How to pack electronics before moving

Packing electronics is often a tedious process of packing for a relocation, doing it the right way can save you not only time, but money by avoiding potential damages and having to replace lost parts to expensive items.

This increases the chance that something might break, using proper packing paper and or pillows and blankets to protect items is very important in ensuring they arrive safely. Other materials that are useful in packing electronics are, rubber bands for wire and cords and bubble wrap to protect screens and breakable surfaces.
