3 Tips for Success When You Pack Your Storage Unit
1. Be Methodical about Planning a Layout
It is easy for a storage unit to turn into a disorganized mess when you into it without a plan. Items you plan on accessing more frequently should be up by the storage unit door, and valuable items should be tucked away in the back of the storage unit. Keep like items together for quick reference later. If you are storing the contents of your house, for example, you may want to organize boxes by rooms in the house they belong. The best way to ensure you have easily access to all of your boxes is to leave room for a center aisle for walking and moving items.
2. Pack with Sturdy Boxes and Quality Storage Supplies
The key to keeping your items safe in storage is packing them with quality materials. A worn out box will break over time, and you do not want your belongings falling through the bottom. Acquiring new storage supplies for long-term storage will be well worth your while.
We sell packing supplies in our South Boulevard office because we want our tenants to have access everything they need for a successful storage experience. You can purchase boxes, bubble wrap, and more on-site!
3. For Easy Searching Later, Label Boxes You Cannot See Into
Figure out a labeling system that works best for you, whether that is writing on the box, creating a cheat sheet, or another way. It will be a lot simpler to find a specific tool later when you know you only need to find the box labeled “garage tools” instead of rummaging through all the boxes with garage-type items.
