What is the Best Way to Pack a Computer for Moving?

Here, I have explained how I packed my computer when I moved to a new flat.

1. First, I turned off my computer and unplugged the power cable.

2. Then, I carefully disconnected every single wire and cable, keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, external hard drive, Ethernet, all of it.

3. For the cables that looked similar, I marked them with masking tape so I would know where they go when setting it up again.

4. After everything was unplugged, I organised the cables and put them in a plastic bag.

5. I covered the box with bubble wrap to give it some cushioning.

6. Then I wrapped my computer with more bubble wrap and placed it standing upright inside the box.

7. I wrapped the monitor well to protect the screen, then placed it next to the tower in the box.

8. Since my monitor is not huge, I kept it in the same box.

9. After that, I wrapped up the keyboard, mouse, and all the other accessories and put them in another box.

10. I filled empty spots with more packing material to keep everything from shifting during the move.

11. Finally, I closed the box and sealed it up tightly with tape.

This is the way I packed my computer system when I moved. I hope this will help you.

How to Pack a PC for Moving?

Here are the steps I followed to pack my PC for moving:

Backup Data and Power Off

I backed up all my important files. I properly shut down my computer and then unplugged it. I removed all power cords, and carefully disconnected accessories like the monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

Label and Organize

It’s hard to figure out which cable goes where. So, I labeled each cable with paper tape and a marker. Then, I grouped them together using rubber bands and sealed them in a bag.

Collect Packing Materials

I still had the original packaging for my computer. But if you don’t, get some cardboard boxes and plenty of padding like bubble wraps, packing papers, and air pockets. I lined the bottom of the box with newspaper for cushioning.

Wrap and Pack

I wrapped my CPU carefully in packing paper and placed it in the hard box by filling the gaps.

After making sure everything was secure in the box, I labeled the box as “Fragile”.

By following these steps on how to pack a computer monitor for moving, my computer made it to my new place without a scratch. However, if you're moving and want peace of mind, definitely hire a professional to pack and shift your PC properly.
