You'd think it’s common sense for employees to carefully package valuable tech—but then you get a laptop returned in a PADDED ENVELOPE! Here’s a quick checklist of supplies to provide and instructions to provide employees to ensure the safe return of company-owned devices:
Supply Original Packaging or a Sturdy Box: Ensure that it’s sized to fit the device snugly.
Include Bubble Wrap, Foam Cushioning and Additional Padding: Make sure employees have enough bubble wrap or foam to secure the device and prevent any movement inside the box.
Pack Accessories Separately: Advise employees to wrap and pack chargers, cables, and accessories separately to prevent them from scratching the device.
Lithium Battery Labels: If the device has lithium batteries, include proper warning stickers or labels, and instruct employees to attach them to the box for safe handling and shipping compliance.
Remind to Seal and Label Correctly: Instruct employees to tightly seal the box, label it as “Fragile,” and ensure the return address is clearly visible.
By providing these supplies and clear instructions, you’ll minimize the risk of damage and ensure your IT assets return in excellent condition.
