Packing a Storage Unit

Start with a simple plan and a few tips from us:

  • Label your boxes and keep an inventory of what’s in your storage unit.
  • Seal all your boxes with tape.
  • Turn box labels to face the aisle of the storage unit.
  • Maximize the storage unit space.
  • Place the heavier, sturdier items at the bottom and stack the rest on top.
  • Be sure to thoroughly pack your storage boxes by filling gaps to help keep the boxes stable.
  • Leave an aisle inside your storage unit.
  • Make sure you have a way to access your belongings at the rear of your storage unit space.
  • Think of ways to conserve space, like taking the legs off tables before putting them in the storage unit.
  • Place dust covers on your mattresses and furniture to keep them clean in your storage unit.
  • Tip your mattress on its end.
  • Place small items and cloth items inside empty drawers.
  • Turn box labels to face the aisle of your storage unit.
