Helpful Tips

Boxing & Packing Tips

• Use high-quality packing boxes designed especially for the job, not "grocery store" cartons. You can order packing supplies and boxes directly from our stores.
• Pack books and other heavy objects in smaller boxes for easier lifting.
• For clothing storage, use wardrobe boxes so you can hang your garments.
• Use the same size boxes for easy stacking.
• Fill boxes completely, stuffing open areas with packing paper to prevent collapsing when stacked.
• Seal boxes completely with packing tape to keep out dust.

How to pack your storage space

• Store couches (except sofa-beds) on end to maximize space.
• Protect mattresses and furniture with pads and covers.
• Wrap mirrors and pictures with paper pads, or use mirror boxes. Never store these items flat.
• Label all boxes on several sides for easy locating.
• Disassemble tables and shelves and store on their sides. Wrap and mark all pieces for easier re-assembly.
• When you disassemble electronics, such as computers, stereos, things that have numerous cords, place small colored stickers on the cord and the same color sticker where the cord goes. This will save you the hassle of trying to figure out what goes where when it comes time to reassemble your electronics. If possible, use the original boxes to store your electronics and other items.
• Seal boxes completely with packing tape to keep out dust and pack snugly to prevent collapsing when stacked.
• Utilize all the space in your unit. Make a plan as to how you are going to arrange your items. A good plan will save you the time of having to rearrange your unit.
• Leave a center aisle for easy access to all items.
• Use shelving to maximize your storage space.
• Store items you'll need most often at the front of your unit.
• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors slightly ajar and clean before storing. And don't forget to use the space inside for extra storage.
• To prevent rusting rub a small amount of machine oil on metal tools, bicycles, and equipment. Drain and clean all debris from all equipment before you store them.
• Rubbermaid containers are great to store your items. They have tight fitting lids and stack easily. Keep the more valuable items in the rear of the unit. This will prevent others from seeing them when you are in your unit.
• Place a layer of packing inside the bottom and at the top of boxes containing glassware. Ideally these items should be stored in a specifically designed dish pack box. All glass items should be individually wrapped: nest cups and bowls and stand plates, saucers and platters on edge. Wrapped glasses should be placed near the top of cartons. Again, fill all pockets with packing materials. Label all boxes containing glassware, and do not place heavy items on boxes containing glassware.
• DO NOT use plastic to cover your belongings. It retains moisture.
• DO NOT store any food items. This will prevent any unwanted guests.
• DO NOT pack your boxes so that they are too heavy to carry them. Especially when you are packing books.
• DO NOT assume that your homeowners or renters insurance will cover your belongings while in storage. Purchase the insurance.
• DO NOT give out your password, gate code or any information to any one that is not listed as having "Access".
• DO NOT use printed newspaper. The ink may smudge and get on your items.
• DO NOT forget to clean appliances before you store them.
• DO NOT store any toxins or flammables. Such as paint, oil, or gasoline.
