Storage & Supplies: How to Pack Your Items for Your Storage Unit
1. Gather Storage Supplies for Easy Access
If you need to pack up a lot of belongings, you are going to need a lot of boxes, tape, and dust covers. We sell storage supplies at our West Creek NJ facility. So whether you are already at your storage unit realizing you still need furniture covers or you are just starting to gather up boxes, we have you covered. Once you have all your supplies, put everything in a convenient bag that you can carry with you through the house as you pack. You will not misplace your items as long as you return them to the bag.
2. Check Quality of Boxes
The weight of your boxes is going to be the key for successful packing. Too much weight can cause a box to break at the bottom, and it can injure the person trying to carry it. You should pack lighter items in large boxes and heavier items in small boxes to better spread out the weight. If you end up getting boxes from stores or friends, just be sure to check the quality of those boxes before packing it up.
3. Create a Labeling System That Works for You
Labeling your boxes when placing them in storage is an essential organizational step that saves you time, effort, and frustration in the long run. By clearly marking the contents of each box, you eliminate the need to rummage through multiple containers when searching for specific items. Labels also help you arrange your storage unit in a logical and efficient manner, allowing you to group similar items together and create a systematic layout that is easy to navigate. Furthermore, proper labeling can prevent potential damage to your belongings, as it alerts you and anyone assisting you to handle boxes containing fragile or valuable items with care. Ultimately, taking the time to label your boxes before storing them will ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience when accessing your possessions in the future.
