STORAGE TIPS
Get helpful storage tips to pack, organize, and protect your belongings for a clean, efficient, and stress-free storage experience.
1. Label Everything Clearly
Use permanent markers to label boxes on multiple sides so you can quickly identify contents without opening each one. This saves time and keeps your unit organized.
2. Use Uniform, Sturdy Boxes
Choose similar-sized, durable boxes to make stacking safer and more efficient. This helps prevent collapsing and maximizes vertical space.
3. Place Heavy Items on the Bottom
Always stack heavier boxes and items on the floor and lighter items on top to avoid damage and improve stability.
4. Disassemble Large Furniture
Break down beds, tables, and shelving when possible. This creates more usable space and makes it easier to move items in and out of your unit.
5. Protect Fragile Items
Wrap delicate items in blankets, bubble wrap, or padding to prevent scratches, cracks, or breakage during storage.
6. Create Walkways Inside Your Unit
Leave small aisles so you can access items in the back without having to unload everything in front.
7. Use Pallets or Plastic Bins
Keep items slightly elevated off the ground to help protect against moisture and improve airflow within your unit.
8. Store Frequently Used Items Near the Front
Place items you may need to access often close to the entrance for quick and easy retrieval.
