Packing efficiently can save you space and protect your items. Here are some top tips for packing your storage unit like a pro.
Using Proper Packing Materials
High-Quality Boxes: Use sturdy, uniform boxes that are the same size for easy stacking.
Avoid used boxes that might collapse under weight.
Protective Wraps: Use bubble wrap, packing paper, and furniture covers to protect fragile items and furniture.
Labels and Markers: Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. Use waterproof markers to prevent smudging.
Maximizing Space Within Boxes
Fill Empty Spaces: Use packing peanuts, towels, or bubble wrap to fill gaps in boxes to prevent shifting during transport.
Heavy Items on the Bottom: Place heavier items at the bottom of boxes and lighter items on top to avoid crushing.
Disassemble Large Items: Break down furniture and large items as much as possible to save space.
