Boxes and Packaging for Computers
If you need to pack and ship your computer but you’ve lost the original boxes and packaging, don’t despair. Here are a few tips to help you transport your computer, printer and accessories safely.
Purchase a heavy corrugated cardboard box from a packaging supply company. Special computer packing boxes and printer’s boxes are available. Check to make sure that the weight capacity of the box (usually printed on the underside of the box) exceeds the weight of your computer and accessories.
Wrap the computer in bubble wrap and use shipping tape to seal all the sides. Wrap other accessories, including the mouse and keyboard, separately. Fill the box with extra bubble wrap, as well as polystyrene loose fill, crumpled newspaper, tissues and wrappers, and other cushioning material.
Shake the box to check that the computer can’t move inside the box. Seal the entire box, including all corners and edges, with strong shipping tape such as pressure-sensitive tape, water-activated tape or other flexible and strong tape.
If you are mailing the box, mark the box with a delivery and return address, and also include a shipping label with your telephone contact details inside the box. Finally, mark the box FRAGILE. You’re all set!
