Planning to Use Plastic Crates to Pack Up Your Office? Tell Your Customers to Pack a Lunch

If you’re planning to use plastic crates for your office move, plan to pack up your productivity along with your property— and while you’re at it, you may as well tell your customers that if they need you during the move, they should pack a lunch and prepare to wait… and keep waiting.

Plastic crates may seem practical, and they certainly last longer and more durable than cardboard boxes, even though they are more expensive. But in our experience, they will kill your ability to conduct business as usual for days or even weeks before and after your move. And we’ve been helping businesses relocate for over 23 years, so we ought to know—we’ve seen it happen over and over again.

Plastic Crates are a Massive Productivity Suck

Packing your property into small, sealed containers essentially puts it out of sight and out of easy reach for as long as it’s stashed there. Finding what you need and unpacking/repacking it becomes your central focus, and in a move with hundreds of crates, finding the one crate with the one file you need can be an epic challenge that takes a REALLY long time.

That’s time NOT spent taking care of your customers, or conducting your business.

There IS a Better Way: Kill the Crates, Go with Gondolas!

It’s precisely because plastic crates and the cardboard boxes they replaced are such a productivity suck that we knew we had to find a better solution. Our customers needed a way to safely move their property in larger “chunks” than a plastic crate can hold, without losing access to their ability to serve their customers for days or weeks.

There was no other solution, so we invented one: the Office Move Gondola.

Our Gondolas are basically large, sturdy rolling carts with shelves. Each one can hold as much as 6-10 plastic crates or more, so it’s much easier to find what you need because there are just fewer places to look! They’re easier to move, because they’re on wheels. And because our gondolas are open, you can still see everything and put your hands on exactly what you want in seconds, instead of searching through one plastic crate after another. And putting it back is as easy as finding it.

Open Gondolas DON’T Mean Open to Compliance Breach

With the right security protocols in place and best practices followed, your confidential information is actually BETTER PROTECTED on one of our open gondolas than it would be in plastic crates! So even our customers with the strictest compliance requirements are protected against breach when using our open gondolas.

Don’t Sign Up for Costlier Crates Without Considering our Greener Gondolas!

Plastic crates are not the preferred packing container anymore—they are more expensive, less user-friendly and much worse for the environment than our gondolas.
