Preparing electronics for shipping boxes

If you’re one of those people who saves all the information that comes with new purchases, and can find them, you’re one step ahead of the rest of us. Most manufacturers will advise you, generally indicating you should save the box it came in. This rarely being the case for most, we’ll move on to the next step.
Remove any ink or toner cartridges from your printers and fax machines. Store them in sealable plastic bags (we do it individually). Toner cartridges can be tricky because once they are opened, it is best to keep them horizontal. As with most other items, assure they are snugly in the moving boxes with lots of crushed paper to keep them in place. It is best to put a layer of crushed paper down first and lay the toner cartridge on top. This will absorb shock and reduce the possibility of the plastic cracking from stress.
