How to Properly Pack and Store your Items
Are you thinking of storing your belongings in a self storage unit? Well, proper packing and storage is necessary. To ensure that all you items are properly stored in the unit, here are some tips:
o Use the right boxes - Make sure you use the right type of boxes for the items you are packaging. Cardboard boxes may be used for lighter items such as books and DVD's, but heavier items should be packed in plastic or metal containers. It is important to use the right type of box to ensure that all fragile items remain safe.
o Label the boxes - Be sure to label each box with its contents. This will help you easily locate your items when needed. Once your goods are stored in the box, tape it shut and add details like item name, contents, weight and intended room inside the unit on the top of each box using permanent markers or tags.
o Prepare large appliances - Large appliances like refrigerators should be thoroughly cleaned before being placed in a storage unit. All shelves and drawers should also be emptied and wiped clean before being stored. After wiping down these large items, all doors should be secured with rope or bungee cords.
Tips for Keeping your Boxes Damage Free
When storing your belongings in a self storage unit, it is important to learn how to properly pack them so that they are undamaged when you need them again. Here are a few tips for keeping your boxes damage free:
o Place heavy items at the bottom - One of the easiest ways of ensuring that no damage is done to your boxes during transportation is to place heavier items at the bottom of each box and light items at the top. This helps evenly distribute pressure from one side to another.
o Wrap fragile items - Fragile items must be wrapped with extra cushioning materials like bubble wrap or tissue paper for maximum protection. You may also opt for double walled boxes if possible, as this will provide additional support for delicate products like glassware and crockery.
o Secure stacked boxes - When stacking boxes in a storage unit, always try to secure them with straps or twine to prevent them from shifting during transit or while inside the storage space. To keep things organized while on the move, number each container on both sides before loading into vehicle or moving truck.
