3 Useful Tips to Pack Your Storage Unit Efficiently
Learn to Pack Vertically
Start by mapping out an aisle down the center of your storage unit, like in the image below. This way, as you move boxes around over time, you will still be able to access all corners of your storage unit. Utilize vertical space in your storage unit to avoid clutter. If possible, install shelves to elevate storage and create space for larger items. Also, be sure to store heavier boxes at the base level, and place smaller lighter boxes on top. Packing vertically only works if you can ensure all your delicate items are properly packed and you are not posing a risk of damage. That leads us to our next self storage packing tip.
Use the Right Type of Boxes
Inspect your boxes prior to use—make sure that they are all in good condition. You do not want the contents of your box to fall through the bottom as you are carrying it. Look for sturdy boxes and other packing containers to hold your belongings throughout their time in storage. Visit Sunrise Storage in Orwigsburg for all of your packing and storage materials today!
