What to Pack and How to Pack Boxes for Your Self Storage Unit
Knowing what to pack and how to pack your boxes is key when it comes to making the most of your self storage unit. Proper packing not only maximizes the use of your space, but also helps protect your items during storage. After all, no one wants their valuables ruined after a long period of time in storage. This guide will help you get started on packing everything up in an efficient manner.
The first step is to create a packed inventory list. Make sure that you list down all the items you are putting into storage, along with their value and condition before they enter the unit. Taking pictures can also be helpful if an item is particularly fragile or valuable so that you have evidence of its condition before storing it away.
Next, acquire the right materials for your packing. Cardboard boxes are essential for protecting your belongings from dust and scratches, however, if you're storing delicate items like books or pictures, you may want to get additional protective materials such as tissue paper, bubble wrap or styrofoam peanuts. Additionally, do not forget about the sealing tape! If you're at Storage Temple, we provide boxes and other packaging materials for sale - just make sure you call our office beforehand so that we can set enough supplies aside for you.
Finally, pack everything up! Use smaller boxes instead of large ones so that they are easier to transport and move around within the unit. Make sure that all fragile items are properly wrapped up in professional grade materials and fill remaining space with styrofoam peanuts or newspaper wads to ensure that everything is held secure during transit and storage. Try your best to keep heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones at the top; this will reduce strain on your back when moving around the unit later on. After everything has been packed away neatly, remember to label each box with a description of its contents for easy access in future!
