IT equipment into moving cabinets to be transferred to the new address.
Packing of easily breakable / bulky objects
Carefully protect fragile objects with suitable packaging material and pack them tightly in moving boxes.
Mark the moving box with address of your workspace/room (please use moving sticker).
In addition, tape the words “FRAGILE” to both ends of the box.
You can pack bulky items in a moving box or a trolley. If the items extend beyond the edges of the moving box, you can leave the boxes side by side on the floor.
Trolleys are a handy way to pack cardboard boxes, paintings, dividers and other small items that won’t fit in moving boxes or are too heavy to carry.
It comes standard with a front and rear wall and can be fitted with additional walls and shelves for versatile use.
Protect your items well.
Mark your goods with removal stickers
Mark each item to be moved with a Niemi moving sticker. Write the “address” of the goods on the sticker, i.e. the number of the workstation to which the goods will be moved in the new premises, the floor and your own name, e.g. “Workstation 45, 5th floor, Mary Mover”.
Also mark the furniture to be moved to the new premises with a moving sticker.
What to consider when packing your moving box
Fill the moving box only up to its openings. Pack loose papers in the bottom of the box or in plastic bags.
Stack the packed boxes in piles of four so that boxes going into the same space are always in the same pile. Check that the labels on the boxes remain visible.
Flip the metal flaps of the box over the box before stacking.
