Preparation Steps Before Relocating Office Archives

The first step is to know exactly how many documents are in how many boxes. Estimating this by eye would be a big mistake. Before moving:

• Create an archive map: List how many filing cabinets and boxes there are, and what documents they contain.

• Be aware of your clumsiness: Archive boxes are heavy. Providing the right information to the transporter ensures that the appropriate vehicle is selected.

• Paste the serial number.
• Write a list of contents (such as "Accounting Documents 2020-2021").

• Please specify where in the new office it will be located (Archive Room, 3rd Floor, etc.).

This system enables quick setup in the new office and allows any losses to be detected immediately.
