Moving and Storage Tips

Before throwing your items into a residential or commercial storage unit, you'll want to prep your items for storage. This process is very similar to how you’d prepare your other items for the big move.

Label Everything

The last thing anyone wants to do is look through all the boxes in a storage unit to find a single item. Labeling everything in your storage area makes finding things much easier later. Use permanent markers or spray paint to label boxes and containers.

Store Like Items Together

It may seem obvious, but packing related items together keeps them organized and prevents clutter. For example, put tools together in one box, clothing together in another, and kitchen appliances together in another. If you have multiple boxes of items from one room, place them in the same section of the storage area.

Don’t Overpack

It can be tempting to overpack your items in boxes, especially if they’re just going to sit in storage. However, overpacking can lead to damaged goods and lost items. When packing, ensure every box can be securely closed and taped. Also, make sure your boxes aren’t overfilled or too heavy—you’ll thank yourself when it’s time to unpack!

Pack Heavy Items First

Packing heavy items first ensures that lighter items aren't crushed while sitting in storage. Put heavier items in the bottom of your boxes.

Use Boxes That Fit Properly

Use boxes that fit securely. Avoid flimsy cardboard boxes that can easily break open.

Use Larger Storage Containers for Smaller Items

Smaller items can be stored in larger containers. For example, small appliances can go inside large plastic bins.

Sometimes, even packing can start to feel overwhelming. We’re here to help! One of our expert moving consultants will craft a personalized moving plan for you, and our professional moving teams are more than happy to help pack, unpack and even assemble items. Contact us today for a quote.
