Packing Tips to Protect Your Belongings in Storage

Use sturdy boxes and clear labels

• Choose boxes that stack well
• Use strong packing tape
• Wrap fragile items separately
• Label more than one side of each box

Protect furniture and appliances

Clean and dry items before storage. Dismantle larger furniture where practical, cover exposed surfaces, and keep appliance doors slightly open when appropriate.

Create a simple inventory

Number your boxes and keep a short list on your phone or in a document. This is especially helpful for business stock and long-term storage.

Pack the unit with access in mind

• Place heavier items toward the back and sides
• Keep regularly used items near the front
• Use vertical space safely
• Create a small aisle in larger units
