Packing for Storage
Use large boxes for light items and
smaller boxes for heavier items.
Small boxes are suggested
for books, which should be packed flat to protect their spines.
Utilize large items for
extra storage space.
Refrigerators, freezers
and washers are perfect for storing soft items such as linens, towels & clothing.
Wrap dishes and glassware
individually, and pad the box with packing paper or bubblewrap. It's best to store plates on their
sides
Take special care when
packing mirrors, windows and screens. Mirror packs or strong cardboard help prevent
damage.
Self Storage
Tips
Place pallets, tarps or plastic sheets on the floor of your unit
before storing any items. Allow for proper ventilation by not packing items right up against the walls. This
is especially important in humid climates.
Leave access space in front of your unit, and keep your frequently
used items where you can easily reach them. The two things people most frequently return for are clothes and
files; we recommend you label these things and keep them towards the front of your unit.
Stacking uniform size boxes helps maximize your available space.
Don't stack higher than you can comfortably reach.
Store high value items toward the back of your storage unit in
unmarked boxes.
Protect furniture, including mattresses and box springs, with
plastic covers, and stand on end.
