Self Storage Hints And Tips For Packaging And Storing

Please see below Premier Self Storage’s top 20 hints and tips for packaging and storing:

•   Use good quality storage boxes. All packing materials required can be purchased from our reception

•  Fill boxes to capacity, as partially full or bulging boxes may tip or collapse

•   Heavy items should be packed into small boxes so that they are easy to lift

•   Label or number boxes for easy reference when you need to locate your goods

•   Make up an inventory of your stored items and keep it in a safe place at home

•   Protect your fragile goods in bubble wrap

•   Dishes and glasses should be wrapped in tissue paper or bubble wrap before storing

•   Garden equipment should be cleaned before storing

•   Wrap table legs with bubble wrap before storing

•   Wardrobe boxes allow you to store your clothing on hangers which keeps their shape

•   Place heavy or bulky items in the room first to provide a good stacking base

•   Plan your storage space – put those items that you need to get to most often near the front, close to the door

•   To maximise space stack similar sized boxes together

•   Do not place heavy items on sofas or mattresses

•   Always place a protective cover over your soft furnishings
