3 Tips: How to Pack Your Storage Unit
Map Out a Layout for Your Storage Unit
Keep valuables in the back and items you wish to access frequently up front by the door. We always recommend leaving space for an aisle in the center of your unit, so you have room to get to all of your items and move boxes around if need be. Be intentional with where you place your items in your storage unit, so you have a better chance of finding your items again later when you need them.
Purchase Quality Storage Supplies
Stored Away Self Storage sells packing supplies in our office on Highway 172. Stock up on boxes, bubble wrap, locks, and more before you start packing up your items. Make sure the boxes and bins you have already are sturdy and can safely be packed away for a few months. You will also want to evaluate any sensitive or fragile items you are storing to make sure you have extra accommodations, like additional padding or an air-tight container, to keep them safe long-term.
Label Wherever Necessary
If you cannot see the contents of a box or bin, write a quick note to remind yourself later, like “DVDs and CDs” or “winter clothes.” Then when you are looking for a specific item later, you can just reference your label instead of pulling open every box. Your labeling technique might be writing directly on the box, or it might look like making yourself a cheat sheet to reference. The key is finding the method that best allows you to remember the location of your items.
