Packing For Storage | Storage Preparation

Sometimes we get questions about the best way to pack to get the most out of your storage building

• When packing, be sure to use the right boxes. Get sturdy boxes, preferably the same size, to make stacking easy.

• Box everything that you possibly can. It is much easier to unpack a box than to disassemble a 3 D puzzle. Items inside boxes will stay cleaner than non packed items.

• Mark your boxes in a couple of places so that you will be able to find the right one when you need it.

• Mark boxes containing glass and other breakable items accordingly. Make sure that they are packed in some sort of protected wrapping like bubble wrap, or something similar.

• Don’t pack too many heavy items in a box.

• Fill the boxes to a reasonable level to save space. Unless the items are heavy, or easily crushed, fill them to the top.

• Books can get heavy fast, and they need to be stored flat.

• Plastic storage bags can cause humidity problems for the items they hold.

• Make sure what you are packing is dry before it is stored.

• Take apart anything that you can, to save space. Just be sure to box and label the hardware.

• Seal all box flaps with packing tape before stacking.
