Labeling Instructions

Please ensure all boxes are clearly labeled. This is critical to ensure your items are delivered to the correct location.

The relocation of boxes and equipment is based solely on the provided label color, workstation and/or room number, and last name written on the official move label—not on any information written directly on the box.

When completing your moving labels:

  • Write your last name across the top.
  • Write your floor number.
  • Write your room number.

SAMPLE:

Leave the “Piece” field blank. The PDCM team will complete this field immediately before your move. The piece number will identify the total number of pieces being moved from your current space to your new space.

Upon completing your packing, PDCM will walk all spaces and indicate the total number of boxes on each label (e.g., Box 1 of 5, Box 2 of 5) to allow for confirmation that all items are accounted for and documented.

Should you require any additional boxes and/or labels, please email moves@ucmerced.edu to obtain extras.

Carefully review the instructions below and refer to the diagram for proper label placement.
