Office Moving Labeling Strategy
Labeling Strategy
Getting all your files, furniture and equipment from A to B without too much disruption can seem like a real challenge. You will need to pack and label items in such a way that makes it easy for your staff and your moving company to resume business operations as quickly as possible on the first day in your new office.
Having a clear labeling strategy will help you easily identify critical items such as computers, phones and printers, and help eliminate any boxes from going astray during the move.
A professional office moving company will use self-adhesive color-coded labels that follow a sequential system according to their location in the new office, as well as the content of each box.
Your office moving company will discuss the most appropriate labeling strategy with you, and as each box is packed, the contents and box number/color will be noted down, and a copy given to you once the final box has been loaded.
Staff Labels
Staff are usually responsible for packing their own personal desk items, so they'll each need a crate and a label to mark their name and location in the new office. Make sure you fully brief staff as to how the labeling system works and that they understand the importance of labeling everything clearly.
Most businesses move over a weekend and staff may not necessarily be there to identify their items. A clear labeling strategy will save you heaps of time when you get to the new office and will help you find a new home for your belongings quickly.
More importantly, it will prevent your business suffering any disruption and you will be able to get your business back up and running quickly following the move.
Use this Office Moving Checklist to make sure you have organized and planned all the important issues to help your office move dovetail smoothly.
