Electrical Equipment - All equipment should be thoroughly cleaned and dry before it is stored.
Metal Equipment - Tools and Other Metal Items - All equipment needs to be clean. To retard rust, wipe all metal surfaces with a rag containing a few drops of machine oil.
Files, Records and Other Documents - Pack books flat to protect their spines. Do not place boxes directly on concrete floors, but use pallets or skids to prevent moisture absorption. Use packing to fill out empty pockets in boxes.
Fragile Items - Place a layer of packing inside the bottom and at the top of boxes containing fragile items. All items should be individually wrapped placing the most fragile near the top of the cartons. Label all boxes containing delicate items "FRAGILE".
Furniture - Place a pallet, corrugated cardboard mat, or plastic sheet on the floor and stand sofas on end. Disassemble furniture and wrap table legs in paper. If furniture, such as a table, will not disassemble, place padding on the floor and place the table on its top with legs pointing up. Most lightweight chairs can be stacked "seat to seat" or placed upside down on other furniture. Finally, place a light dust cover over your furniture.
